[Issue] Fixed an issue where some characters in HTML files were corrupted when using the tools.wkhtmltopdf.iframe.disabled=true parameter. The regression has been corrected to prevent character corruption.
[Issue] The Popup for Differences is shown when the user puts the mouse onto a difference (see a screenshot below).
Case 1: Disable Popup for Differences
When the document.comparison.include.diff-fragments=false property is set, the comparison feature remains enabled, but the sub-feature showing a popup on hover (which displays removed text in red and added text in green) is disabled. This prevents crashes or errors when comparing documents with a large number of differences.
Case 2: Enable Popup for Differences
When the document.comparison.include.diff-fragments=true property is set, the hover popup is enabled and works correctly for small documents with limited differences. For documents with a high number of differences, performance has been optimized to minimize memory usage and avoid errors.
[Issue] Annotations created in ARender V3 for .tif documents now appear correctly sized when opened in ARender V4 or V2023. Downloaded PDFs with annotations maintain proper font sizes for sticky notes and free text annotations.
[Issue] Resolved an issue where PDFA conversion returned a fake 200 OK status code during socket timeouts. Now, such cases will correctly return a 500 status code.
[Issue] Fixed an issue where sticky note text created in V3 and imported into V4 via XFDF file disappeared in downloaded or printed documents. All annotations, including textual ones, are now correctly displayed.
