• SelectionHandlers URL, Exe and POST Body accept ${selectionPosition}: the current selection’s bounding box in screen pixels as x,y,dx,dy, so a helper can place itself next to the selection (discussion #6015)
• The floating selection toolbar’s built-in buttons can be chosen and reordered with SelectionToolbarLayout, the same idea as ToolbarCustomLayout (discussion #6015)
• A SelectionHandlers entry can put a search / translate / helper button on the main toolbar with ToolbarText or ToolbarSvgIcon, the same as ExternalViewers (discussion #6015)
• The annotations window opens with annotations from the pages currently on screen; the rest of a large document fill in in the background without losing the current selection
• Update available notification shows the build date when the update-check file has a BuiltOn date, e.g. Version 3.7.21539 available (built on 2026-08-21). Update
• Annotations window: a search box at the top filters the list by contents and highlights matches in yellow, like the Command Palette. Delete sits under the list. Rect, Date and Author are always shown in a two-column table (empty when the annotation has no value). Per-annotation options sit in the same kind of table. Contents is a label above a 6-line edit box. Buttons match Advanced Settings. Each list row shows the type and contents on the left and the page number on the right
• Advanced Settings shows changed settings: n in red, bold, centered on a yellow row when values have been edited in this session. Esc no longer closes the window while those edits are unsaved. The hints are a single line (Enter or double-click to edit. Bold value: different from default), and the window cannot be resized narrower than 480 pixels (fixes #6012)
• About window: Copy program and machine info to clipboard copies a multi-line dump (version, built-on date, OS, ³²⁄₆₄-bit, WebView2, memory, and other bug-report details). The right-hand date is labeled built on (fixes #6008)
• Advanced Settings can edit compact values such as FixedPageUI.PageSpacing and ComicBookUI.PageSpacing (written as 4 4). Changing them applies to open documents without restarting. Comics and image collections use ComicBookUI.PageSpacing, not FixedPageUI.PageSpacing
• Help: Manual (F1) opens next to the main window, in the upper half, on the side with more room. Its position and size are remembered across sessions and kept fully on-screen after a resolution or monitor change (fixes #6013)
• Uniform Page Width in the View menu keeps mixed-size pages at the same displayed width at percentage zoom levels, using page 1 as the reference. The chosen reading size stays unchanged when the window or fullscreen size changes, and the choice is remembered per document (fixes #5512)
• Document Properties for digitally signed PDFs shows the hash and signature algorithms, the document hash, the issuer and expiry, whether the signature is LTV-enabled, an RFC 3161 timestamp when one is present (device time vs secure TSA time), a PAdES level when the signature is CAdES, and whether the certificate is on the EU Trusted List. View Certificate… opens the Windows certificate dialog; Update EU Trusted List downloads the EU LOTL (fixes #5581)
• Kindle Print Replica (.azw4) files open as the embedded PDF instead of as a reflowable MOBI ebook (fixes #1315)
• keyboard shortcuts accept AltGr (also RAlt / RightAlt) as a modifier, the same as Ctrl + Alt on Windows, so bindings like AltGr + Return and AltGr + Shift + Return work (fixes #5973). Set Screenshot Hotkey can record Return and the arrow keys when a modifier (including AltGr) is held; unmodified Return / arrows are ignored so they are not registered as a global hotkey
• Command Palette: Ctrl + A selects the query; Home / End jump to the first / last match when the caret is already at the start / end of the query (Ctrl + Home / Ctrl + End always do); Page Up / Page Down move the list a page at a time (fixes #5972)
• Command Palette: type % for the table of contents of the current document (like $ for favorites). % TOC appears in the mode row when the document has a TOC. The old * prefix still works
• comic book archives of 32 MB or less on a network drive are loaded into memory instead of being copied to the local cbx-cache
• PDFs opened from OneNote or Outlook (and other host-app cache folders) are copied first so the original file is not left locked; OneNote can sync the section instead of showing “We can’t sync this section because we were denied access to the file” (fixes #4705)
• if a PDF has no outline, the Bookmarks sidebar is filled from numbered headings in the text (I. Introduction, II.A. Nested, 1.2 Title) so you can still jump around papers and reports that never stored a TOC (fixes #5724)
• Command Palette mode switches at the top (# File History, > Commands, …) use the same smaller font as the hints at the bottom
