These APIs were superseded by `TrackedChangeManager` and other internal APIs.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. * Added the `WebViewer.InitialEditModes` enum for setting initial edit modes in DOCX and Spreadsheet Editors via the constructor. #### Multi-viewer * Enabled MultiViewer and MultiTab to function concurrently. #### Notes panel * Added the ability to search and sort annotations by number in the Notes panel. * Added a new autosave comments feature with APIs to enable, disable, and configure the autosave time interval. #### Tools * Added a new `ToolGroupToggleButton` component that allows toggling the visibility of a `groupedItems` element. ### Fixes #### FreeText annotations * Fixed an issue where spell check was not appearing for free text annotations. #### General * Fixed an issue where flyout positioning would break when a header and footer were added around the viewer. * Fixed an issue where switching between different editors multiple times could show the toolbar from the previous editor. * Fixed an issue where scales created using the calibration tool would have slight rounding errors. * Fixed an issue where the chevron color in the custom scale modal was being overridden. * Fixed an issue where form field indicators could appear vertically offset from their associated form fields after recent display mode positioning changes. * Fixed an issue where the page navigation component did not appear while scrolling. #### Measurements * Fixed an issue where the measurement input value was updated while the user was still typing. #### Multi-viewer * Fixed an issue where the stamp preview would be in a bad state in the second viewer. #### Notes panel * Fixed an issue where the reply area would clear when unfocused while containing text. * Fixed an issue where annotation numbering required the Notes panel to be open to be enabled. * Fixed an issue where the raw markdown format briefly displayed when editing a comment with a mention. * Fixed an issue where clicking cancel on an edited note would clear the editor rather than discarding the edit. #### Spreadsheet Editor * Fixed an issue where renaming a sheet did not enable the undo/redo button. #### WebViewer Server * Fixed an issue where the `displayChangeTracking` option had no effect when rendering a DOCX file where tracked changes should not appear. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
