Known issues and limitations

Key	Summary	Workaround
OMRNET-462	Recognition of multi-page PDF and TIFF files causes an error.	Scan each page of the filled form into a separate file and recognize them one-by-one.
OMRNET-555	`Recalculate` method results in incorrect processing of ScoreGroup elements (text markup / JSON markup) and CustomAnswerSheet elements (text markup / JSON markup).	Use `RecognizeImage` method with different threshold setting instead of run-time adjustments of recognition accuracy.
n/a	If the block contains an element with absolute positioning (for example, an image), the block will be moved along with this element to an absolute position on the page.	Do not nest absolutely positioned elements. They should always be top-level elements in the form hierarchy.

This section lists all public API changes introduced in Aspose.OMR for .NET 23.3.0 that may affect the code of existing applications.

Added public APIs:

No changes.

Updated public APIs:

The following public APIs have been updated in Aspose.OMR for .NET 23.3.0:

Block element

Compatibility: fully backward compatible.

This change will not affect existing code, print forms, or recognition results.

Block element (text markup / JSON markup) has been extended with the following new properties:

Property	Type	Default behavior	Description
height	integer	The height of the block is automatically adjusted to fit the content	Limit block height (in pixels).
horizontal_padding	integer	20 pixels	Left and right padding of the block.
vertical_padding	integer	20 pixels	Top and bottom padding of the block.
overflow	`clip` `noclip` `wrap`	Inherit the page settings	How to clip and wrap elements inside the block: `noclip` - overflow content is displayed outside of the block boundaries. This can result in content overlapping with other elements or being clipped at page boundaries. `clip` - the content outside of the horizontal and vertical boundaries of the block will be invisible. `wrap` - the content that does not match the block’s bounds will automatically appear in the next column. This property overrides the `Overflow` page setting.

Block properties

Write-in element

Compatibility: fully backward compatible.

This change will not affect existing code, print forms, or recognition results.

The boolean adaptive property has been added to write-in element (text markup / JSON markup). Possible values:

false (default) - the write-in element has a fixed height, as in previous releases.
true - the write-in element takes up the remaining height of the parent container.
