Connect 2018.1.5 Enhancements/Fixes
Blank page inserted in some multi-page transactional tables
(PReS Connect and PlanetPress Connect only)
Issues were encountered with some transactional print jobs, whereby a blank page would be
inserted towards the end of some multi-page transactional records. This problem would only be
encountered under very specific circumstances. Such as in duplex transactional documents
with records that exceeded 15 pages, or where two documents with page numbers in the mid
teens followed each other. These issues have now been fixed. (SHARED-64556)
Connect 2018.1.4 Enhancements/Fixes
PDF/A-1b compliance broken with Polish text
An issue was discovered with Polish text in PDF/A-1b compliant output, whereby the output
was missing "CIDSet" font descriptor entries for TrueType-based CID fonts.
This error has now been fixed. (SHARED-64536/64816)
Issues with text extraction from PDF output
Problems were encountered in extracting non-latin and multilingual text from PDF output.
These problems have now been addressed. (SHARED-64936)
Connect 2018.1.3 Enhancements/Fixes
Hyperlinks broken in PDFoutput
Hyperlinks in PDFoutput were broken in 2018.1. This issue has been fixed, and hyperlinks
now work as expected in 2018.1.3. (SHARED-64353)
Connect 2018.1.2 Enhancements/Fixes
Issues running Connect jobs through Enhance
l When running multiple parallel output channels via Enhance configurations it was
possible that some output channels could attempt to write the exact same content at the
same time, thus using the same resources. This could lead to conflicts and resulted in
errors and inconsistencies between outputs. This issue has now been fixed. (SHARED-
