We’re excited to announce the official release of Previewer 3.0. 🎉 This release focuses heavily on User Experience (UX) improvements, and the PDF viewing experience when completing Gravity Forms – no matter the device – is the best it has ever been!
Watch the launch video to experience all the little UX improvements that made their way into Previewer 3.0.
Here’s what’s new in Previewer 3.0
Scroll to Zoom
Zooming in and out is made easier! Simply hold the CTRL or Command keys (for Mac users) and scroll your mouse wheel up to zoom in, or down to zoom out. Easy! 🔍
Grab Scroll Anytime, Anywhere
It’s now possible to grab and scroll through the PDF pages even if the text-copying protection feature is disabled. Just click or touch anywhere within the previewer and move the pointer device.
NOTE: In the older version (2.0), this feature was automatically turned off if the text-copying protection feature was disabled.
Redefined Touchscreen Experience
Our team worked hard to improve touchscreen support to give you a more seamless PDF previewing mobile experience. You can now use your fingers to pinch zoom in/out and swipe to navigate anywhere within the PDF pages with ease! Perfect for viewing long documents on the go! 📑
Powerful and Adaptive in Many Ways
It’s more than just previewing your PDFs! The Previewer add-on has been greatly improved to deliver faster page rendering performance, better page numbering displays, and enhanced responsiveness no matter how big or small your device’s screen is. Talk about leveling up your Gravity PDF experience! 🆙
This update is available via WordPress One-Click Updates, or the plugin can be downloaded from WordPress.org and installed manually from your WordPress admin area, via File Upload or FTP. If you have any questions or need assistance, please reach out to our friendly support team.
