Only applications that need camera capture functionality need to load this module. * **Annotation plugin** (`annotation.js`): All annotation-related functionality is now packaged independently. If your application doesn't require annotation editing, you can omit this module to reduce the overall bundle size. Note that if the annotation plugin is not loaded, annotation-related UI elements in the viewer configuration will be automatically ignored when creating the viewer. * **Image PDF parser plugin** (`image-pdf.js`): A new lightweight PDF parsing plugin for loading pure image-based (JPEG and JBIG2) PDFs without the overhead of the full PDF rendering engine. Combined with the newly added support for saving image-based PDFs in the default JavaScript, you can now handle image PDF workflows end-to-end without the PDF WASM module. Note that if you need to process PDFs containing vector graphics or require annotation features, the full PDF WASM module will be automatically loaded when needed. ### WASM Splitting & On-Demand Loading The default image IO WASM module has been split to improve load times and reduce memory usage: * **PDF** and **TIFF** modules are now separated from the core image IO WASM module, leaving the core module with only common image format support and licensing functions. * These format-specific WASM modules are loaded **on demand** — only when your application actually needs to process TIFF or PDF files. * For pure image-based PDFs, you can use the lightweight [Image PDF parser plugin](#modular-feature-packages) instead, eliminating the need to load the full PDF WASM module. * This significantly reduces the initial download size, especially for camera-based document scanning scenarios where TIFF/vector PDF processing may not be needed. ### Removed * Removed `CustomViewer`. * Removed the dependency of [dynamsoft-core](https://www.npmjs.com/package/dynamsoft-core). ### Other Improvements * Improved the alignment setting of text and redaction annotations by remembering the applied alignment via UI. * Improved the speed of [`loadSource()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md#loadsource). * Improved the rendering of text annotations. * Updated third-party libraries to enhance security. ## 4.0 (04/21/2026) ### New Features * Added support for [redaction annotation](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/features/datamanagement/annotmanagement.md#redaction). * Changed PDF rendering mode to high-fidelity rendering. ### API Changes * Added redaction-related interfaces: [`Redaction`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/redaction.md), [`RedactionAnnotationOptions`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/redactionannotationoptions.md), [`RedactionStyle`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/redactionstyle.md), [`applyRedactions()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotationmanager.md#applyredactions). * Added redaction-related UI elements. * Added `printPreparation` to progress info and renamed attribute `current` to `processed` for `LoadSourceInfo` and `SaveSourceInfo`. See [`InfoObject`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/infoobject.md). ### Improvements Updated third-party libraries to enhance security. ### Bug Fixes * Fixed loading of interlaced PNGs. * Fixed loading of some non-standard PDFs with redundant trailing data. ## 3.2.1 (03/10/2026) Updated third-party libraries to enhance security. ## 3.2 (01/13/2026) ### Improvements * Improved the context of search results, which now display the word before the searched word. * Improved the rendering of selected annotations by reducing the number of items to draw. * Improved the performance of selecting multiple annotations. * Added a consistency check between the JavaScript and resource file versions. * Added support for pinch-to-zoom under `textSelection` mode of `EditViewer` for mobile. * Updated third-party libraries to enhance security. ### Bug Fixes Fixed the text overflow issue in custom stamps. ## 3.1 (10/16/2025) ### UX Changes For Edit Viewer: * Added support for panning images in `textSelection` mode. * Text markup annotations can be modified after being cropped. * Return to `pan` mode if `textSelection` mode is turned off on mobile by clicking the icon. * Added support for returning to `pan` mode by pressing ESC. For Edit Viewer and Browse Viewer: When the cursor is around the viewer's edges when selecting text or dragging the thumbnails, auto-scrolling will be triggered. It can be configured using the [`enableAutoScrollForTextSelection`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/editviewerconfig.md#enableautoscrollfortextselection) property for Edit Viewer and the [`enableAutoScrollForDragPages`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/browseviewerconfig.md#enableautoscrollfordragpages) property for Browse Viewer. ### API Changes Added interfaces for better UI customizability. * [`getAnnotationDrawingStyle()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#getannotationdrawingstyle) method for Edit Viewer * [`undoRedoStateChanged`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#undoredostatechanged) event for Edit Viewer * [`annotationDrawingStyleChanged`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#annotationdrawingstylechanged) event for Edit Viewer * [`scroll`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#scroll) event for Edit Viewer and Browse Viewer * [`paginationChanged`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#paginationchanged) event for all the viewers * [`cropMode`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#cropmode) property for Edit Viewer. The [`crop()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#crop) method of Edit Viewer will choose which images to crop based on the `cropMode` if no image indices are passed. ### Improvements * Increased the FPS of rendering documents, especially documents with lots of pages. * Optimized the performance of `updateOptions()`. * Moved the magnifier into a separate layer to improve the performance and avoid being blocked. ### Bug Fixes * Fixed a bug where changes of the layout will reset the position of the current document page to its top-left. * Fixed a bug where the text is shifted if the PDF's media box has shifts. ## 3.0 (07/08/2025) ### Features Highlights * Added support for text selection. We can now copy and annotate selected text. * Added three text markup annotations: `highlight`, `strikeout` and `underline`. * Added support for text search. ### API Changes * Added classes for text markup