Fixes
- PDF Standards
- PDF/A-1 conversion: Adjust or remove annotations: Setting for transparent objects extended to flatten those objects directly into page content [CA1028938; CA1030263]
- Predefined Process plans
- Check and fix bleed: Minor adjustment to cover smooth shade objects [FP64367]
- Fixups
- Downsample/recompress images: Problem solved, where processing was hanging in some special cases [FP64608]
- Downsample/recompress images: Issue fixed, where file size increased if executed together with "Remove invisible image data" [CA1030417]
- Generate bleed:
- Problems solved, where bleed was not properly rendered for pages with UserUnits [CA1030575]
- Problem solved, where objects on invisible layers were not ignored [CA1030382]

- Problem solved, where bleed as mirrored page objects were not properly created for pages with UserUnits when "except spot" was used [CA1030575]
- Set page scaling factor: Problem solved, where an already existing page scaling factor (UserUnit) was taken into account [CA1030600; FP64657]
- Embed Output Intent with specified parameters: Issue fixed, where the ICC profile could not be selected from the file system via a Variable in the Desktop version [FP64093]
- Adjust dot gain: Issue fixed, where the .crv file could not be selected from the file system via a Variable in the Desktop version [CA1030395]
- Map colors / Convert colors: Problem solved, where vector objects were converted in special cases, although not in scope [CA1030353; CA1030416; FP64549]
- Scale pages: Adjusted handling of page scaling factors (UserUnits), which will now be set to 1 if the resulting size does not require this entry [FP63218]
- Scale pages / Scale page content only: Added "Apply to" filter (e.g. for page ranges) and made multiple configurable [FP34704; FP46026; FP49227; FP53742; FP61585]
- Spotify: Problem solved, where using the "Browse" button in the ask-at-runtime dialog for the spot color library resulted in an error
- Create bookmarks from headings: Issue, fixed, where bookmark hierarchy was wrong after processing in certain cases
- Map spot and process colors: Problem solved, where spot color using indexed DeviceN with "None" colorants became invisible, although not in scope [FP63166]
- Convert fonts to outlines: Problem solved, where processing resulted in an error if Type3 font was used in a certain manner [CA1030526]

- Set page geometry boxes (based on page content): Issue fixed, where TrimBox was not set correctly if UserUnits were used [FP64252]
- Remove objects: Adjusted recognition for objects grouped by FormXObjects to ensure only objects used once are removed (e.g. if outside CropBox) [CA1029102; CA1029653]
- Remove objects: Problem solved, where combined fill and stroke vector objects were not properly handled [CA1028805]
- Checks
- Names of (process) plates / spot color plates: Issue fixed, where settings in lists were not properly handled [FP63968]

- Object is invisible: Issue fixed, where an object was falsely flagged as invisible [FP51352; FP55212]
- Ignore objects outside ...: Issue solved, where clipped parts of objects were taken into account [FP64182]
- Effective ink coverage for separated plates: Adjusted behavior of operators: "less than / less than or equal to" will ignore 0%, while "highest value is less than / highest value is less than or equal" will consider 0%
- Find barcodes: Problem solved, where a barcode could not be found in certain cases [CA1030536]
- Process plans
- Optimized execution of a generic post check as the last step only in cases when a report etc. is requested

- Save as image: Problem solved, where rendering to MultiChannel using the MediaBox resulted in a failure in some cases [CA1023759]
- Save as image: Problem solved, where rendering was not successful if a certain size was chosen [FP35113; FP60074; CA1030412]
- QuickFix: Problem solved, where setting the page geometry boxes with 2 settings was not successful [FP64213; FP64503]
- QuickCheck: Issue solved, where stopping processing after the defined timeout took rather long [CA1029997]
- ToPDF: Issue fixed, where certain structures in a TIFF file could result in extremely long processing time and an exhausting cache folder [CA1030656]

- Desktop
- Problem solved, where Checks could not be edited or created in the Japanese user interface [FP64730]
