Includes a major upgrade to Native Engine converter, support for Windows Server 2016, plus JSON replaces XML.
Features
- Major upgrade to the Native Engine converter for better fidelity.
- Now supports Microsoft Windows Server 2016.
- JSON replaces XML in this release. Previously, when upgrading a WebGrabber installation, you could reinstall your custom profiles and settings using the .xml files in the backup folder.
(Now, to reinstall your custom profiles and settings, you must convert the .xml files in the backup folder to .json files. Then, you can use those converted files to replace the newly-installed .json files here: C:\ProgramData\activePDF\Settings\WebGrabber.) - Changes to the API:
- The WebGrabber COM and .NET ports are now 62625.
- You can now create output files in memory using the updated/new COM API calls:
- OutputFormat: Updated OutputFormat property, adding File and ByteArray.
- OutputFileFormat: Added new OutputFileFormat enumerator, which uses 64-byte-encoded characters.
- New .NET API:
- OutputFormat: Added new OutputFormat property, which uses File and ByteArray.
- OutputFileFormat: Added new OutputFileFormat enumerator. If OutputFormat is set to ByteArray, it contains the byte array returned from the service.
- WebGrabber supports the let statement in JavaScript.
- In this release, you cannot concatenate files generated in-memory. The Overwrite method has no effect on in-memory generation.
