PDFreactor 12.4 now available

A release for PDFreactor 12 is now available.

Certain combinations of border styles can cause conversions to terminate with exceptions when they have a conformance set that disallows semi-transparency. (#9648)
In rare cases, two floats surrounded by text near a page break can cause exceptions. (#9695)
A large number of inline elements without any line break opportunity between them may cause errors. (#9630)
In some cases grid layouts inside multi-column or region layouts may overflow instead of breaking onto the next page. (#9663)
JavaScript optional chaining (the ?. operator) is not supported for all objects, which breaks Highcharts 12.2 and newer. (#9688)
The property -ro-pdf-tag-type has no effect on page floats. (#9678)
Footnote and sidenote markers may erroneously create nested Lbl tags in tagged PDFs. (#9655)
Unlike form fields, signature fields do not receive an alternative name (TU) entry from -ro-alt-text or ARIA attributes. (#9480)
Raster Image Output
- Rotating images, via the CSS properties transform or -ro-image-orientation, may cause them to be rendered incorrectly. (#9653)

JavaScript processing now supports ECMAScript 2025.
Note: Java 20 or newer is required for ECMAScript 2025 support. Using Java 17-19 automatically disables ECMAScript 2025 features. (#9688)