• Explorer and Outlook preview pane: Ctrl+wheel zooms, drag pans when zoomed in, and the wheel pans then turns the page at the edge. Double-click returns to fit-page (fixes #859)
• Transparency Grid (CmdToggleTransparencyGrid, View menu) paints a checkerboard under the page so transparent PDFs (white elements on a hole) are visible, like Acrobat’s Transparency Grid. Session-only; not saved in settings (fixes #1809)
• Page Grid (CmdTogglePageGrid, View menu) overlays graph paper on the page, like PDF-XChange’s Show Grid. Fixed-page documents only (not comics). Showing the grid is session-only. Configure Page Grid (CmdConfigurePageGrid) sets units, spacing, subdivisions, origin, color and line style (dots, dotted lines, or solid); those values are saved in FixedPageUI.PageGrid (default 1 inch major / 4 subdivisions, color 128,128,255, dots) (fixes #4398)
• Toggle Page Boxes (CmdTogglePageBoxes) outlines the PDF MediaBox, CropBox, BleedBox, TrimBox and ArtBox on each visible page — only boxes that page actually declares — and labels them media, crop, trim, and so on. For PDF development (print marks, trim vs crop). Palette and Debug menu; no default shortcut (fixes #814)
• Change Language is a modeless window like Change Theme (search box, language list, OK / Cancel) instead of a modal dialog
• Add Favorite is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Change Scrollbar is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Custom Zoom is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Go to Page is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog (the toolbar page box is still used when the toolbar is visible)
• Enter password is a WindowBase dialog like Change Theme; it stays modal because opening an encrypted file has to wait for the password
• Set inverse search command line is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Settings (Options) is a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Change Background Color and Change Tab Color share a modeless window like Change Theme instead of a modal dialog
• Navigate Files in Folder is a normal modeless window that stays open (no longer a popup that closes when it loses focus or after opening a file); Esc or the close button dismisses it, and Enter / double-click replaces the document in the current tab, while Ctrl + Enter / Ctrl + double-click switches to the tab already showing that file, or opens it in a new tab. Alt + Up goes to the parent directory (like Explorer), as does the .. entry. Del moves the selected file to the recycle bin without asking (directories are not deleted); if that file is open in a tab, the tab closes first. The window uses the app icon and the regular UI font (fixes #5877). The listing re-reads the directory whenever the window is activated or the command is invoked again, so files renamed (F2), added or removed meanwhile show up; F5 refreshes on demand (fixes #5878). It also works on the home page — there’s a Navigate Files in Folder link next to Open a document… — starting in the folder of the most recently opened document
• Renamed the companion engine DLL from libmupdf.dll to libsumatrapdf.dll (through 3.6 the name was libmupdf.dll; 3.7 and later use libsumatrapdf.dll). Installer upgrades move the old name aside; see Portable vs installer and Failed to load libsumatrapdf.dll
• Themes can set optional UI colors (DisabledTextColor, DarkerTextColor, HotBackgroundColor, EdgeColor, HotEdgeColor, DisabledEdgeColor, ErrorBackgroundColor, and notification highlight colors) so disabled and hover states are not derived only from TextColor / backgrounds; built-in themes (including Dracula) set them so tinted foregrounds no longer look muddy yellow (issue #4721)
• new built-in themes: One Dark, Monokai, Nord, GitHub Dark, Catppuccin Mocha, Tokyo Night, Gruvbox, Night Owl, Ayu, and Palenight (common palettes from VS Code and other editors)
• theme list cleanup: removed Darker (folded into Charcoal, the former “Dark background Bright text”); settings that still name Darker or the old long name keep working
• Screen readers (Narrator, NVDA, and other UI Automation clients) can access document text on the canvas for PDF, XPS, and DjVu; the experimental UIA provider is now enabled in release builds, not only debug, reading through the document character by character, word by word, line by line or page by page now advances instead of repeating the first line, and reading the text under the mouse pointer or finger works (Narrator mouse mode / touch exploration), including telling the screen reader where that text is on screen (issue #321)
• smoother mouse-wheel and arrow-key scrolling when SmoothScroll is enabled (default true): continuous exponential chase of the target, sub-pixel steps, 1 ms timer while animating; set SmoothScroll = false for instant steps
