In $$$ the settings; youll find an option for the familiar $$$ two-line display.$$$$$$ Icons are now vector-based and are therefore displayed $$$ with full sharpness at any size and resolution.$$$$$$ Colors have been harmonized in Dark Mode.$$$$$$ More spacing results in a clear; uncluttered image. $$$ The Compact View (under View; Toolbars) reduces $$$ spacing.$$$$$$ All dialog windows have been modernized and $$$ redesigned. Some dialog windows can now be resized; $$$ for example; to enlarge previews.$$$$$$+ Improved Support for Multiple Monitors (DPI)$$$$$$ PDF Annotator windows can now be easily moved $$$ between monitors running with different DPI settings. $$$ It no longer matters which DPI setting the program was $$$ started with.$$$$$$+ Accelerated Display & Smooth Operation$$$$$$ The display of complex PDF documents has been moved $$$ to the background; so that the application always $$$ remains smooth.$$$$$$ When scrolling and zooming; the application is no $$$ longer blocked while waiting for complex documents to $$$ be displayed.$$$$$$ Even with longer tasks that display a progress window; $$$ the application always remains responsive; and the $$$ task can be easily canceled.$$$$$$ The display of preview images in the Annotations tab $$$ has been extensively improved and accelerated.$$$$$$+ Improved PDF Creation$$$$$$ Whenever possible; annotations created in $$$ PDF Annotator are now stored in the PDF using vector $$$ format; which leads to a significantly improved; $$$ sharper display of PDF documents in PDF viewers and $$$ programs from other vendors.$$$$$$ This means that text in text annotations can now; in $$$ most cases; be searched; highlighted; and copied in $$$ other PDF programs.$$$$$$+ New Print to PDF Annotator Driver Version$$$$$$ The new version of the virtual printer driver is now $$$ fully Windows 11-compatible and Windows 11-certified.$$$$$$ Please note that this step was urgently required. $$$ However; the range of functions and the display of $$$ printer properties of the new printer differ from the $$$ old printer; and some printer functions are no longer $$$ available.$$$$$$+ Headers and Footers; Watermarks$$$$$$ Under Edit; Document; you can now define headers and $$$ footers that should appear on all pages (or ranges of $$$ pages).$$$$$$ In the same way; you can define watermarks; text that $$$ appears centered on every page.$$$$$$ Define as many headers/footers or watermarks as you $$$ like and select the font properties and desired $$$ positioning for each text.$$$$$$ Watermarks can also be displayed as rotated text and $$$ expanded to fit the maximum page width.$$$$$$+ Improvements to the Integrated Image Editor$$$$$$ The image editor has been completely redesigned. $$$ Performance when using the camera has been improved.$$$$$$ A new black-out function for redacting content in $$$ images; similar to the existing pixelation function; $$$ is now available.$$$$$$ New selection functions have been added.$$$$$$+ New Edit Link Command$$$$$$ Links created with the Text tool can now be edited $$$ directly by right-clicking and selecting Edit Link....$$$$$$+ New Text Styles Toolbar in Full-Screen Mode$$$$$$ When editing text annotations in full screen; a new $$$ toolbar now appears directly above the text being $$$ edited; containing all text properties.$$$$$$ This feature can be disabled via the context menu $$$ during text editing.$$$$$$ This feature is also available in regular mode if $$$ the toolbars above the document have been disabled.$$$$$$+ New Digital Copy Feature$$$$$$ As before; the option to create a digital copy is $$$ offered when opening documents with restrictions $$$ defined by the author.$$$$$$ A digital copy of any document can now also be $$$ created at any time using the new command in t
