Dynamsoft, best known for its enterprise-grade document imaging SDKs, has rolled out Document Viewer SDK version 3.0—and it’s not just a minor update. The new release introduces three game-changing capabilities that elevate how web apps handle PDFs and scanned docs: text selection, inline annotations, and full-text search.

For industries knee-deep in paperwork—think legal, healthcare, government, or education—this update offers a smarter, faster, and more collaborative way to interact with documents directly in the browser.

Until now, browser-based document viewing was more passive than productive. Sure, you could display a PDF, maybe zoom and scroll—but trying to extract content, leave notes, or search long files was clunky at best.

Dynamsoft 3.0 shifts that dynamic. With this release, documents become interactive workspaces where users can select, annotate, and search with the precision of desktop software—without ever leaving the web app.

What’s New in Version 3.0

???? Text Selection
Users can now highlight and copy text directly from documents—perfect for extracting key clauses, data, or quotes. Better yet, selected text can serve as the foundation for annotations, making reviews far more targeted.

????️ Text-Based Annotations
Reviewing gets a major upgrade with new markup tools: highlight, strikeout, and underline. These aren’t just overlaid graphics; they’re context-aware annotations embedded into layered PDFs, easily saved and shared across teams.

???? Built-in Text Search
No more endless scrolling. The new search panel lets users instantly locate keywords or references within lengthy contracts, reports, or academic papers. It’s a small UI addition with massive time-saving potential.

“With version 3.0, we're bringing a new level of interactivity to document viewing,” said Amy Gu, CEO of Dynamsoft. “Text selection, annotation, and search capabilities empower users across industries to work faster, collaborate more effectively, and gain deeper insights from their documents.”

Built for Developers, Too

This isn’t just a user-facing refresh—it’s a backend-friendly update, too. Document Viewer SDK 3.0 integrates cleanly into modern web stacks, with:

• Rich APIs and UI components for drag-and-drop deployment

• Support for large documents with performance enhancements

• Customizable layouts for enterprise branding or workflow needs

• Compatibility with Dynamic Web TWAIN, enabling scanning-to-viewing pipelines

Whether you're building a contract management portal or a digital student records system, the SDK’s modular design makes it easy to plug in, customize, and scale.
