JPDF-1177 – Document Specific: Allow for negligible differences in fonts Width Validation to be consistent with other applications and avoid validation issue “Font widths must be the same in both the font dictionary and the embedded font file”
v2017R1.09 – March 23 2018
JPDF-1166 – Support converting to PDF/A-1b and PDF/A-3b Swhen output intent is RGB but a shading is using DeviceCMYK. This resolves the issue reading “Device specific color space used in shading (DeviceCMYK)…”
