This section lists the key features and enhancements introduced in this product release.

  • Cloud License Server

  • Find & Replace

    Users can find and replace text in the current document or multiple documents. Users can add files or folders to the list of documents.

  • Enhanced 3D support

  • Enhanced dynamic stamps

    The possibilities of dynamic stamps are improved as follows.

    • The stamp can include multiple lines of text.

    • The stamp border color and text colors, sizes and fonts are customizable.