• add ScrollLineAmount advanced setting: distance scrolled by an arrow-key press or one mouse-wheel line; defaults to 16 screen pixels at 96 DPI (fixes #2447)
• Favorites can open as a full-window tab so long paths and names use the whole window; the sidebar Favorites panel still works independently. The sidebar Favorites/ToC width can also be dragged past half the window (keeps ~200px for the document)
• Favorites list has a search box (like Bookmarks), in both the sidebar panel and the Favorites tab
• Favorites can be sorted alphabetically by name (or page label) within each file instead of by page number: SortFavoritesByName = true, or the Sort By Name checkbox in the Favorites tree context menu (fixes #2277)
• rename CmdDiscardAnnotations to CmdDiscardChanges (“Discard Changes”): reloads the current document from disk, dropping unsaved annotations and form changes; available from the tab context menu when there are unsaved changes and from the Ctrl + K command palette
• PDF bookmark / link destinations now apply Adobe-style view modes (/Fit, /FitH, /FitV, /FitB, /FitBH, /FitBV, /XYZ zoom) instead of only jumping to the page (fixes #5828)
• add IgnoreDestinationZoom advanced setting: when true, clicking a bookmark or a link inside the document keeps the zoom you are reading at instead of switching to the zoom the destination asks for; it still goes to the page and the position on it. The same option Adobe Reader and Foxit call “forbid the change of the current Zoom factor during execution of ‘Go to Destination’ actions”; off by default (discussion #5938)
• following an internal link or bookmark can flash a highlight at the destination so you can see where you landed (a bibliography entry, figure, or named dest). Uses the same color and fade as LaTeX forward search, and stays solid for about two seconds before fading so it is still there after the page jump. Off by default; turn it on with HighlightLinkDestination = true (fixes #1085, #5945)
• empty fillable PDF form fields are highlighted in pale blue so they are visible without hovering. Toggle with View → Highlight Form Fields, the command palette (CmdToggleHighlightFormFields), or the HighlightFormFields advanced setting (default true) (fixes #5966)
• add DisableLinks advanced setting (default false): when true, document links are ignored so you can select and read without accidentally following them — useful for drawings and schematics with many links. Toggle it from the command palette. The existing Toggle Show Links only draws a blue outline around links; it does not disable them (fixes #5939)
• add RememberViewOffsetOnPageTurn advanced setting (default false): next/previous page keeps the same view position on the new page instead of jumping to the top, so zoomed-in pages of similar size stay lined up. It applies to explicit page turns (N / P, click-to-turn, the toolbar arrows); wheeling off the bottom of a page still opens the next page at its top, because there you are continuing to read rather than turning a page (fixes #5069)
• add MouseWheelTurnsPage advanced setting (default false): one wheel notch goes to the next / previous page instead of scrolling, even when the page is zoomed past the window. Together with RememberViewOffsetOnPageTurn the view stays parked on the part of the page you are reading and the pages move under it, which is how sheet music and scans with wide margins are read without touching the keyboard. Alt + wheel still scrolls, so the rest of the page stays reachable, and Shift + wheel (horizontal) and Ctrl + wheel (zoom) are unchanged. Bind it to a key or a toolbar button with CmdToggleBoolSetting MouseWheelTurnsPage (fixes #5069)
• EBookUI and ComicBookUI each have their own DefaultDisplayMode so ebooks and comics can open in a different layout than PDFs (empty keeps the global DefaultDisplayMode) (fixes #2588)
• ComicBookUI.DefaultZoom sets the first-open zoom for comic archives (.cbz, .cbr, …); empty uses Fit Page (the historical comic default), not the global DefaultZoom. Use fit width so new comics fill the window while PDFs stay at Fit Page (fixes #5946)
• Favorites remember how far you had scrolled on the page, so jumping to one returns you to that place, not just the top of the page
• in facing and book view, a landscape comic or image page (wider than it is tall) occupies the whole two-page row instead of pairing with the next page, so a double-page spread stored as one image displays as a centerfold. Off with ComicBookUI.LandscapeAsSpread = false (or ImageUI.LandscapeAsSpread for image folders); default is on (fixes #1324, #872)
• add EBookUI.FontName advanced setting: the font family for ebooks (EPUB, MOBI, FB2, …), e.g. Segoe UI or Microsoft YaHei. Empty (the default) keeps the engine serif. When set, it overrides the document’s own font-family so you can read in a sans-serif or a CJK UI font without editing the file (fixes #3138)
