🛠️ Fix for PDF Display Issues

[Issue] ARender was not displaying certain types of PDF files correctly. The issue was due to the PDFs not fully complying with the PDF standard. We added code to handle this corner case, ensuring all PDF files are displayed properly.

✏️ Annotations Display Fix

[Issue] Annotations created in version 3.1.10-1 were not displayed in version 4.8.17. These annotations appeared in the annotation browser but were not rendered graphically due to a font size issue. Annotations with a font size of "small" were not supported in 4.8.17. We have fixed this by converting "small" to "13px", ensuring all annotations are now displayed correctly.

Known issues

  • DirectOffice optional third party is not compatible with the Linux Rendition installer.
  • Redaction feature: we recommend updating to version 2023 to use this feature as we have detected in version 4 some issues with the download with redaction when documents were rotated.