annotations. * [`Highlight`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/highlight.md) * [`Underline`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/underline.md) * [`Strikeout`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/strikeout.md) * Added interfaces to set up text markup annotations. * [`HighlightAnnotationOptions`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/highlightannotationoptions.md) * [`UnderlineAnnotationOptions`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/underlineannotationoptions.md) * [`StrikeoutAnnotationOptions`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/strikeoutannotationoptions.md) * [`HighlightStyle`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/highlightstyle.md) * [`UnderlineStyle`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/underlinestyle.md) * [`StrikeoutStyle`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/strikeoutstyle.md) * [`RectXY`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/rectxy.md) * Added new [tool mode](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#toolmode) for `EditViewer`: `textSelection`. * Added new [annotation modes](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#annotationmode) for `EditViewer`: `highlight`, `strikeout` and `underline`. * Added new buttons in [`ToolbarConfig`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/toolbarconfig.md): `copy`, `highlight`, `strikeout` and `underline`. * Added new [elements](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/ui/default_elements.md) for `EditViewer`: * TextSelectionMode * TextSearchPanelSwitch * TextSearchPanel * HighlightAnnotation * UnderlineAnnotation * StrikeoutAnnotation * Added text selection and search methods and events for [`EditViewer`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md). * Added an [`IDocTextSearcher`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/idoctextsearcher.md) interface that can be created using [`createTextSearcher()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md#createtextsearcher) of [`IDocument`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md). * Added [`isPageModified()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md#ispagemodified) method to detect whether a page has been modified. * Added [`getVisiblePagesInfo()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#getvisiblepagesinfo) for viewers. * Added new events for viewers. * Updated [`IPageData`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/ipagedata.md) to use Promise functions for computing-intensive operations. * Updated [`updatePage()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md#updatepage) to allow updating a page with PDF page content that has annotations. * Updated [`addFonts()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/namespace/ddv.md#static-addfonts) to return an array of the names of added fonts. * Updated [`DisplayTextConfig`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/displaytextconfig.md) for new elements. * Removed the options parameter of [`getDefaultUiConfig()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/namespace/ddv.md#static-getdefaultuiconfig). ### Improvements * Fixed the ineffective quality parameter of [`saveToJpeg()`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/idocument/index.md#savetojpeg) if a page is unmodified. * Improved cursor styles. * Improved the performance of resaving a large PDF file. ## 2.1 (12/03/2024) Version 2.1 of Dynamsoft Document Viewer comes with a suite of exciting new features, improvements to existing features, and performance optimizations. Dynamsoft Document Viewer now comes with **massively improved performance** for working with huge documents with a large number of high resolution images. Users can expect to load, edit, annotate, and export massive documents with ease. ### New Features - Added `enableMagnifier`, which provides a corner magnifier in the [Edit Viewer](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/editviewerconfig.md#enablemagnifier) and [Perspective Viewer](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/perspectiveviewerconfig.md#enablemagnifier). This magnifier creates a zoomed-in view of the selected area to allow for more precise adjustments on touchscreen devices. - Added keyboard shortcuts for document management. These shortcuts are controlled by [`KeyboardInteractionConfig`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/keyboardinteractionconfig.md). All shortcuts are available for the Edit Viewer, and only the navigation and page selection shortcuts are available for the Browse Viewer: - Undo/redo - Copy/cut/paste - Annotation/page selection - Scrolling/navigation - Cancel/delete - Added drag-and-drop image loading with the new `enableLoadSourceByDrag` configuration property for the [Edit](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/editviewerconfig.md#enableloadsourcebydrag), [Browse](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/browseviewerconfig.md#enableloadsourcebydrag), and [Perspective](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/perspectiveviewerconfig.md#enableloadsourcebydrag) Viewers (enabled by default). - The new [`setAnnotationDrawingStyle`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/editviewer.md#setannotationdrawingstyle) method can now be used when creating annotations to set its default drawing style, for example, to set a custom image to use as the default stamp annotation. - Added the following flags to restrict annotation editing actions: [`noResize`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/flags.md#noresize), [`noRotate`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/flags.md#norotate), [`noMove`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/annotationinterface/flags.md#nomove). These flags are preserved when saving to PDF, and respected when importing into DDV from PDF. - Added a [`flattened`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/rectangle.md#flattened) property getter/setter to annotation objects, which flattens the **individual** annotation onto the base image layer. This behavior is also preserved upon saving to PDF. For example, a rectangle annotation may be flattened with [`Rectangle.flattened = true`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/class/annotation/rectangle.md#flattened). - Added informative task progression messaging using [`InfoObject`](https://www.dynamsoft.com/document-viewer/docs/api/interface/infoobject.md) for event listening. `InfoObject` provides different details for different types. ### Improvements - Improved general performance. - Added support for processing much larger documents (over 1000 pages).
