Foxit Developer

Foxit PDF SDK for Web 10.0.0 ​

Release date: June 28, 2024

Breaking changes ​

  • Bookmark module refactor significantly improves bookmark load performance.
  • ASM.JS engine support is fully removed. Safari versions below 11 are no longer supported.

Enhancements ​

  • WASM library loading changed from static to dynamic. The dynamic library consists of a main module and side modules; only the main module loads initially, and side modules load on demand to optimize memory.

  • Advanced editor text editing and Add Text tool improvements support global undo/redo and custom fonts.

  • Simple PDF 3D model rendering and viewing.
  • Support creating multiple signatures via shared /V dictionary.
  • New PDFPage::changeAnnotOrder() API and UI to change annotation stacking order.
  • New activeMultipleAnnotations event for selecting multiple annotations or form controls.
  • New Annot::setCustomAPStream() to set annotation appearance streams.
  • New PDFViewer constructor option [options.customs.syncTextScaling=false] to control whether text boxes and Callout annotations scale with the container.
  • New FormFieldImported event after data import completes.
  • New setFileSpec() and getFileSpec() to set launch actions programmatically.
  • New PDFViewer::registerMultimediaPlayers() to embed custom players for supported media formats.
  • New PDFDoc APIs to add and remove layers programmatically:
    • addLayerNode
    • removeLayerNode
    • addLayerGraphicObject
    • removeLayerGraphicObject

API changes ​

  • PDFDoc.sign() updated with signInfo.shareVDictType for shared /V dictionary; signInfo.pageIndex and signInfo.rect now support array values.
