WebViewer Core

New

Added new ArcCreateTool and ArcMeasurementCreateTool to allow users to create Arc annotations
Added an indicator that is displayed when snapping is enabled for the current tool or selected annotation that indicates the point that will be snapped to when adding or modifying the annotation. AnnotationManager.setSnapDefaultOptions allows you to change the indicator size, color and snapping threshold.
Added DistanceMeasurementCreateTool.setLeaderLineDefaultOptions to control whether leader lines are enabled, whether they should be created by default and what their length should be when annotations are created using the tool.

Added support for editing, adding and removing links when in content editing mode

Added isSmoothScroll parameter to DocumentViewer.setCurrentPage for scrolling the viewer smoothly when setting the current page
Updated the DistanceMeasurementCreateTool behavior so that annotations created will not have their text displayed upside down.
Added new API Core.enableWorkerLogs to turn on PDF worker logs which can be useful for debugging issues
Added new API Document.setTextExtractorProcessingFlags which lets you change the way the text is processed and extracted from the document
Added support for automatically setting the filename of the document if the Content-Disposition header was set
