The following sections describe some details regarding these newly added features/enhancements.

Improved rendering of SVG images

We have improved the SVG image rendering technique in this version. Earlier, upon inserting the SVG image into the document, it is converted to meta-file (EMF) using GDI/+. We have noticed that GDI/+ is not working as expected in the multithreading approach, an exception occurs in GDI/+. To prevent problems with multi-threading, we have switched to our own EMF renderer instead of GDI/+.

Automatically Adjust Space between East Asian and Latin Text/Number

We have implemented a new feature in this release to automatically adjust space between East Asian and Latin text and Numbers and East Asian text.  We have added two public properties in ParagraphFormat class AddSpaceBetweenFarEastAndAlpha and AddSpaceBetweenFarEastAndDigit to achieve this. Gets or Sets flag indicating whether inter-character spacing is automatically adjusted. 

Import HTML Form Fields Tags as Content Control Tags(SDT)

Some of our customers have the requirement to import HTML form fields as content control tags(SDT) in HTML to DOCX conversion. We have introduced this new feature in Aspose.Words for Java 17.6. Now you can import <input> and <select> elements as content control (SDT) during HTML to DOCX conversion.  Please check the following sample code snippet for detail:
