When specifically in the Turkish locale, the hyperlink button no longer appears on the annotation toolbar when it has been hidden with the "hideAnnotationButtons" HTML parameter. Improved the detection of PDFs that do not strictly follow Adobe's specification but can still be rendered. The progress bar that indicates document download progress is now accurate when the document being downloaded is larger than ~21MB. Text date stamp annotations now honour the locale of the current machine. Scrolling the thumbnail view with the mouse wheel is much faster. Pressing F10 (Fit to Window Height) no longer causes the viewer to lose focus. Resolved an issue that could result in text annotations being hidden or truncated from a print visible operation when zoomed in. Some TIFF images with an incorrectly specified BitsPerSample can now be viewed. The properties dialog for a sticky note annotation now shows the modified and created dates in the user's locale. Streamer Server Module - properties in the streamer.properties file are now case-insensitive. On Mac OS X, resolved issue with the Image Information Dialog only possible to be displayed once. On Mac OS X, the background color is now more consistent. Resolved issue with PDF Viewing where the Viewer would intermittently cause the Browser to shutdown. Improvements to viewer cache management which now tracks document meta-data (such as MIME types) across browser page refreshes. Resolved issue with the separator pages not being printed correctly when the same URL is used for different separators. Resolved memory issue with copying very large images to the clipboard. Streamer Server Module - Resolved issue when the Application Server that the streamer is deployed in does not support HTTP HEAD requests. Resolved issue with displaying JPEGs where there is repeated image data in the file. Resolved issue with annotations failing to load when using 2 applets and the Javascript method setAnnotationFile. Streamer and Permanent Redaction Server - Reduced the memory footprint when the server is initiated. Improved the performance of displaying PDF documents. Resolved issue when using the page<x> parameters and using very long urls for the pages that are very similar and the wrong page being displayed. Resolved issue with setting the "EmptyOnClose" to false and when the document is closed it still gets cleared from the Viewer cache and so has to be redownloaded when it is reloaded. Resolved issue where opening and closing a New Window without modifying annotations would show an annotation error dialog when attempting to save annotations.