• EBookUI.FontName (and CustomCSS) now win over the document even when it sets the font in an inline style="font-family: ..." or on a <span>, so you no longer need IgnoreDocumentCSS = true to read an ebook in the font you picked. A font name that can’t be loaded is reported with a notification instead of silently doing nothing (fixes #4600)
• the ebook settings (font, size, line spacing, layout size, CSS) can be set for a single document, as an EBookUI block inside its entry in FileStates. Fields you leave out use the global EBookUI value, and nothing is written to the settings file for documents you haven’t customized (fixes #4600)
• add EBookUI.Margin: the white space around the text of a reflowable document, in points, instead of the fixed 3 em / 2 em MuPDF uses. Written like a CSS margin - one number for all four sides, two for top/bottom and left/right, or four in top-right-bottom-left order. 0 gives the text the whole page. Also settable per document, and in the eBook Settings dialog (fixes #4600)
• new Change eBook Settings command (CmdChangeEbookSettings): a dialog with the font, size, margin and line spacing for a reflowable document, which shows the CSS it generates from them and lets you take over and write that CSS yourself. Applies to the open document only or to all ebooks (fixes #4600)
• add ChmUI.FontName advanced setting to choose the font in the CHM fixed-page view and override fonts specified by the document (fixes #2737)
• add EBookUI.LineSpacing advanced setting: set a line-height multiplier such as 1.5 for more space between lines in EPUB, MOBI, FB2 and other reflowable ebooks; 0 keeps the document or engine default (fixes #476)
• Toggle Manga Mode is available for PDF, XPS, DjVu, ebooks, images and other fixed-page documents, not only comic books. It puts facing and book-view pages in right-to-left order and remembers that choice per document (fixes #2258)
• DefaultDisplayMode accepts page aspect: on first open of a PDF, XPS, DjVu or PostScript file, pick the layout from page 1 — taller than wide uses continuous + fit width (papers), wider than tall uses single page + fit page (slides). A remembered view for that file still wins (fixes #4055)
• add Fullscreen.DisplayMode advanced setting: page layout to use in presentation (Ctrl + L) and windowed fullscreen (Shift + Ctrl + L / F11). Empty (the default) keeps the current behavior — presentation still goes to single page and fit-page, windowed fullscreen keeps whatever layout you had. Set it to facing or book view to switch to that layout on enter and restore the previous layout on exit (fixes #4753)
• add SidebarOnRight advanced setting: when true, the bookmarks / favorites sidebar is on the right of the window instead of the left. Right-to-left UI languages already put it on the right; this setting does the same in left-to-right languages (fixes #2165)
• add ClickEdgeToTurnPage advanced setting: when true, a click (not a drag) on the left fifth of the page area goes to the previous page and a click on the right fifth goes to the next page — useful for comics and for reading with a mouse or touchpad. In manga (right-to-left) mode the sides are reversed. Off by default so a click still selects text. Presentation mode (Ctrl + L) already turns pages on click and is unchanged (fixes #1203)
• the floating Find window (Ctrl + F, then pop out) can limit a search to a page range: Limit to pages 1-N: accepts lists such as 3,4-6,18-, or a single span 10-25, 10, 10-, -25. Empty (the default) still searches the whole document. The n / m counter and the results list follow the same range (fixes #5694)
• warning notifications (“File not found”, “Errors in document”, update messages) use an amber background in every theme instead of a color derived from the theme accent, which came out as a loud purple in Dracula and a bright blue in GitHub Dark, and was indistinguishable from a normal notification in most other dark themes. Links inside a warning use the warning text color so they stay readable (fixes #5876)
• while a search is still scanning, the Find status shows the page it is currently on next to the running match count (e.g. 520 61), so a long search over a big document visibly progresses even across stretches with no matches
• the compact Find bar can be resized: drag its left edge to make the search field wider or narrower (the bar stays anchored to the right edge and keeps its height)
• select text with the keyboard, like a browser’s caret browsing: F7 (Select Text With Keyboard) puts a text caret in the page. The arrow keys move it, Shift + arrows extend the selection, Home / End go to the ends of the line and Ctrl + Home / Ctrl + End to the ends of the document, Ctrl + Left / Ctrl + Right move by word, and PageUp / PageDown by a screenful. v switches to visual mode, where the arrows extend the selection without holding Shift (like Vimium’s caret / visual modes). Ctrl + C or y copies and leaves the mode, Esc or F7 leaves it without copying (fixes #4684, #4116)
