Version 2.44.0.1931 of SetaPDF Landed2024-04-08

Our first release of SetaPDF in 2024 is available!

This release comes with some new features and bugfixes which ensure the interoperability with special crafted PDF files and internal structures.

The SetaPDF-Merger component will handle named destinations of the catalogs Dests entry now, too. A serious bug in view to renaming of named destinations used in bookmark outlines was also fixed.

The DSS (Document Security Store) helper class of the SetaPDF-Signer got a new method that allows you to control whether the optional certificate field in the OCSP response should be kept or removed when an OCSP response is added to the DSS - we encountered some validation engines that require the OCSP signing certificate to be embedded in the optional certs field of the response itself instead of e.g. the Certs entry in the DSS.

This release also keeps the origin data types of numeric values for better interoperability with signature validation engines: Before this release e.g. the number 500.0 was rewritten as 500 which could be interpreted as an invalid/not allowed change by a validation engine. If a value is initiated by a decimal value it will also be written as such as of now.
