Bug Fixes

The following bugs were resolved.

Bug	Description	Resolution
2	If SubsetFonts was disabled, the 3of9 barcode font was rendered as squares.	This was resolved, and the barcode font now converts as expected.
4	When font from an output PDF was copied and pasted into a Microsoft Word document, the font family changed.	Text pasted into the Microsoft Word document now uses the correct font.
2867	The Search function in the output PDF did not search through the entire document.	The Search function now searches the entire PDF.
3363	COM: When NewPrinterName was used to create a new printer, and SetPrintAsDefault was called, the Default printer was set instead of the new printer.	SetPrinterAsDefault now uses the NewPrinterName property.
3662	Configuration Manager (UI): Saving alphanumeric fields with special characters (for example, ! @ # $) caused unpredictable behavior.	Configuration Manager now allows special characters to be used in text input fields.
3741 3742 3743	When LinearizePDF or LinearizeDocument (Deprecated) was used with BeginPrintToPDF, StartPrinting, TestPrintToPDF, PSToPDF or ConvertPSToPDF, the conversion failed.	The messagebox call was removed from the Linearize functionality, and now output is generated as expected.
3746	PDF/A format: When BeginPrintToPDF or TestPrintToPDF was used with AddStampText, the output PDF was blank.	This issue was resolved and now output is generated as expected.
3962	When ConvertImageToPDF was used with ImpersonateUser, an error was returned.	Impersonation check/values were added to ConvertImageToPDF API (for both .NET and COM), and now ImpersonateUser functions as expected.
4352	COM: When using EndPrintToPDF with output paths that contained Unicode fonts, a -2 error (FileNotFound) was returned.	The HTTP response did not set the content type to text/xml, charset to UTF-8 properly. This was corrected, and file paths with Unicode characters function as expected.
4366	When an XPS file was converted with its fonts embedded, the Font Properties description in the output PDF listed the font as "Unknown".	This issue is resolved, and embedded fonts are listed as expected in the output PDF.