• extend a text selection from the keyboard by a character or a word, whichever way it was started (mouse drag, double-click, Ctrl + A or F7): the Extend Selection One Character/Word Left/Right commands. They have no default shortcut because Ctrl + Shift + Left/Right already navigate between files, so assign your own in the Shortcuts section of the advanced settings (discussion #5922)
• laser pointer for presentations: the Toggle Laser Pointer command turns the mouse cursor over the document into a glowing red laser dot, so you can point at what you’re talking about. It has no default shortcut — assign one in the Shortcuts section of the advanced settings — and while it’s on the cursor no longer auto-hides in presentation mode. Invoke it again to get the normal cursors back (fixes #5930)
• zoom to a selection: select an area with Ctrl + drag (or select text), then Zoom / To Selection (Ctrl + 4, also in the right-click menu) scales the view so the selection fills the window and centers it. The selection is kept, so you can still copy it, and Alt + Left (Navigate Back) returns to the view you zoomed from, zoom included (fixes #1699)
• follow links from the keyboard, like Vimium: Shift + F labels visible links with letters and highlights them; type a hint to follow the link (internal destination or URL). Prefix-free multi-letter hints are used when needed. Shift + F again or Esc leaves the mode. The labels follow the page while you scroll and are recalculated shortly after scrolling stops. Not offered for comic books, image folders and images, whose pages can’t have links (fixes #2629)
• Bookmarks sidebar: Collapse All expands a single top-level root one level when that is all the outline has (typical Word-export TOC), and the context menu has Expand to Level 1/2/3 for explicit depth control (fixes #5239)
• Bookmarks context menu Collapse Same Level collapses every outline entry that shares the parent of the selected/clicked item (siblings at that nesting level) (fixes #1895)
• FB2 document properties (Ctrl+D) now show the book annotation from title-info as Subject (fixes #2254)
• hovering a link that goes to a place inside the document shows the description the PDF gives it (the link annotation’s /Contents), the way hovering an external link shows its URL; before, such links showed nothing (fixes #1724)
• Space in File Explorer (or on the desktop) previews the selected file in a popup, like macOS Quick Look. Esc or Space closes it; Left / Right open the previous / next file in the folder. Off with ExplorerQuickLook = false (fixes #2568)
• clicking a component on an Altium Designer schematic PDF shows a popup with the part’s properties (comment, footprint, value, …). A line that contains a URL can be opened. Those hotspots used Acrobat JavaScript and previously did nothing (fixes #1198)
• bookmarks (PDF outline) entries are drawn with the color and the bold / italic style the document asks for
• zoom further than 6400%, for documents like large maps where the old limit hid detail that is in the file: the largest level in the ZoomLevels advanced setting is now the maximum zoom, so adding e.g. 12800 25600 51200 to it zooms that far. Values up to 1000000 are accepted; a given document is also limited by its own size, since all of its pages have to fit on one canvas. Scrolling and zooming documents the built-in levels as a ZoomLevels line to copy and edit (fixes #1195)
• add ToolbarCustomLayout advanced setting: the built-in toolbar buttons you want and the order you want them in, e.g. ToolbarCustomLayout = CmdFindFirst | PageInfo CmdGoToPrevPage CmdGoToNextPage. Leaving a button out hides it, | is a separator and PageInfo is the page number box; empty (the default) is the standard layout, which Customize toolbar documents as a layout you can edit down (fixes #5095)
• the annotation editor’s list of annotations and the Contents box of the selected annotation grow with the window instead of being a fixed 5 (or 14) lines, so making the window taller shows more annotations and more of the annotation’s text rather than more empty space (fixes #3769, #5834)
• new Advanced Settings... dialog (Ctrl + K command palette): a filterable list of the advanced settings where you can toggle booleans, pick enum values from a drop-down and edit strings, colors and numbers in-place, then Save. Replaces the per-setting toggle commands (CmdToggleSmoothScroll, CmdToggleEscToExit, CmdToggleReuseInstance etc.), which were removed
• can open and view Markdown documents (.md, .markdown): they render as formatted text (GitHub Flavored Markdown, including tables, task lists and strikethrough) via the rendering engine, and the installer registers the file association so they open from Explorer and drag&drop
