Version 12.0.0 Changelog (2026-07-08)

WebViewer Core

The WebViewer Core changelog covers low-level API, engine, and infrastructure changes that power the Web SDK.

New

DOCX Editor

  • Added experimental Core.compareDocx API for comparing two DOCX files.

  • Added acceptTrackedChanges and rejectTrackedChanges batch APIs to TrackedChangeManager for efficiently accepting or rejecting multiple tracked changes in a single operation.

  • Updated the trackedChangesUpdated event to fire with a (trackedChange, action) payload, where action is one of the new TrackedChangeUpdateAction enum values (ADD, MODIFY, DELETE).

  • Removed deprecated DOCX Editor public APIs that were scheduled for removal in v12.0. These APIs were superseded by TrackedChangeManager and other internal APIs.

  • Added selectTrackedChange API and trackedChangeSelected document event that enables programmatic selection of tracked changes and notification of selection state changes.

  • Added navigateToTrackedChange API to TrackedChangeManager that moves the cursor to a tracked change and scrolls it into view. Deprecated moveCursorToTrackedChange to be replaced by new API.

DocumentViewer

  • Removed deprecated DocumentViewer read-only mode APIs and the related readOnlyModeChanged event from the public DocumentViewer API.

Embedded JavaScript

  • Replaced the embedded PDF JavaScript iframe/eval runtime with a SandboxJS-based runtime for improved isolation and continued support for form events, global state, and async PDF JavaScript APIs.

FreeText

  • Moved disableEnterKeypress and enableEnterKeypress to the RichTextEditor namespace.

  • Added EditBoxManager.getEditor.

  • Updated setEditMode to no longer return a promise.

Spreadsheet Editor

  • Added support for loading XLS and CSV files.

  • Added public Chart and ChartManager APIs for programmatic chart interaction, including methods to get, select, move, and resize charts.

  • Added a changeType property to the dataChanged event that indicates the type of change.

  • Migrated Workbook and SpreadsheetEditorClipboard instances to SpreadsheetEditorManager, exposing them via getWorkbook() and getSpreadsheetEditorClipboard().

Widgets

  • Added support for rendering appearances for checkbox widgets.

  • Added support for rendering appearances for text widgets.

  • Added reason, location, and contactInfo options to Core.AnnotationManager.sign so signing apps can embed signer metadata in the signed PDF without dropping down to PDFNet.

  • Deprecated the isSignedDigitally API.

Fixes

Annotations

  • Fixed an issue where iOS-generated XFDF was not parsed correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where special characters in XFDF tag attributes and contents were not properly encoded.

DOCX Editor

  • Fixed an issue where the cursor would jump to the start of a table when selecting and changing multiple cells.

  • Fixed an issue when selecting floating tables.

  • Updated getTrackedChanges API to return tracked changes ordered by document position.

Embedded JavaScript

  • Fixed an issue where some user variables were getting reset between script runs.

Forms

  • Fixed an issue where embedded JavaScript form fields would throw a ReferenceError when their Keystroke/Format scripts referenced helpers defined in the document's Init/Open scripts.

  • Fixed an issue where the COMB option was not effective when set.

General

  • Fixed an issue where scrolling down and removing page ranges in large documents caused console errors.

Measurements

  • Fixed an issue where the previous scale's precision was applied to the current scale.

  • Fixed an issue where distance measurements in fractional-foot format could display incorrect comma placement for values of 100 ft or greater.

Signatures

  • Fixed an issue where signing a signature widget would fail when a non-signature widget overlapped at the same location.

Spreadsheet Editor

  • Fixed an issue where undoing sheet deletion showed charts on the wrong sheet.

  • Fixed an issue where undo didn't work after renaming a sheet.

  • Fixed an issue where chart resizing caused inconsistent size changes.

  • Fixed an issue where chart selection handles would become offset from the chart after zooming and switching sheets.

  • Fixed an issue where deleting the active sheet would not render charts on the new sheet correctly.

  • Fixed an issue where the canvas of a selected chart would sometimes appear behind other charts during move or resize operations.

Text selection

  • Fixed an issue where search highlights and text selection rectangles could appear on incorrect glyphs for right-to-left (RTL) and bidirectional text in XOD and Office documents.

Workers

  • Fixed an issue where workers could remain alive after WebViewer was unmounted, causing remounting to fail to initialize workers again.

WebViewer UI

The WebViewer UI changelog covers user interface, customization, and workflow enhancements available through the Web SDK.

New

General

  • Added a new theme constructor option to allow setting the theme when constructing WebViewer.
