PDFTron: Silverlight Document Viewer

+February 8, 2012 - Version 1.3.0

Support for Silverlight 5. The SDK now includes two dll's - SilverDox-SL4.dll compiled with Silverlight 4 (SL4) and SilverDox-SL5.dll with Silverlight 5 (SL5). Both versions of the dll are compatible with the SL5 runtime. SL5 version of the DLL will compress print jobs when using a PostScript printer.
Landscape pages are now printed in a landscape orientation.
Print jobs can now optionally fit to page (new API: PDFTron.SilverDox.Documents.Print(bool fitToPage = true, List<Canvas> annotationCanvases = null))
Developers can now create custom popup canvases (new API: PDFTron.SilverDox.Documents.Annotations.Annotation.CreatePopupCanvas())
Out of browser (OOB) support
Bug fixes.

+January 26, 2011 - Version 1.2.0

Includes a new Part Retriever, HttpStreamingPartRetriever. This part retriever is used to retrieve a document from an HTTP server that does not support byte-serving, or optionally when the document is converted to Silverlight XPS (XOD) on demand. This retriever transfers the entire document in order from beginning to end, with pages and thumbnails displayed as each page arrives. For more information on the difference between the available part retrievers and how to choose the correct one, see the new documentation article "SilverDox Part Retrievers" available through http://www.pdftron.com/silverdox/documentation/Index.html
Part Retrievers have three new boolean properties referenced by DocumentViewer to toggle document background loading, whether to use pre-generated thumbnails or built-in thumbnails, and whether to show an enlarged thumbnail in place before page content is available.
DocPub supports new platforms (Windows, Linux, and Mac).
DocPub supports incremental conversion and streaming using the new '--console_out' option. When this option is specified, DocPub will write the output to the console rather than a file which allows output files to be streamed to the consumer.
Implements a workaround for a bug in Silverlight where opacity masks are incorrectly transformed (http://groups.google.com/group/silverdox/ t/da0abac91c925635/). By default PDFNet and DocPub will rasterize pages with opacity masks that may cause viewing problems. This change will not affect text search/highlighting which will still work as expected. A new option '--no_mask_workaround' can be used to disable rendering of pages containing opacity masks.
Bug fixes.

+December 16, 2010 - Version 1.0.4

DocumentViewer has greatly improved support for annotations. A new namespace has been added 'PDFTron.SilverDox.Documents.Annotations' that contains classes that allow the document to be annotated with built-in and custom-developped annotation types. A sample project is available as part of the SDK download and a live demo is available here: http://www.pdftron.com/silverdox/samplecode.html#Annotations
DocumentViewer's mouse and keyboard event handlers are now protected, allowing developers to add to or override their behavior.
A number of minor bug fixes.
