Version 5.0.0 Changelog (2019-03-06)

Breaking changes

  • If WebViewer is not able to determine the type of file being loaded from the URL it will assume it is a PDF. Previously it would assume it was a XOD file.
  • Changed the default cache hinting for XOD files to NO_HINT so no extra query parameters will be added to request URLs.
  • Initial state for StatefulButton is determined by the value of the initialState property. Previously it was determined by the return value of the mount function.
  • Passing the annotation constructor function to registerTool as the second argument is required if the tool is used to create a custom annotation.

New

Updates

  • Redaction support has been greatly improved. When enableRedaction: true is passed to the WebViewer constructor the new built in redaction tool will be visible as well as a button to permanently apply the redactions. See the redaction sample to try it out.
  • Measurement annotations according to the PDF specification are now supported. Use the enableMeasurement: true construction option to display built in tool buttons. Line, polyline and polygon annotations can be added with associated measure information that will automatically recalculate when they are changed. When the document is downloaded these annotations will continue to update correctly in other viewers. See the measurement sample to try it out.
  • Signature annotations have been improved. Clicking on a signature widget will display the signature dialog. Multiple signatures are remembered in the UI and the selected signature to add will appear over the document when hovering.
  • Added support for the display of line annotation captions, leader lines and reversed arrow ending style.
  • Added various full API samples: LogicalStructureTest, PDFDiffTest, SnapToNearestTest.
  • Updated build optimization script to generate a build that works when deploying to Salesforce.
  • The loadDocument function now accepts document blobs to be loaded.
  • Added a synced three panel pixel diff sample.
  • Added the ability to print comments in the new UI.
  • The download button is now enabled for iOS devices and will open the document in a new tab, allowing it to be shared.
  • Added Dutch translation for the UI.
  • Added data-element property for the reply button in the notes panel so that it can be hidden programmatically.
  • Allow resizing of the left panel in the UI.
  • Added a zoom dropdown that allows changing the fit modes as well as a number of common zoom levels.
  • Added a marquee zoom tool that allows you to zoom into a selected rectangle.
