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.
