-
Right to left languages support: Adaptive Forms built on Core Components can now be presented in a Right-to-Left (RTL) language like Arabic, Persian, and Urdu. The RTL languages are spoken by over 2 billion people globally. Using a form in RTL language allows you to extend the reach of your adaptive forms to cater to these diverse audiences and tap into RTL markets. In certain regions, it’s also a legal mandate to provide forms in the local language. By accommodating local languages, you not only open doors to a broader audience but also ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations.
-
Protect your documents with DocAssurance APIs (Part of Communication APIs): The DocAssurance APIs empower you to safeguard sensitive information by signing and encrypting the documents. Through encryption, the contents of a document are transformed into an unreadable format, ensuring that only authorized users can gain access. This fortified layer of protection not only shields valuable data from unauthorized eyes but also provides peace of mind. The Signature APIs let your organization protect the security and privacy of Adobe PDF documents that it distributes and receives. This service uses digital signatures and certification to ensure that only intended recipients can alter documents.

WAF Traffic Filter Rules Can Now Be Licensed cdn-waf-license
Traffic Filter Rules were released in October, and included a note that the special category of Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules would be available later this year to supplement the rules already available to Sites and Forms customers. As an update, the WAF-DDoS Protection offering can now be licensed.
Once licensed, these advanced WAF rules can be deployed to the CDN using the Cloud Manager Configuration Pipeline to add an extra layer of protection against web attacks.
Read about Traffic Filter Rules, including WAF. Speak to your AEM account team about licensing WAF-DDoS Protection or Enhanced Security.
CDN Configuration Early Adopter Program cdn-config-early-adopter
In addition to the recently released Traffic Filter Rules (including WAF), there’s an opportunity to use the Configuration Pipeline to declare and deploy other types of CDN configuration. We’d love to hear about your use cases, including:
- 301/302 client-side redirects
- proxying requests at the edge to arbitrary origins
- URL transformations
- setting or modifying request or response headers
- custom error pages when the CDN can’t reach AEM
- authentication by username/password
- any other useful CDN configurations
