Version 8.2.0 Changelog (2021-11-26)

WebViewer Core

New

  • Added optimizations to greatly improve speed of searching PDF files
  • Added support for annotation snap rotation when holding the shift key
  • Added optimizations to improve the speed of loading linearized PDF files
  • Added support for importing and exporting inline appearance data with XFDF
  • Added support for displaying text as justified inside a FreeText annotation using freeText.textAlign = 'justify'
  • Updated behavior so that moving an annotation to the edge of the viewport will automatically scroll the viewport
  • Added DateFreeTextCreateTool which lets the user create a FreeText annotation that is flagged as a "date" type. The default WebViewer UI will show a date picker when it is being edited.
  • Added the getDateFormat and setDateFormat APIs on FreeText annotations to determine the date format associated with them (if applicable).
  • Added setStampText and getStampText APIs for getting and setting stamp text
  • Added checkIfBaseColorsUsed option when using enableColorSeparations
  • Added enableReadOnlyMode and disableReadOnlyMode API for documentViewer
  • Added support for custom annotation appearances with WebViewer Server
  • Added Core.syncNamespaces API easily sync namespaces from multiple WebViewer instances for easier interoperability between them
  • Added disableAutoFocusOnCreate, enableAutoFocusOnCreate, and isAutoFocusingOnCreate API to the FreeTextCreateTool to allow FreeText annotations to be created by a user without autofocusing them
  • Added embeddedThumbnailComplete event which is fired when a thumbnail from a viewer optimized PDF is loaded
  • Added client side support for .jfif and .tiff files
  • Updated the appearance of "readOnly" radio buttons
  • Added new enableTextSelection, disableTextSelection, enableAutoSwitch, disableAutoSwitch, enableAnnotationHoverCursors, disableAnnotationHoverCursors, allowAnnotationsOutsidePage, and disallowAnnotationsOutsidePage APIs for controlling tools
  • Added new CROP_CANCELLED Event on CropCreateTool
  • Changed Text Annotations (eg. TextHighlightAnnotation, TextUnderlineAnnotation) to no longer store the annotated text as the annotation content by default. The annotated text is now stored as custom data with a tag "trn-annot-preview" in order to provide a more streamlined view in the notes panel, and improve the commenting flow. To revert this behaviour and store the selected text as the annotation's content, set the AUTO_SET_TEXT property to true for the TextAnnotationCreateTool.
