Major Features

New GetDocumentInfo method

Along with new API, GroupDocs.Editor contains new GetDocumentInfo method, that allows to get metainfo about the input document without editing it:

• Family format and exact document format.
• Encryption flag.
• Number of pages/tabs.
• Size.

New text save options

All previous versions of GroupDocs.Editor don’t contain specialized options, responsible for saving edited document in plain text format — in order to do this user should use WordProcessing save options, which don’t allow to configure parameters while saving into text. This 19.9 version of GroupDocs.Editor contains new TextSaveOptions class, that is responsible especially for saving edited document to the plain text format. TextSaveOptions class contains the next new settings:

• Ability to specify whether to add bi-directional marks before each BiDi run when exporting in plain text format.
• Ability to specify whether the program should attempt to preserve layout of tables when saving in the plain text format.

Public API and Backward Incompatible Changes

New GetDocumentInfo method

The new Editor class, which supersedes deprecated EditorHandler, contains a new instance method GetDocumentInfo with the next signature:

public IDocumentInfo GetDocumentInfo(string password)

Once the document was loaded into the Editor class, this method can be called to obtain metainfo about the loaded document without actual opening it for editing.

New TextSaveOptions class

The Options namespace now contains a new TextSaveOptions class, that is responsible for saving EditableDocument with edited document content to the plain text format. It has the next signature:

/// <summary>
/// Allows to specify custom options for generating and saving plain text (TXT) documents
/// </summary>
public sealed class TextSaveOptions : ISaveOptions
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Character encoding of the text document, which will be applied for its saving
    /// </summary>
    public System.Text.Encoding Encoding { get; set; }
 
    /// <summary>
    /// Specifies whether to add bi-directional marks before each BiDi run when exporting in plain text format
    /// </summary>
    public bool AddBidiMarks { get; set; }
 
    /// <summary>
    /// Specifies whether the program should attempt to preserve layout of tables when saving in the plain text format. The default value is false.
    /// </summary>
    public bool PreserveTableLayout { get; set; }
}
