Changelog

All notable changes to PDFedits are documented here. Format follows Keep a Changelog, and versions follow Semantic Versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH) — during v1, expect 0.1.x patch releases for fixes and small additions, with 0.x.0 reserved for larger feature drops.

[0.1.2] — 2026-08-12

Fixed

  • .pdfedits project files failing to reopen. Save/open now go through Tauri's native dialog + filesystem plugins instead of a browser-style download link, which didn't reliably work inside the Tauri webview (especially on Linux/WebKitGTK). Added the capabilities/default.json permission grant this requires.
  • Properties panel not appearing after editing existing PDF text. The newly edited text is now auto-selected the moment you finish typing, so font/color/style controls show immediately.
  • Edited text sometimes looking like a totally different font. Font detection now also guesses bold/italic (not just serif/sans/mono) from the original text's font name, and the properties panel lets you correct the guess by hand if it's ever wrong.

Added

  • Erase tool improvements: adjustable Width/Thickness sliders while the tool is active; clicking your own added text/image/signature now deletes it directly instead of patching over it, while clicking original PDF content still patches it.
  • Reset edits — clears every edit on the current PDF back to the original, with a confirmation prompt.
  • Close PDF — closes the current document, prompting first if there are unsaved edits.
  • Bold/Italic toggles in the text properties panel.

[0.1.0] — 2026-08-11

Initial scaffold.

Added

  • Tauri v2 + React + TypeScript desktop shell (Windows/macOS/Linux)
  • Open, view, scroll, and zoom PDFs (pdf.js rendering)
  • Edit existing PDF text in place — click any text run to retype it; original is patched out, new text drawn in its place (pdf-lib)
  • Add text boxes, images (PNG/JPG), and hand-drawn e-signatures
  • Erase tool (opaque patch over existing content)
  • Undo/redo, keyboard shortcuts (tool switching, delete, escape)
  • Page thumbnail strip for multi-page navigation
  • Drag-and-drop to open a PDF or project file
  • Save project (.pdfedits) to resume editing later
  • Export as edited PDF, PNG, or JPG
  • Distinctive editor UI (ink/paper/amber palette, Fraunces/Manrope/IBM Plex Mono type, scroll-position "page gauge")
