- Changed help system from CHM (Microsoft Compressed Help) format to standard HTML.
- Fixed native meta image conversion rare embedded image size issue.
- Fixed native meta image conversion Unicode required codepage character (i.e. Unicode values < 256) so that they are correctly treated as direct indices into the current pdf codepage font and not treated as full Unicode character glyph.
- Note: Some images that previously could not be loaded due to incorrectly written image file formats can now be loaded.
v2.30 July 2011
- Enhanced native meta image conversion so that as many unique EMF images per PDF document can be accommodated as necessary subject to memory limitations.

- Fixed native meta image conversion font matching of the same font but to different codepages on the same page - previously subsequent different codepages were not being matched.
- Fixed native meta image conversion font matching for some language codepages (e.g. Hebrew) which was not converting text if the text was specified using glyph indices into the true type font table instead of direct Unicode characters.

- Enhanced native meta image conversion to support SmallTextOut record.
- Enhanced native meta image conversion to support Windows font aliases.
- Enhanced native meta image conversion so that fonts specified with a system default charset now use the current system codepage rather than defaulting to codepage 1252.

- Enhanced meta file rendering of embedded bitmaps to obey the bounding rectangle position and size.
- Extended native meta image conversion rendering to support Japanese fonts (MS-Gothic, MS-PGothic, MS-Mincyo, MS-PMincyo), Korean fonts (Batang, BatangChe, Dotum, DotumChe), Chinese Simplified fonts (SimSun, SimHei) and Chinese Traditional font (MingLiU).
- Changed native meta image conversion rendering of filled rectangles with pen stroked outlines so that default pen widths of 1 get adjusted by the DPI being used.
- Changed native meta image conversion to round the calculated DPI up to the nearest integer, eg 599.3 instead of being taken as 599 is rounded up to 600.
- Fixed native meta image conversion problem when output text that has been specified as zero length (ie an empty text string with no text in it) which if it had been specified before the font selection caused the conversion to abort.
- Fixed native meta image conversion problem when displaying a bitmap without any bitmap data, it will now only fill in the bitmap area with the current color if the background mode is not transparent.

- Fixed WMF/EMF problem with fonts that are specified with a non-default width for their point size.
- Extended the number of files that can be added from the "Add Image" dialog box - previously the filenames of all added files had to be a total of 255 characters or less - now it is 30000 characters. Note this does not affect the ability to "drag and drop" files which did not have this limit.

- Added option (for native meta image conversion) that applies font scaling to the default native PDF rendering of text for fonts that cannot be matched to better approximate the size of the un-matched font.
- Updated support for JPEG images which now require less memory when creating a PDF document.
- Updated support for TIFF images with different horizontal and vertical DPI settings (eg normal mode faxes) when using the actual image DPI.
- Change so that default producer value now set to combat problem if not set and using produced PDF with other applications (you can change this default value to any text you like).

- Fixed outline (bookmark) style of capitalise which was not forcing subsequent letters of a word to lower case after the initial capital.
- Fixed full screen option which now always works (previously having an outline active stopped this).
v1.51 November 2006
- Fixed bug in TIFF library code when loading in a minority of TIFF files that caused the application to crash.
- Fixed bug for standard WMF/EMF files which would get the image dimensions wrong on occasion. NB Aldus placeable WMF files were not affected.

- Added GIF, BMP, PCX and TGA image support.
- Fixed a minor bug that sometimes displayed the wrong tab after making a PDF.
- Fixed bug that gave blank outline (bookmark) names when image filenames specified had no filepath (ie in current directory).