• Markdown (WebView2 UI): fenced mermaid code blocks are rendered as diagrams (bundled Mermaid runtime, works offline). Fixed-page MuPDF markdown still shows the source code
• in Markdown and HTML documents, a relative link to a document rather than to another page — [the manual](./manual.pdf), an .epub, a .cbz — opens that document in SumatraPDF (Ctrl + click opens it in a new window); files of a type we can’t open are handed to the shell instead. Links to other pages, images and other web resources still follow inside the document view (discussion #5924)
• Markdown documents have a Show Generated HTML command (Ctrl + K command palette) that saves the rendered HTML to a temporary .html file and opens it in Notepad
• can open Windows icon files (.ico); a file with several sizes shows each size as a page
• HEIC / HEIF still images now decode with a built-in decoder (no Windows HEIC codec required for most phone photos); AVIF still uses dav1d. The system WIC path remains as a fallback if built-in decode fails
• Read Aloud: adjustable playback speed — pick 0.5x .. 3x in the new Speed submenu (next to Voice in the Read Aloud menu, toolbar dropdown and context menu) or click the speed button on the playback bar to cycle presets (right-click cycles backwards); the speed persists across sessions via the ReadAloudSpeed advanced setting
• clicking an empty signature field in a PDF opens Sign Document with that field already selected, instead of doing nothing and leaving the command to be found in a menu (fixes #5964)
• Sign Document can use a certificate from the current user’s Windows certificate store (the Personal / MY store), not only a .pfx / .p12 file. The drop-down lists store certificates that have a private key; pick Certificate file… to keep the old file-and-password path (fixes #5965)
• adding a new signature (New signature on page N) now asks you to click or drag on the page to place it, instead of putting it in a fixed corner. A selection already on the page is still used (fixes #5967)
• Sign Document appearance: choose which lines the signature draws (labels such as “Digitally signed by”, the name, the distinguished name, the date), and optionally a PNG or JPEG on the left instead of the large name (fixes #5963)
• EPUB, MOBI and HTML documents show WebP images instead of an IMAGE placeholder (fixes #3415). Standalone .webp files and comics already worked.
• updated the bundled MuPDF rendering engine to 1.28.2
• add AI Chat with document sidebar (in View menu and Ctrl + k command palette) for asking questions about the open PDF or image via Claude Code; per-tab session state, model/effort selection, and session history from ~/.claude/projects/
• add ClaudeCode advanced settings (Model, Effort, SkipPermissions, BgColor, SidebarDx) in SumatraPDF-settings.txt
• auto-link plain-text DOIs in PDF text (e.g. 10.1109/WICSA.2015.29 opens https://doi.org/...); uses the same auto-detect path as URLs and email addresses
• add DisableAutoLinks advanced setting to disable auto-linking of URLs, email addresses, and plain-text DOIs found in PDF text (fixes #5703)
• add ShowDocumentFocusIndicator advanced setting: when true, draws a focus ring around the document when it has keyboard focus (Tab to the page area); off by default (fixes #4644)
• add ShowAnnotationNotification advanced setting: when false, disables the tip shown when hovering an annotation (e.g. “Highlight annotation. Ctrl+click to edit.”); on by default (fixes #4501)
• Bookmarks sidebar shows page numbers (labels) right-aligned on each entry; disable with ShowTocPageNumbers = false (fixes #3288)
• page-info tip shows extra detail for images: comics / image folders list the current image file name and size (both pages when two are visible in facing view); a single image file shows pixel resolution, size, and DPI when it is not the default 96 (fixes #4456)
• -new-window with several file arguments opens one new window containing all files as tabs, instead of a separate window per file (fixes #5044)
• Manga mode (R2L): Left/Right arrows and horizontal swipe reverse so Left advances and Right goes back, matching right-to-left reading (fixes #3964)
• starting a search (Ctrl+F) remembers the current page as favorite / so you can jump back via Favorites or the command palette $ mode (fixes #5726)
• PDFs with a Catalog /OpenAction GoTo destination open at that page on first load (when there is no remembered view); URI/Launch/JavaScript open actions are ignored (fixes #1631)
• add PaddingAfterLastPage advanced setting: when true, continuous view has extra scroll room after the last page so you can bring the end of the document up (e.g. when the window is partly covered); off by default (fixes #411)
• document properties page size shows cm, mm, in (locale unit first) and pixels, e.g. 21.0 x 29.7 cm, 210 x 297 mm, 8.27 x 11.69 in, 595 x 842 px (fixes #2186)
