List of Changes in GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET 17.7.0

GroupDocs.Viewer.Converter.Options.PdfOptions - Public bool PreventGlyphsGrouping obsolete property compilation is set to fail

Using this property in non obsolete members will result in compilation error. Get ready for the change, this property is no longer active and will be completely removed in the next version. Please use EnablePreciseRendering property instead. The difference between this tow settings is that obsolete PreventGlyphsGrouping property has been influencing only rendering into HTML, whereas EnablePreciseRendering affects both image and HTML rendering. More over EnablePreciseRendering contains additional technics for improving rendering PDF documents.

Public GroupDocs.Viewer.Domain.EmailAttachment obsolete class and class members compilation is set to fail

Please use GroupDocs.Viewer.Domain.Attachment class instead as show in example below. This class is obsolete and will be removed in the next version.
