Enhancements

HTML-3798 [IDRViewer] Complete UI - Added translations for Danish/Greek/Spanish/Croatian/Hungarian/Russian/Ukrainian/Simplified Chinese. Thank you to Drumlin Security for organizing this and to the individual contributors for providing translations.

HTML-3558 Added support for MPEG-2 video annotations (video will be downloaded as browsers lack playback support)

HTML-3785 [IDRViewer] Replaced all remaining var with const/let

HTML-3721 Implemented a new image downscaling algorithm providing the following benefits:

  • Fixes an issue with images containing high-alpha content being lighter than they should
  • Removes a subtle mottled effect on solid color blocks in images (e.g. white backgrounds)
  • Up to 5% reduction in overall file sizes
  • Comparable or improved image quality and conversion performance

Fixes:

HTML-3701 Removed lang attribute on <html> tags to avoid misrepresenting the language of the displayed document

HTML-3730 [IDRViewer] Fixed an issue where search result highlighting obscured highlighted text when text is transparent in SVG (OCR or shapetext modes)

HTML-3789 Updated bookmarks and GoTo annotation destinations to use the correct page metrics (dimensions) even when outside the conversion page range

HTML-3797 Fixed an issue with a bullet point displaying incorrectly caused by non-matching glyph counts in post/maxp tables in the font

HTML-3799 Fixed an issue where text with unsolvable display issues (e.g. missing mappings) could be incorrectly written out on the selection layer if it’s drawn with a pattern/texture

CORE-3933 Fixed an issue with word spacing being added to incorrect character caused by an unusual font mapping

CORE-3942 Fixed an issue when a standard font would be missing data in some forms leading to misdrawn text

CORE-3951 Fixed an issue with some text glyphs displaying incorrectly caused by an errant indirect object reference inside a font object array

CORE-3949 Fixed an issue where comments in PostScript streams were not correctly being ignored which may have caused certain content to display incorrectly
