Full List of Issues Covering all Changes in this Release

Conversion from AZW3 format

Now you can load e-books in Amazon Kindle AZW3 format and convert them to any other of the supported formats:

// Load the source AZW3 file
try (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.azw3")) {
    // Set the convert options for DOCX format
    WordProcessingConvertOptions options = new WordProcessingConvertOptions();
    // Convert to DOCX format
    converter.convert("converted.docx", options);
    }

Keep the original value of the date field

When converting word-processing documents, you can now specify whether to keep the original values of the date fields. To do this use the KeepDateFieldOriginalValue property of the WordProcessingLoadOptions class:

LoadOptionsProvider getLoadOptions = () -> {
  WordProcessingLoadOptions options = new WordProcessingLoadOptions();
  options.KeepDateFieldOriginalValue(true);
  return options;
};
try (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.docx", getLoadOptions)) {
  PdfConvertOptions options = new PdfConvertOptions();
  converter.convert("converted.pdf", options);
}

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

1. Introduced new property in class WordProcessingLoadOptions

   /**
   * Keep original value of date field. Default: false
   */
   public boolean isKeepDateFieldOriginalValue();
   
   public void setKeepDateFieldOriginalValue(boolean keepDateFieldOriginalValue);
