Responsive UI PDF viewer

The mobile web viewer UI now comes with the same features as users on a desktop. The menu style is smartly designed in a ribbon format and adjusts in accordance with the device screen size. Tablets with a viewport width are <=768 x <1024 pixels whereas phones are <=320 x <768 pixels. Menu items like annotation undo/redo & XFDF export, shortcut keys, enhancements to web browser performance, text rendering, editing, permission control, search, and rotate have been implemented.

Annotation Data Compatibility

Annotations have received an upgrade in version 7.1. We’ve made JSON and XFDF attribute names consistent to make it easier to use our SDK. We also provide an API to map JSON data between version 6.x and 7.x, so you can continue to use your JSON data in 7.x. There’s added support for XFDF richtext to extend the data processing compatibility across different viewer software.

 

AngularJS Support

AngularJS is now supported by PDF SDK for Web! You can now view PDFs in AngularJS in just a few short minutes. By integrating our SDK with Angular, you can create your own easy to build web apps with a robust tool set in this growing and well supported framework.

 

More JavaScript Action Support

Action types added include GoToR, a remote go-to action similar to an ordinary go-to action but instead jumps to a destination in another PDF instead of the current one.

With GoToE (go to embedded), a PDF may be embedded in another file. Comments are now also attachable, and can be a name tree in the name dictionary. Inline files may also contain embedded files.

In addition, there’s added support for loading local documents, opening web links, submitting forms, resetting forms, importing data and executing JavaScript.
