• EmbedAnyFile: The EmbedAnyFile method enables you to attach a file to a PDF document. Refer to the"Attaching Files using Toolkit's EmbedAnyFile Method" article for detailed information on using this method.

• FIX: The script engine hangs when MergeFile encounters an input PDF that displays the following error in a PDF viewer: "There was a problem reading this document (23)." The script engine now returns an error code when the PDF cannot be read.
  
  
• FIX: Document-specific. During a CopyForm operation, a System.OutOfMemoryException / System.AccessViolation error is returned. CopyForm now operates as expected, without returning the system errors.
  
  
• FIX: Document-specific. After a MergeFile operation, the output PDF returns the following error message in a PDF viewing application: “There was a problem reading this document (110)." This same error occurs on specific documents after a CopyForm operation. MergeFile and CopyForm both perform as expected, and the output files can be opened in a PDF viewer without error.
  
  
• FIX: Adding a digital signature to an encrypted PDF results in corruption of the signature. Encrypted files can be digitally signed without corruption of the signature. The PDF document must be encrypted first, and then digitally signed.
  
  
• FIX: In certain PDF files, existing bookmarks in the input file are lost after Toolkit operations. Subsequently, when the output PDF file is opened the bookmark index pane is empty. Bookmarks are not lost during Toolkit processing.
  
  
• FIX: Document-specific. CopyForm produces corrupted PDF, resulting in an error when attempting to close the output file. CopyForm now performs as expected, without producing a corrupted PDF.
  
  
• FIX: CloseOutputFile crashes when OutputLinearized is true AND SetOutputSecurity is applied. CloseOutputFile now performs as expected with files having both security and linearization applied.
  
  
• FIX: When SetOutputSecurity is used, the output file returns an error “An unrecognized token '?' was found” when opened in a PDF viewer. SetOutputSecurity performs as expected, and the output file can be opened in a PDF viewer without error.
  
  
• FIX: Setting OutputLinearized = true results in a corrupted output file. OutputLinearized performs as expected, and the output file can be opened in a PDF viewer without error.
  
  
• FIX: SetHeaderImage yields an output PDF that does not contain a header image. When the file is opened in a PDF viewer, the following error is displayed: "Could not find the XObject named '%s'." SetHeaderImage performs as expected: the output file contains the header image and can be opened without error.
  
  
• FIX: Document-specific. CopyForm crashes using a specific input file, due to the stream ending prematurely with an endobj. Toolkit now traps the endobj correctly and processes it, and CopyForm concludes successfully without crashing.

• FIX: Allows the forced embedding of a font. Example, formerly when setting the font to "Arial" TK would confirm that the font has been fully embedded or it would subsitute the build in Helvetical font. Now if the the option "useOSFont" is used with SetFont or SetHeaderFont, the font on disk is used. For example:
  
  TK.SetFont "arial|useOSFont", 24
