Web PDF Viewer
Erase ink annotations
The PDF Viewer supports an ink eraser tool, allowing users to remove portions of ink annotations. The tool is available contextually when working with ink and can also be enabled programmatically.
Filter annotation comments
A new filtering option in the comments panel allows users to narrow down annotations based on specific criteria. For improved context, filtered results can also be visually indicated within the document, making it easier to focus on relevant annotations during review.
Improved annotation download
Significant improvements have been made to annotation processing during document downloads. Performance has increased by up to 92% for documents with more than 30 annotations and by around 35% for smaller documents. This provides quicker downloads and a more responsive experience when working with annotated PDFs.
The following table shows the annotation download performance before and after optimization.
| Scenario | Previous performance | Current performance |
|---|---|---|
| Document with 1 annotation (updating 1 annotation) | 24.88 ms | 19.63 ms |
| Document with 30 annotations (updating 1 annotation) | 54.53 ms | 26.72 ms |
| Document with 400 annotations (updating 1 annotation) | 1,649.25 ms | 152.79 ms |
