  • NEW Added Group Policy options to control which actions are available for serial key lists.
  • NEW Implemented a richMediaAnnot.callAS method. (40494)
  • Bugfixes and Improvements:

  • Handled a special case observed when a user changed the layout of the monitors in a way that resulted in the main window opening outside of the existing monitors. (There had been a monitor at that location, but it was taken away, or repositioned in the monitor layout). Now the position of the main window has been corrected to guarantee visibility in all cases.
  • Improved navigation via the 'Tab' key in the Preferences, DocumentProps, and DocumentMetadata dialog boxes, and fixed a minor bug with handling the 'Tab' key inside the ribbon UI's 'File' menu.
  • Fixed an issue when applying OCR to scanned documents when the pages contain special monochrome and lightweight mask-images.
