PDF Document Rendering

The Ibex library, which Blueriq uses to render PDF documents, has dropped its support for Java. In response to the dropped support, we introduced a Document Rendering Service based on the .NET Core implementation of the Ibex library. By doing so, customers are able to use their existing document stylesheets to generate documents. Because .NET Core is platform independent, customers can run the new service on an OS of their choice. The Blueriq Runtime communicates with the Document Renderer Service through the Document Renderer Client component.

The Document Renderer Service will be enabled by default in Blueriq 14.11. We advice to switch to the new service in this release, as the old embedded document renderer will be removed in Blueriq 15. Please follow our migration guide when switching to the new Document Renderer Service.

If you wish to keep using the deprecated embedded document renderer, you can do so by ensuring that the document-renderer-client profile is not enabled.
