March 8th, 2012· Fixed issue with Text Edit: Sometimes, our PDF font engine needs to add space characters to represent empty white space between characters within text content strings. When this happened, PDF Studio would identify the added space characters as invalid and would not let users edit these strings.
· Fixed issue with Color Chooser Component: When editing annotations colors, recent color swaps were not remembered within the color chooser component. Recent colors will now be remembered within a session (until PDF Studio is exited).
· Fixed issue with Preflight: When derived, type1 fonts were not reported as embedded in the preflight report.
· Fixed issue with Media Toolbar: In some rare circumstances due to specific buttons visibility settings within the media toolbar, PDF Studio would not start.
February 17th, 2012· Fixed issue with Google Docs: When uploading PDF documents to Google Docs, an error would appear stating that "Files must be uploaded using the resumable upload mechanism".

December 21st, 2011NEW FEATURES:
UI Enhancements and Customizations:
· Customizable Toolbars - Customize toolbar visibility and grouping to suit your preferences and the way you work with PDF Studio. This feature can be accessed by right clicking on the toolbar or from the view menu.
· Customizable Look & Feel - Choose your favorite Look and Feel among our new options.
· Updated Preferences Dialog - The new design of the Preferences dialog comes in a list layout which makes it easier to find and set options.
· Identify Secure Documents - (SECURED) is displayed after the PDF document name in the title frame allowing users to immediately identify documents secured with passwords. This should help users understand why they can't make some changes when viewing encrypted files.
Loupe Tool:
· Easily magnify small details on a PDF document. The loupe lool displays a magnified portion of the PDF that matches the area of the adjustable rectangle in the document window. This tool will be useful in a number of industries such as printing, graphics, electronics, and biology.
Compare Side by Side:
· Compare two versions of a PDF with our new side by side view. With synchronized scrolling, you will be able to review both documents at the same time and find the differences at even the smallest details using the sophisticated "double loupe tool".
Email PDFs As Attachments:
· Enter your email server information once and easily send PDF documents with a single click directly from PDF Studio. This feature should help users collaborate electronically with friends and colleagues in an efficient way. Customers who are enrolled in online fax services letting them send faxes via email (such as myfax.com or efax.com) will now be able to send faxes directly from within PDF Studio.
June 20th, 2011NEW FEATURES:
· Ability to "Open Link" and "Create Link" from Selected Text . When the text selected on a page corresponds to a valid web or email url, the mouse context menu will show an option to "Open Link". This offers a convenient shortcut for PDF Studio users to browse to web links present in a document. The "Create Link" menu option will also now default the url to the text url making it faster to create link annotations from existing urls in the document content.
IMPROVEMENTS:
· New Preference Setting for Webdav Document Services Users. PDF Studio usually uses a temporary file when saving documents locally in order to avoid losing the document if any error happens during the saving process. Certain document services using webdav servers (such as 03Spaces) require saving directly to the file without the use of a temporary file in order to preserve version history for the document. We've added a new setting for this under the Preferences dialog.
· More Links Recognized in Auto-Create Links dialog: Improved link parser to recognize more links.
· (Windows 7) Improved Icon on Taskbar: On Windows 7, the minimize icon on the taskbar had a low resolution.
· Many Improvements in our Word to PDF conversion: Support for paragraph shading – before only handled shading on tables, more fields handled – DATE, NUMPAGES, FILENAME fields, support for having different header/footers on different pages, many improvements and bug fixes.
FIXES:
· Open Document Error: Fixed new issue in version 6.60 when opening a PDF document containing annotations with null dates values.

FIXES:
· Fix issue that was introduced in version 6.60. Text extraction was broken for documents containing CJK font.
· Fix issue that was introduced in version 6.60. Review status for annotations (such as accepted, cancelled, rejected, etc..) was broken.
· Fix issue that was introduced in version 6.60. The Replace Text caret annotation was not displaying correctly in other PDF viewers such as Adobe Reader. Only the caret part of the annotation would show and not the strike-through.
· Some German translations for newly added labels in version 6.60 were missing.
· Fix issue with bookmarks not going to the correct pages when in Fit To Page view mode.

