Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer 2.11.6

Big Faceless Java PDF Viewer is Intended for customers who dont require the full API, the PDF Viewer can be installed as an Applet, application or via Java Web Start, or embedded in a Swing application.

Printing, saving, text search, forms, digital signatures, and annotations are some of the many features available - the viewer can be tailored to include just the features you need, and is a cost-effective solution for those needing the features of Adobe Acrobat on a Java platform.

Essentially a cut-down version of the full PDF Library, the Java PDF Viewer is a more cost-effective solution for those who dont required API access to the main library.

Unlike its big brother, the viewer cannot create new PDFs and any edits must be made through the Swing interface. That interface is supplied with a large number of "features" (the full list is here) which can be enabled to customize the interface; ideal for distributing a limited functionality viewer as part of the

Major Features:

1. Swing component for displaying PDF documents
2. Customizable feature set includes printing, saving, search/selection, forms, bookmarks, reorderable thumbnails, annotations and more.
3. Full support for PDFs up to Acrobat 9
4. Viewer can be controlled from JavaScript
5. Applet size under 1MB
6. Localized in English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese and Chinese

Enhancements:

• All BFO warning (and debug, if enabled) messages are now logged using log4j if available, or java.util.logging.* if not.
• Large synchronization audit fixed some issues when reading from one PDF in multiple threads, particularly when using the viewer.
• Fixed problem that could result in corruption when repeatedly saving a PDF containing compressed XRef tables and multiple revisions.
• Modified AnnotationStamp so Acrobat correctly handles custom stamps, and added some new types of standard stamp.
• Added FDF.getXFDF() method, for exporting XFDF from a PDF, and added support for this to the Viewer. Fixed FDF export, broken some releases ago.
• More PDF/A related fixes, and added a number of new OutputProfile.Features.
• Fixed RichText content in text fields
• Added subsetting for CFF fonts
• Fixed error with some Windows JDKs when rasterizing JPEG images
• Fixed unusual cases of Linear & Radial shading, added preliminary support for Coons & Tensor-Product Patch shading (Type 6 & 7).
• Fixed blending, broken in previous release and resulting in opaque highlight annotations.
• Correctly handle masked images where the mask and image are different sizes, as created by Luratech products.
• Added PageExtractor.Image.getUniqueId(), to identify extracted images.
• Added PageExtractor.Image.getMetaData() and Text.getFontMetaData(), to return any embedded XMP MetaData for those items in the PDF.
• Fixed long-standing bug in CCITT.G3 2D encoding now rarely seen in very old TIFF images.
• Further fixes to handle some types of corrupt PDF
• Viewer: Page Up/Page Down/Home and End keys navigate correctly through the PDF via the Viewport ActionMap. Standard ScrollBar keybindings are overridden, previous KeyListener approach didnt work reliably and was removed.
• Viewer: Fixed missing glyphs in some fonts after a search was run.
• Viewer: PDFTool (the class run by "java -jar bfopdf.jar") has more options.
• Viewer: Stamps no longer slowly grow when clicked on due to rounding error
• Viewer: Calling DocumentPanel.redraw(page) will work as expected.
• Viewer: Dont allow JavaScript to be run on the console if no PDF is loaded
• Viewer: Fixed page jump when zoom level is changed in Column view
• Viewer: Dont fail under 1.6 when saving PDFs to filenames containing an invalid regex backreference.
• Viewer: Improved display under OS X, including addition of a Dock Icon.
• Viewer: Added keyboard shortcuts to "Open Recent" menu.
• Viewer: Thumbnail panel now scrolls to follow the current page, and renders more reliably.
