Release version: 11.0 Beta 2

Release date: 27th October 2025

Introduction

This page describes the new features in Lasernet 11.0 Beta 2.

Note

Release notes for this Lasernet release are available.

New Features

Lasernet 11 focuses on refining core functionalities, improving performance, and delivering a better user experience. It includes various updates to Lasernet Core functionalities and the Form Editor.

PDF/UA Compliance

PDF/UA stands for Portable Document Format / Universal Accessibility. PDF/UA-compliant documents make content readable by assistive technologies, such as screen readers, so that a computer can read it aloud to the user.

This iteration will include the ability to:

• Include PDF/UA tagging and structure trees in EMF-based PDFs.

  • Automated PDF/UA tagging includes absolute and conditional rearranges, text labels, conditional areas, and patterns.

• Use controls in Lasernet Form Editor to change the reading order of text, rearranges, and other elements in the structure tree.

• Add alt text to images. Alt text for an image is a description that explains what the image shows. A screen reader will read this alternative text instead of the image.

For more information, see Configure PDF Output.

Important

PDF/UA compliance for Lasernet is being developed in an iterative way; Lasernet 10.11 is the first step of that process. As a result, the PDF/UA functionality in this version of Lasernet does not deliver full compliance with PDF/UA. However, this functionality is provided to enable wider testing and feedback, which will help us with our continuous improvement program to increase compliance in subsequent releases.

Kubernetes Pod Scaling

Lasernet now has the ability to scale across multiple pods, bringing the ability to auto-scale polling input modules.

Currently, this only supports the File Input module, but later versions of the Beta will expand the scope to include more polling input modules.

The File Input module can identify when it is running in a Kubernetes environment and synchronise file access between pods, preventing multiple pods from accessing the same resources.
