What’s New

This update improves PDF readability, compression, and previews.

Clearer image processing: Improved grayscale conversion preserves searchable text and graphic details. Enhanced scanned black-and-white mode offers stroke preservation and resolution controls, with automatic photo detection to retain grayscale detail.

More flexible compression: Choose Clarity First, Balanced, or Size First to balance readability and file size, with improved compression for some scanned and image-rich PDFs.

Easier preview comparisons: Switch between the original and the crop or image-processing preview. Improved consistency between previews and exported files, with more accurate processing progress.

Better table of contents: Improved multilingual heading detection reduces interference from headers, footers, and generic page labels. Fixed issues with refreshing the outline preview.

Simpler file actions: File actions are now grouped in the More menu. Fixed blank previews for some PDFs, page count display issues, and file-switching behavior.
