PdfSideViewer shows two PDF documents side by side with synchronized scrolling that
survives different page formats and zoom levels: positions are exchanged in page units around
a user-adjustable anchor. Pure Win32 + Direct2D, a single portable executable.

New in 0.8.0

  • UI in fourteen languages: Ukrainian, Romanian, Portuguese (European), Greek, Spanish
    (European), Polish, Dutch, Czech and Swedish join English, Italian, German, French and
    Hungarian (View ▸ Language, sorted alphabetically by native name). The live switch covers
    everything as before: menus with per-language mnemonics, toolbar labels and tooltips,
    dialogs, status bar, window title and the Explorer context-menu verbs. The English column
    is now consistently British English.
  • Bookmark matching across fourteen languages: "Sync Points from Bookmarks" recognizes
    verbal numbering prefixes in all of them ("Розділ 3" = "Capitolul 3" = "Κεφάλαιο 3" =
    "Rozdział 3" = "Hoofdstuk 3" = "Kapitola 3" = "Avsnitt 3" = "Chapter 3"), and unnumbered
    front/back-matter sections pair with their translation ("Зміст" = "Cuprins" = "Índice" =
    "Περιεχόμενα" = "Spis treści" = "Inhoudsopgave" = "Obsah" = "Innehåll" = "Contents");
    false friends stay apart (Portuguese/Spanish "Índice" is a table of contents,
    English/German "Index" is not). Cyrillic and Greek titles tokenize correctly, including
    Greek ALL-CAPS headings.
  • Installer: a per-user, winget-ready Inno Setup installer joins the portable zip: no
    admin prompt, optional Explorer context-menu integration, localized setup wizard, and a
    per-verb uninstall that never breaks a portable or dev copy owning the same shell verbs.
  • Sync robustness: the gaps-off waiting position now survives whole-pixel scroll
    quantization on every DPI (the follower's page counter could previously flip to the next
    section's first page under some display metrics, e.g. RDP at 96 DPI).
