Version 7.1.0 Changelog (2020-09-21)

WebViewer Core

New

• Form fields can now be edited directly inside the document. Added a WidgetEditingManager which provides APIs and events for this and a default UI has also been added.
• Added the ability to rotate point based annotations (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 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) and the current value can be read from isAutomaticLinkingEnabled. You can check if a link was automatically added by calling link.isAutomaticLink().
• Added a function on tools 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 and annotManager.bringToBack to have the particular annotation be drawn on top or underneath of all other annotations
• Added Annotations.setCustomDrawHandler to more easily customize the drawing of annotations without modifying the prototype
• Added Annotations.setCustomSerializeHandler and Annotations.setCustomDeserializeHandler 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 which allows you to update the name of a field
• Added width and height options to loadCanvasAsync which can be used instead of the zoom option to determine the output canvas size
• Added the setEnableAutoSized function on the CalloutCreateTool to allow Callout annotations to automatically resize. The auto size width can also be controlled from the CalloutCreateTool defaults
• Added annotManager.deselectAnnotations which can deselect multiple annotations at once
• Added docViewer.getPageSearchResults which returns the search results currently found by DocumentViewer
• Added the searchResultsChanged event that is fired when the search results are updated
• Added the getStartStyle, setStartStyle, getEndStyle and setEndStyle APIs on polyline annotations
