A new PDF viewer is now enabled in Tasks, Documents, Invoicing, and Accounts payable, delivering significant improvements in invoice processing experience and security.

Key features and improvements:

  • Superior rendering quality for better productivity: The new PDF viewer makes reading and working with invoices easier than ever. Text and visual elements are now displayed far more accurately, reducing issues where content might previously have appeared missing or incorrect. 
  • Improved viewing experience: Usability is optimized, including the prevention of unnecessary side panel openings, addressing the issue present in the previous PDF viewer.
  • Enhanced PDF zoom control: We’ve added a new feature that allows you to set your preferred default zoom level for PDFs, giving you more control and flexibility over how PDFs are displayed. By default, PDFs open at full width based on available space, but now you can easily adjust the default zoom level to match your viewing preferences. This feature can be accessed from the More options menu within the invoice image area in Accounts payable, as well as in the Professional view within Tasks, Documents, and Invoicing.
    • Set current zoom level as defaultSave your preferred zoom level as the default for opening PDF images. You can set separate defaults for split view, details view, and "open image" mode.

    • Restore default zoom level: Quickly reset the custom zoom setting and return to the standard default view.

  • Streamlined text selection: An intuitive inline menu appears when selecting text within a PDF, enabling effortless copying with just the mouse.
  • Security enhancements: The new PDF viewer includes important security enhancements that provides better protection than the previous PDF viewer.
  • Multilingual support: All texts and actions within the new PDF viewer are displayed in the user’s language. Previously, they were always in English. This improves usability for non-English speakers. The content of the PDF file itself remains unchanged.
  • Enhanced PDF editing: AP clerks can rotate and delete pages more smoothly when editing PDFs. While these actions were previously available, the new PDF viewer significantly improves ease of use. The Document Editor is now easily accessible from the PDF viewer's toolbar for AP clerks with "Manage received invoices" user right and when the invoice status is Received.
