Render 9 Build 10/14/2016 is Now Available

Render 9 Build 10/14/2016 is now available on the TechDoc 9 Downloads page. If you already have a Render 8 or Render 9 VM, you can update it by simply following the section called "Periodic Maintenance of the Render VM" in the Render Installation guide. The following is a list of changes from Render 9 to Render 9 Build 10/14/2016:

  • Improved PDF image quality in Word and Visio. Word and Visio were defaulting to creating screen-quality PDFs while all other applications defaulted to print-quality PDFs.
  • Improved PDF image quality in Outlook. Outlook uses Word to create PDFs from mail messages so it is affected by the improvement to Word.
  • The Render build date has been added to the Render Version Info feature to make it easy to determine exactly which build of Render is running on a VM.

Note that there are no product (Office, iGrafx, etc.) version changes from Render 9 to this release.