February 26th, 2011NEW FEATURES:
· New Advanced Custom Stamps (Pro). In addition to image and text stamps, PDF Studio 6.6 allows to create very sophisticated custom stamps. Include multi-line text, images, dynamic fields (such as date and time) and different types of annotations all grouped together in a single custom stamp. Custom stamps can be saved and edited later on. And since stamps are saved in a vector format, they can be resized crisply when applied to a document.
· New Tool Chest. PDF Studio 6.6 saves and displays users most recent annotations as well as users favorite annotations under the Tool Chest pane. This saves time when frequently applying the same annotations.
· New Native File Dialogs (Windows, Linux). Windows and Linux users have the option to use the native file dialog of their operating system instead of the Java Swing file dialog. Native dialogs have more functionality (auto-completion for instance) and users are more familiar with them.
· New Unicode Support. Edit unicode text (UTF-16 characters) in annotations content. This will be of special interest to customers using non-latin characters such as arabic, asian, greek, cyrillic characters. Unicode text is also supported within document properties (author, subject, description).
· Support for Annotations Groups. Group multiple annotations on a page to process as a single unit. Grouped annotations share their comment and are moved, deleted, reviewed or flattened at once.
· Multiple Selection of Annotations. Select multiple annotations on a page at once to move, delete, review or flatten them all at once. Annotations selected on the document will also be selected in the annotations trees under the Annotations Pane.
Create PDFs from Other Documents Including New Support for Text & MS Word Files. Open text and MS Word (97-2003) files directly in PDF Studio (it converts the documents to PDF on the fly). PDF Studio has a new menu entry under File -> Create PDF to create PDF files easily:
· Create PDF from File: Allows to create a PDF from all supported formats including Text, MS Word and all image type files.

· Drag and Drop Files in Attachments Pane. Simply attach documents to a PDF by dragging and dropping files into the Attachments pane.
IMPROVEMENTS:
· Support for XMP metadata in Document Properties: When editing document properties and xmp metadata is present in the document, PDF Studio will update the xmp metadata so properties are correctly read and displayed in all PDF viewers.
· Batch Merge now Supports Images, Text and Word Files: Batch Merge can now merge different format files into a single PDF document (PDF, Images, Text and MS Word).
· New Function to Reverse Pages: Under Document -> Reverse Pages, it is now possible to reverse all pages within a document in a click. This can be useful after scanning a document in reverse order.

· Default Document Name for Documents Created from Files: When creating a document from external files (images, text or MS Word documents), PDF Studio will default the name of the PDF to the original document.
· Improvements to Text Search Dialog: Ability to cancel search. Search button is being disabled during a search so users can not accidentally click search twice. After search is finished, clicking "Enter" will go to the next occurrence in the results list.
· Form Field Tooltip: To help users filling forms, field information (if available) is now displayed as tooltips under interactive form fields. The data shown corresponds to the "/TU" entry in the field dictionary.
· Default Page for Extract Pages: When extracting pages from Document -> Extract Pages, PDF Studio 6.6 will default to the currently selected page.
· Improvements Around Copying and Pasting Pages: New menus available under the Thumbnails Pane to copy, cut and paste pages within a document or across documents. An image file can now be copied and pasted onto a PDF page (as a stamp) directly through copy and paste commands without having to open the image in an external image viewer.
FIXES:
· Fix issue with the Split Dialog not opening when running in demo mode.
· Fix issue with "Missing Font" in PDF documents. There are magic fonts (Helv, CoBO, Cobo, Cour) not specified in the PDF specifications that do not need to be embedded in the document and that use "shortcut names" compared to standard font names.
· When renaming a bookmark, the new bookmark name will default to the previous one.
· Fix issue when opening a document created in Open Office. This issue was reproducible on Linux with documents containing annotations. The PDF file generated in Open Office does not follow PDF specs.

· Even when canceling the action of digitally signing a document, PDF Studio was still trying to save the file.

· The Properties label was cut for foreign languages in the Annotation Popup Dialog.
· The results list in the Text Search Dialog allowed for multiple rows selection. However, the functionality of the dialog was dependent only on the first row selected. The results list is now single selection.
· When editing a typewriter, free text or callout annotation, hitting escape will exit the edit mode and select the annotation (it used to not select the annotation).
· Fix some issues with PDF/X preflight parser introduced in a previous version. Structure rules were enforced but not content rules. Also added new support for blend modes rules.
