Added a [WidgetEditingManager](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html) which provides APIs and events for this and a default UI has also been added. * Added the ability to [rotate point based annotations](/web/annotation/freeform-rotation.md) (line, polyline, polgyon and freehand). A new rotation control point will appear when selecting these types of annotations. It can be disabled with the [setRotationControlEnabled](/web/annotation/freeform-rotation.md#disabling-freeform-rotation) API. * Added support for automatically linkifying text inside documents that contain with text that looks like URLs. This can be disabled by calling [`docViewer.setEnableAutomaticLinking(false)`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.DocumentViewer.html#setEnableAutomaticLinking__anchor) and the current value can be read from [isAutomaticLinkingEnabled](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.DocumentViewer.html#isAutomaticLinkingEnabled__anchor). You can check if a link was automatically added by calling [`link.isAutomaticLink()`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.Link.html#isAutomaticLink__anchor). * Added a [function on tools](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Tools.AnnotationEditTool.html#setEnableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection__anchor) to immediately allow dragging of annotations on mouse down (without first selecting the annotation). * Added the ability to copy an annotation by holding alt while clicking and dragging a selected annotation * Added [annotManager.bringToFront](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.AnnotationManager.html#bringToFront__anchor) and [annotManager.bringToBack](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.AnnotationManager.html#bringToBack__anchor) to have the particular annotation be drawn on top or underneath of all other annotations * Added [Annotations.setCustomDrawHandler](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.html#.setCustomDrawHandler__anchor) to more easily customize the drawing of annotations without modifying the prototype * Added [Annotations.setCustomSerializeHandler](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.html#.setCustomSerializeHandler__anchor) and [Annotations.setCustomDeserializeHandler](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.html#.setCustomDeserializeHandler__anchor) to more easily customize the serialization of annotations without modifying the prototype * Improved the performance of loading documents with many (ten thousand or more) pages * Improved the performance of loading images directly * Added [fieldManager.updateFieldName](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.Forms.FieldManager.html#updateFieldName__anchor) which allows you to update the name of a field * Added width and height options to [loadCanvasAsync](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Document.html#loadCanvasAsync__anchor) which can be used instead of the `zoom` option to determine the output canvas size * Added the [setEnableAutoSized](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Tools.CalloutCreateTool.html#setEnableAutoSized__anchor) function on the CalloutCreateTool to allow Callout annotations to automatically resize. The auto size width can also be controlled from the [CalloutCreateTool defaults](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Tools.CalloutCreateTool.html#CalloutCreateTool__anchor) * Added [annotManager.deselectAnnotations](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.AnnotationManager.html#deselectAnnotations__anchor) which can deselect multiple annotations at once * Added [docViewer.getPageSearchResults](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.DocumentViewer.html#getPageSearchResults__anchor) which returns the search results currently found by DocumentViewer * Added the [searchResultsChanged event](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.DocumentViewer.html#event:searchResultsChanged__anchor) that is fired when the search results are updated * Added the [getStartStyle](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.PolylineAnnotation.html#getStartStyle__anchor), [setStartStyle](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.PolylineAnnotation.html#setStartStyle__anchor), [getEndStyle](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.PolylineAnnotation.html#getEndStyle__anchor) and [setEndStyle](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Annotations.PolylineAnnotation.html#setEndStyle__anchor) APIs on polyline annotations * Update FreeText autosizing so that it is maintained even after reloading the document * Added a [layersUpdated event](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Document.html#event:layersUpdated__anchor) on the Document object which is fired when layer visibility changes * Increased the default font size for FreeText and Callout annotations * Updated lodash dependency to the latest version ### Fixes * Fixed issue where signature widget in read only mode was still clickable * Fixed issue where embedded JS print function wasn't triggered properly * Fixed issue where file attachments imported without NoZoom wouldn't display in the correct location * Fixed issue where double clicking a freetext annotation where there is text underneath would select the text instead * Fixed issue where annotations weren't flagged as modified when changing the Id, PageNumber or Author * Fixed issue where `Core.Search.WHOLE_WORD` was not set correctly * Fixed issue where the `renderRect` option in [loadCanvasAsync](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.Document.html#loadCanvasAsync__anchor) wasn't working properly * Fixed issue where the eraser tool wasn't always able to erase sticky annotations * Fixed issue where the crop tool was updating the AnnotationHistoryManager stack * Fixed issue where the AnnotationHistoryManager stack wasn't being cleared when loading a new document * Fixed several inconsistencies in the TypeScript declaration file * Fixed issue where certain formats didn't work with the form field date picker * Fixed issue where FreeText annotations were not editable after rotating pages * Fixed issues with ellipse measurements not being updated in all cases * Fixed issue where signature annotations were becoming associated with signature widgets on a different page in some cases ## WebViewer UI ### New * Added a [form editing button](/web/forms/modify-fields.md) which uses the new [WidgetEditingManager APIs](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/Core.FormFieldCreationManager.html) * Added [reader mode](/web/advanced/reader-mode.md) which allows users to read documents more easily, similar to an e-book reader * Added a line connecting the comment in the notes panel with the annotation on the page when the annotation is selected. * Added an experimental [text editing button](/web/edit-page-content/text-edit.md) that allows users to edit selected text * Added handler for the embedded JavaScript print API * Added [setPrintedNoteDateFormat](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/WebViewerInstance.html#setPrintedNoteDateFormat__anchor) which sets the format for displaying the date when a note is printed * Added a `notesInLeftPanel` option to the WebViewer constructor which moves the notes panel from the right side to the left * Added a `selectAnnotationOnCreation` option to the WebViewer constructor which automatically selects annotations when they are created * Added print quality option in the print modal to allow printing at high quality * Added the [printInBackground](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/web/WebViewerInstance.html#printInBackground__anchor) API which allows you to triggering printing without opening the print modal * Added new sort and filter options for notes * Improved translations for several languages ### Fixes * Fixed issue where the menu overlay closes when hovering over text * Fixed issue where password modal does not close when error modal appears * Fixed issue where properties of buttons in the menu overlay couldn't be customized * Fixed issue where tall modals were not scrollable on small screens * Fixed missing data elements for buttons in menu overlay * Fixed issue where notes could be overlapping * Fixed issue with stroke thickness for signatures * Fixed issue where note state was not disabled in readonly mode * Fixed various styling issues --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
