FormVu has received an update, introducing improvements in action processing, annotation handling, and PDF compatibility. These enhancements ensure more accurate and reliable PDF form-to-HTML conversion, for developers integrating forms into their applications.

Key Enhancements

Refactored and expanded action processing, resulting in:

  • Correct separation of page events, preventing overwrites.
  • Fixed issue where field events incorrectly inherited from sibling objects/fields.
  • Duplicate document-level JavaScript removed for cleaner output.
  • Added basic support for /Next entries, improving action handling.
  • Easier integration of future enhancements.

Fixes

  • Incorrect displaying of Link annotations with QuadPoints fixed.
  • Resolved an issue where XObjects with a large scale and a height of 0 were incorrectly visible.
  • Addressed an issue where a compressed xref stream exceeding the scan limit caused a PDF loading error.

These updates make FormVu even more powerful for developers working with interactive PDF forms. Check out our Release Notes to learn more!
