Version 5
Version 5.0.0
Added
-
The PDF Viewer SDK architecture was rewritten entirely. As a result, the SDK now consists of two packages:
- PDF Web Viewer: An SDK that lets you implement PDF viewer capabilities with search.
- PDF Web SDK: The functionality required by the PDF Web Viewer and additional features that let you completely customize the SDK.
It's recommended that you try the PDF Web Viewer first. The PDF Web Viewer lets you customize some functionalities. If you have specific requirements, you can implement your own PDF viewer using the PDF Web SDK. Implementing the PDF Web SDK lets you create a customized viewer from scratch but requires more development effort than the full PDF Viewer SDK.
-
The PDF Web Viewer is now working on both desktop and mobile.
-
Only the free Viewer-only version is available.
