Simplified the way mails are configured for the merged “Header and Content” setup:
→ rendition.backend.mailFactory=mailFactory is the default, pdf generating factory from mails documents. It will produce a pdf with a header and a body of the mail page, followed by the attachements.
→ rendition.backend.mailFactory=mergedMailFactory is the new, pdf generating factory from mails documents. It will produce a pdf with a header and a body of the mail merged in the first page, followed by the attachements.

<list>
<value>../samples</value>
</list>
</property>
Obfuscation (rendition side) :
→ Pages where an obfuscation has been done will now have their text removed in order to ensure a reliable obfuscation of the text at the download of the document with annotations. → This can be switched off with the parameter obfuscate.deleteText=false from the arender-rendition.properties file.
