Breaking changes
PDF4NET 4.0 introduces several breaking changes relative to PDF4NET 3.3. Why did we choose this solution?
After 6 years of development on this product, and other PDF related products, we gained deep knowledge on PDF and the existing architecture of PDF4NET could no longer face the challenges. We had to redesign the internal architecture, to make it more extensible, to easily support new features. We kept the public API the same like in previous versions in most scenarios but in several situations we had to change it, to make it easier to understand. Although several classes and enums have been removed because, based on our experience they were not used by customers, the corresponding functionality is still available in PDF4NET. For example the classes in O2S.Components.PDF4NET.Graphics.Shapes namespace have been removed because it is more natural to draw a line using page.Canvas.DrawLine() method then to create a PDFLine object and add it to the canvas.
PDF4NET 3.3 also did not support PDF files with custom information. Loading and saving such a PDF file with PDF4NET 3.3 caused all the custom information to be discarded. The generic PDF engine in PDF4NET 4.0 no longer does this and it also supports adding custom information to PDF objects.
If you upgrade your PDF4NET 3.3 code to PDF4NET 4.0 and you encounter any problems, send us an email and we'll assist you. Also support for PDF4NET 3.3 (bug fixes but no new features) will be available till 31 December 2010.
