GlyphPDF v1.3.0 — Feature Release

Release date: 2026-06-15
Type: Minor feature release (backward-compatible with v1.2.x)

Summary

v1.3.0 closes nine PRD gaps across annotation, forms, batch automation, document
comparison, secure sharing, and accessibility. It builds directly on the v1.2.1
stability fix and the v1.2.0 security hardening — no regressions to existing
workflows.

What's New

Annotation & navigation

  • OCR Verify screen restored to the screen navigation strip — the dedicated
    confidence-review screen, hidden since v1.0.0, is wired again. (§9.3)
  • Stamp, Callout, and Erase annotation tools promoted from planned to live.
    Stamp and Callout are backed by the existing canvas annotation modes; comment
    annotations now carry a file-attachment field. (§9.3)

Forms

  • Calculated form field — a 10th AcroForm field type. Drops a read-only text
    field whose value is computed by a JavaScript/AcroForm calculation
    (/AA /C action), registered in the AcroForm /CO calculation-order array.
    Drive it from Form Builder's new Calculated type with an expression input. (§9.6)

Batch processing

  • Batch OCR, Merge, and Redact are no longer stubs:
    • Merge combines all input files into a single <first>_merged.pdf.
    • OCR renders each page and writes a searchable MRC PDF/A.
    • Redact excises comma-separated regex patterns and flattens the result.
  • Hot folder watching — watch a directory and auto-ingest new PDFs (debounced),
    with an optional auto-run on arrival. (§9.12)

Compare

  • Export comparison reports to a self-contained HTML report (two-column
    removed/added table with summary header) or a plain-text unified diff. (§9.10)
  • Page reorder detection — whole pages that moved position are detected via a
    page-level LCS over page fingerprints and reported as
    "Page N moved to position M". (§9.10)

Security & sharing

  • Secure sharing — share a document as an AES-256 encrypted ZIP package
    (in addition to the existing email attachment path). (§9.11)
  • Document expiry — embed an expiry date in the PDF's XMP metadata
    (glyph:ExpiryDate); expired documents open in read-only mode with a warning. (§9.11)

Accessibility

  • Tagged-PDF reading-order check in the PDF/A panel — walks the structure tree
    and flags elements whose structural order diverges from their visual position. (§9.14)

Notes & limitations

  • Encrypted package sharing uses a 7-Zip executable (PATH, standard install
    location, or bundled). When 7-Zip is unavailable, the action explains how to
    proceed rather than failing silently.
  • Annotation Erase is exposed in the ribbon but its canvas hit-testing is not
    yet implemented; selecting it shows an explicit "not yet implemented" notice.
