Web SDK Upgrades
This release introduces a refactored Form Module, delivering ultimate rendering performance, native-level appearance, and robust API capabilities. The Signature Framework has been redesigned to offer developers more flexible workflows, customizable user interface, and seamless backend integration. The upgraded PDF Action System now supports a range of new navigation-level, document-level, and PDF annotation-based actions, as well as event-driven workflows and additional action classes, making interactions with PDFs more intuitive and efficient. Enhanced features like separate control for fill/border opacity, precise text segmentation and color updates, document sanitization, and customizable viewer preferences have greatly improved usability. Check out the changelog for full information on the release.
Desktop SDK
Our desktop SDK enhances security and compliance by introducing document sanitization, thread safety mechanisms, and transparency handling. It delivers a better rendering experience with control over layers, annotations, dynamic color, screen DPI scaling, and more. The smart OCR function accelerates data extraction and stabilizes processing through direct format conversion, processing mode control, and process termination callbacks. Our PDF Optimizer now works with scanned documents and includes improved image compression, quality control, font management, and space audit. We’ve also added support for the Go programming language and expanded our architecture coverage for Python and .NET platforms to offer increased flexibility. Check out the changelog for full information on the release.
Mobile SDK
When it comes to mobile, we’ve optimized voice reader experience by allowing dynamic switching of reading languages and voice, integrated Google ML Kit for intelligent conversion of handwriting notes, and improved the ability to remove backgrounds from image signatures in complex scenarios. Check out the changelog for full information on the release.
