Today, we’re releasing Pipeline 9 with support for Prince 14, a major upgrade to our HTML-to-PDF conversion engine. As a reminder, to avoid any breaking changes, we never automatically upgrade your documents. Existing users will need to test and upgrade to Pipeline 9 in order to use Prince 14.
You can change your default pipeline in your account settings page or via the pipeline parameter in your API calls. Using the account setting is convenient, while the API parameter lets you test individual documents before upgrading your entire account. Pipelines often contain breaking changes, so we strongly recommend reviewing the release notes and testing your documents before changing your settings.
Some of Prince 14’s changes include:
Color emoji support
Support for CSS calc() expressions
New column and page float features
Multipass formatting with JavaScript
Custom page counters
New font-variant properties for ligatures and numeric features
OpenType shaping for Syriac script
