Explore PSPDFKit for Web 2018.4 features

PSPDFKit for Web 2018.4 adds support for shape annotations (lines, rectangles, ellipses, polylines, and polygons), blend modes, and much more.

If you’re maintaining a Server installation, be sure to check out the 2018.4 server migration guide.

This version removes the Instance#renderCover API method in favor of Instance#renderPageAsArrayBuffer. We deprecated this API in PSPDFKit 2018.2.

All covers will now contain annotations as well.
The following classes are now used for dropdowns instead of sliders:
- .PSPDFKit-Ink-Annotation-Toolbar-Opacity
- .PSPDFKit-Ink-Annotation-Toolbar-Line-Width
- .PSPDFKit-Text-Annotation-Toolbar-Opacity
- .PSPDFKit-Text-Markup-Annotation-Toolbar-Opacity
The .ColorSet class was replaced by .PSPDFKit-Input-Color-Dropdown. The color dropdowns are now separated into foreground and background color for each annotation. The combinations for the annotations are:
- Text: .PSPDFKit-Text-Annotation-Toolbar-Font-Color / .PSPDFKit-Text-Annotation-Toolbar-Background-Color
- Ink: .PSPDFKit-Ink-Annotation-Toolbar-Stroke-Color / .PSPDFKit-Ink-Annotation-Toolbar-Background-Color
The order of defaultToolbarItems was changed.
A new toolbar item for shape annotations was added to the defaultToolbarItems.
We fixed an issue with PDFs that didn’t have permissions to modify annotations and forms. These PDFs did not render any forms before.
