We at Syncfusion are working on the fourth and last major release of the year 2022. Packed with cool and exciting features, we expect to release Essential Studio 2022 Volume 4 in the middle of December.
The Syncfusion Xamarin.Forms suite offers popular Charts and DataGrid controls and unique file-format libraries for working with Excel, Word, PDF, and PowerPoint files.
Let’s look at some of the new features on the agenda that will enhance this platform even more in the 2022 Volume 4 release.
PDF Viewer
The Xamarin.Forms PDF Viewer will gain the following new features.
Ink eraser tool
You can use this tool to erase ink strokes in a PDF document.
Custom bookmarks
The Xamarin.Forms PDF Viewer already has support to show bookmarks in a PDF document.
With 2022 Volume 4, you will be able to add bookmarks dynamically. These dynamic bookmarks will not be visible when you open the PDF file in other PDF viewers. You can view them only in our Syncfusion PDF Viewer. These bookmarks will be displayed in a tab separate from the content bookmarks of the PDF, like in the following image.
Persist the zoom percentage
The Xamarin.Forms PDF Viewer will provide support to persist the zoom percentage when the PDF pages are switched to single-page view mode.
Previously, in single-page view mode, when we zoomed in or out in a page and then moved on to another page, the new page would load with the default zoom value. From now on, the PDF Viewer will have the support to load even the new page with the zoom factor that was applied to the previous page.
Chips
From the 2022 Volume 4 release on, you will be able to customize the font family in the Xamarin.Forms Chips control.
Conclusion
Thanks for reading! Along with these updates, there will also be other new features and bug fixes in our Syncfusion Xamarin.Forms suite in the 2022 Volume 4 release. You can check them out once the release is launched. It will not be long!
