Dear [Recipient's Name],

Many of our Printer Driver users might not realize that Black Ice Software also provides a versatile PDF viewer called IceViewer. We’re thrilled to announce the latest update (v. 15.11) to the IceViewer, designed to enhance your PDF and Tiff viewing and annotation experience. With a focus on improving navigation, boosting functionality, and providing greater stability, this release is packed with exciting new features and enhancements.

What’s New in the IceViewer

1. Enhanced Document Navigation:

• Now you can easily view and navigate PDF bookmarks (Document Outline), simplifying access to key sections of your documents. Say goodbye to endless scrolling!

2. Improved Annotation Capabilities:

• We’ve added a reply feature to every annotation, making collaboration smoother than ever. You can now reply directly to any comment or markup, facilitating better communication and faster reviews.

3. Optimized Rotated PDF Annotations:

• Working with rotated PDFs just got better! Annotations are now displayed more accurately, making sure your documents appear exactly how you want them to.

4. Personalized Stamp Annotations Fix:

• We addressed an issue where personalized stamp annotations would disappear in Foxit Reader when moved. Your custom stamps will now stay right where they should!

5. Stability and Performance Enhancements:

• Rotating pages and saving rotated PDFs are now more stable and reliable in both the IceViewer Core and Extension. Users can now rotate documents without any worries!
• Browsing for images while creating Custom Stamp annotations is now faster and more stable, ensuring a seamless experience.

6. Improved Usability:

• The "Do not show this dialog again" option is now checked by default for several common windows like in the File Association, giving you fewer pop-ups and a more streamlined workflow.

7. SDK Update:

• We’ve also updated our Document Imaging SDK to version 13.17.1120, which ensures better compatibility and performance across all supported file types.
