Black Ice Software is excited to announce yet another feature-packed release of the IceViewer Pro, a powerful PDF and TIFF viewer designed for professionals who demand precision, flexibility, and performance.

This latest update brings enhanced interactivity, smarter annotation management, and improved document security. Discover the new capabilities designed to elevate your viewing and editing experience.

🔗 Clickable Links from URLs

Speed up navigation and access external content directly from your documents!

IceViewer Pro now automatically detects URLs (like https:// or www.) and converts them into clickable hyperlinks within your PDF documents. With this feature enabled, users can instantly open web pages—no copy-pasting required.

📝 Available in both IceViewer Pro and IceViewer PDF editions.

🗂️ Expanded Annotation Control with Collapsible Comment Panels

Managing document feedback and collaboration just got easier.

Annotations are now organized by page in the Comments Panel, allowing users to expand or collapse the annotation list for each individual page. Simply click the page header to toggle the list.

Want to manage the comments all at once? Click the "⋮" menu in the top-right of the Comments Panel to Expand All or Collapse All annotations with a single click.

✅ Click on any annotation to jump directly to its location in the document.

✅ View author names and last modification timestamps at a glance.

✒️ Editable Text Annotations for TIFF Documents

Keep your annotations flexible.

With the new option to "Keep Add Text as Annotation," any text added using the Add Text tool is saved as an editable annotation, rather than being permanently embedded in the image.

This means users can modify or delete the added text later—ideal for collaborating in a document or making temporary notes while reviewing files.

🛠️ This option is disabled by default and can be enabled from the viewer settings.

🛡️ JavaScript Controls for Enhanced PDF Security

Stay in control of your document behavior.

IceViewer Pro now supports JavaScript execution in PDF documents, commonly used for dynamic content like forms, calculations, and interactivity.

Users can choose to:

• Enable Once – Allow JavaScript for the current session only.
• Always Enable – Allow JavaScript across all documents.
• Keep Disabled – Maintain high security by blocking scripts unless explicitly allowed.

🔒 Admins can also restrict this option for regular users via the Trust Manager tab, ensuring organizational security standards are met.

📝 Available in both IceViewer Pro and IceViewer PDF editions.
