Annotation Filter Options and Improvements to FreeText with Rich Content With PDFTron 8.0.1 for Android

Today, we are very excited to introduce version 8.0.1 of PDFTron's Android PDF SDK, including new annotation filter options, improvements to FreeText with rich content, and much more.

This blog post dives into the major changes. For the full list, please head over to our changelog.

The annotation list is designed to help users quickly identify and navigate to annotations in a document. The latest release further improved this feature by adding annotation filter options for annotation type, author, review status, and/or color. Filtered annotations will be hidden from view, enabling users to efficiently organize and edit their annotations, especially when there are many!

Many UX improvements have been added to FreeText annotations with rich content (Rich Text), like brand new support for subscript and superscript characters. Additionally, Rich Text now supports vector appearances that enhance the annotations' visual quality and provide users with a seamless viewing experience.

We've also worked hard on enriching our sample base with many frequent business use cases, so customers can hit the ground running with their development and integration using the PDFTron SDK to create all kinds of interesting and useful applications. Here are some of these new samples:
