What's New in this Release?

Aspose team is pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Pdf for .NET 17.12.0. This new release contains new useful features, enhancements and bug fixes. Starting from Aspose.Pdf for .NET 17.12, this API includes .NET Standard 2.0 version. Aspose product team has ported complete functionality of regular .NET version of Aspose.Pdf, into .NET Standard 2.0 version. Since this is the first version with .NET Standard 2.0 support, so in the features related to graphics, there may be some problems and the product team has been working hard to fix them. Aspose team has implemented support of gradient fill for text adding scenarios. Setting gradient fill to TextFragment/TextSegment’s foreground color is going to be operable in Aspose.Pdf for .NET 17.12. While adding TOC (Table of Contents) in the PDF documents, usually headings in the list, are showed with page numbers where they navigate users after clicking them.
