Version 5.0.0
Added
-
The PDF Viewer SDK architecture was rewritten entirely. As a result, the SDK now consists of two packages:
- PDF Viewer SDK: A production-ready SDK that lets you implement viewing and searching PDF files functionality into your application. It is built on top of the Web SDK.
- Web SDK: The functionality required by the PDF Viewer SDK and additional features that let you completely customize the SDK.
It's recommended that you try the full PDF Viewer SDK first. The PDF Viewer SDK lets you customize some functionalities. If you have specific requirements, you can implement your own PDF viewer using the Web SDK. Implementing the Web SDK allows for greater customization but requires sifnificant development effort than the full PDF Viewer SDK.
-
The PDF Viewer SDK is now working on both desktop and mobile.
-
Only the free Viewer-only version is available.
