Sharp zoom

Zooming in now stays crisp in Continuous scroll mode, not only in single-page mode. The visible region is re-rendered at true resolution and composited over the scaled page.

New markup tools

  • Freehand — draw by hand (stored as PDF Ink annotations)
  • Highlight — snaps to the actual text via QuadPoints; falls back to the dragged rectangle when no text is under the cursor
  • Hold Shift while drawing Line / Arrow to snap to vertical, horizontal or 45°

Text search

  • Ctrl+F floating find bar: match counter (n/N), next/previous, F3 / Shift+F3, Match case, clear button, Esc to close
  • Search tab in the sidebar listing every hit with a context snippet
  • All matches highlighted in yellow, the current one in orange
  • Hits land in the correct place on rotated drawings (/Rotate is applied)

Markup is now instant

Markup no longer goes through the page raster path. Page content is rendered and cached without annotations, and annotations are painted from an in-memory model — so adding, deleting, moving or restyling markup does not re-render the page. On heavy CAD drawings this is the difference between waiting seconds and instant feedback.

Pages containing annotation types the overlay cannot draw fall back to full PDFium rendering, so nothing ever disappears silently.

Comments panel

  • Loads progressively, page by page, with a scan progress indicator
  • Selection is synchronised both ways between the page and the list
  • Clicking an entry jumps to the page, zooms to that markup (up to 200%) and selects it

Other changes

  • Undo/Redo for markup removed; right-click → Delete works with any tool active
  • Update dialog no longer auto-closes, can be dismissed, and its links are clickable
  • Version is defined in one place and shown in About
  • Windows package is ~7 MB smaller (unused Direct3D shader compiler DLLs are no longer shipped)
  • Full third-party license notices included under dist/
