LibrePDF Studio v0.2.0 Release Notes

🎨 Clean, Bright Native Desktop UI Overhaul

  • Farewell to "AI Dark/Neon Glow": Completely redesigned the visual layout from dark glowing pills into a clean, bright, professional native desktop design.
  • High-Contrast Workbench: Adopted a neutral light workbench (#eaedf1) paired with realistic physical page shadows (#ffffff canvas) for maximum readability.
  • Native OS Window Integration: System-level light title bar (#f8fafc) blending seamlessly with Windows / macOS window buttons, accompanied by a discreet Local-First badge.
  • Light Segmented Controls: Replaced oversized dark floating capsules with compact, clean rectangular segmented controls.
  • 57+ Toolbox & DAG Workflow Restyle: Replaced translucent dark popups with modern crisp cards, instant search, and light-theme node graph editor.

✍️ Fill & Sign Studio (Inspired by storytold/pdfcraft)

  • Click-to-Type Anywhere: Quickly type arbitrary text, names, amounts, or addresses on non-interactive PDFs and flat scans.
  • Instant Symbols & Date: One-click placement of checkmarks (✓), cross marks (✗), selection dots (●), and today's system date (YYYY-MM-DD).
  • Local Saved Signatures: Built-in HTML5 canvas pad with smooth stylus/mouse handwriting to draw and store personal signatures and initials in local storage.
  • Interactive Manipulation: Freely drag, reposition, and proportional-scale signatures on any page.
  • Lossless Flatten & Burn: One-click baking into the underlying PDF stream using pdf-lib vector compositing, with full Ctrl+Z undo/redo and Ctrl+S save support.

👓 Eye-Care Reading Themes

  • Multi-Mode Comfort Reading: Seamlessly switch between Default Light, Eye-Care Warm Sepia (#fbf0d9), and Night Dark Mode.
  • Hardware-Accelerated CSS Filters: Instant zero-latency switching with no PDF document re-rendering or performance degradation.

✂️ Visual Page Crop Tool

  • On-Canvas Crop Box: Drag and adjust interactive crop margins with live readouts of crop ratios (L/R/T/B) and point dimensions.
  • Lossless ISO 32000 CropBox: Crop out oversized whitespace, punch-hole borders, and scan artifacts without re-encoding or raster quality loss.

📸 Showcase Visuals

  • Updated all 4 official screenshots (workbench.png, dashboard.png, workflow.png, editor-capsule.png) to standard 16:10 aspect ratio (2522×1577) in full English interface using synthetic privacy-compliant test fixtures.