• the FixedPageUI.SelectionColor advanced setting now honors an alpha channel: set an #aarrggbb value (e.g. #40f5fc0c) to make the text-selection overlay more transparent so selected text stays crisp instead of looking washed out; #rrggbb keeps the previous default opacity (fixes #3209)
• middle-click auto-scroll is now smooth: a high-frequency timer with fractional-pixel accumulation, so slow speeds stay even
• expand the table of contents tree down to the current page’s entry and select it, like Explorer’s “Expand to current folder” (in the Bookmarks sidebar right-click menu and the Ctrl + k command palette) (fixes #1998)
• Save As warns when a file can’t be written (e.g. the destination path exceeds the Windows MAX_PATH limit)
• can convert an image to a PDF: right-click an image (or an open image document) and choose Image / Convert to PDF, or pick PDF in the format drop-down of the Save Image dialog. The new PDF gets CreationDate/ModDate metadata with the current time and time zone (fixes #949)
• Image / Save defaults to an exact copy: the dest file uses the original format (.jpg for a JPEG, …) and Save writes the original file bytes unless you crop, resize, or change the extension
• in the Favorites pane and menu, a favorite for a file with a long name now shows your favorite’s name first, then the file name, so the name you gave it is no longer pushed out of view (fixes #829, #2236)
• case-insensitive search now treats German ß as equivalent to ss, so searching Strasse finds Straße and vice versa (fixes #933)
• hovering a thumbnail on the Frequently Read home page now shows a ✕ button in its top-right corner to remove that document from the list, without going through the right-click menu (fixes #283)
• home page document history: Del removes the keyboard-selected entry from history (shown as a shortcut on Remove From History in the right-click menu); the menu also has Delete File (recycle bin + drop from history) and Show in folder opens the in-app Navigate Files in Folder picker on that file’s directory
• Open File (Ctrl + O) can use either the standard Windows file picker or the in-app Navigate Files in Folder window (FilePicker = os | sumatrapdf, empty means Windows). Toggle with Settings / SumatraPDF File Picker or the same check under File (below Open). Open File With Windows File Picker (CmdOpenFileWithOSFilePicker) always uses the system dialog. The home page no longer shows a separate Navigate Files in Folder link
• the home page document history can be shown as a list instead of thumbnails (toggle buttons next to the header, or the HomePageViewMode = thumbnails | list advanced setting). Each list row shows a small preview, the file name, the file’s directory (right-aligned, muted), the file size, and remove/pin buttons (fixes #4909)
• new zoom mode Fit by Orientation (in the View / Zoom menu) that automatically fits width when the view is landscape and fits page when portrait, updating as you resize the window or rotate the screen (fixes #702)
• new zoom mode Fit Height (View / Zoom menu and command palette): scales the page so its height fills the window (width may require horizontal scrolling) — useful for landscape pages on portrait screens and for mixed page widths with a stable vertical size; also accepted as -zoom fitheight / advanced setting fit height and DDE zoom -6 (fixes #1714)
• comics / images: advanced settings ComicBookUI.LimitToWindowWidth / LimitToWindowHeight and the same under ImageUI — when true, absolute zoom never makes a page wider (or taller) than the window; each page is capped independently so double-page spreads stay on screen while single pages can stay large (fixes #2197)
• comic book archives (.cbz, .cbr, …) whose images live in chapter folders now show those folders as nested Bookmarks (table of contents) entries. A directory shared by every file is still omitted so a single-folder comic stays a flat list. ComicInfo.xml bookmarks still win when present (fixes #5317)
• Convert to PDF (CmdConvertToPDF) for comic books (.cbz, .cbr, …), image folders, and single images: dialog suggests a unique .pdf path next to the source; original images are embedded when possible (fixes #4118, #5532). Docs: Convert to PDF
• Convert PDF to Images (CmdConvertPdfToImages): dialog like Extract Text, with a destination path template (<N> is the page number), a PNG / JPEG / BMP format drop-down that updates the extension, and Current / All / Custom page radios (custom takes a range such as 1,3-5). Writes one file per page at 150 DPI; PNGs are losslessly recompressed in the background (fixes #5991). Docs: Convert PDF to Images
• Explorer preview / thumbnails for FictionBook: plain .fb2 and zip containers .fb2z, .fbz, .zfb2, and .fb2.zip (reinstall or re-enable the preview handler to pick up the extra extensions) (fixes #1677)
• add sumatrapdf-tool.exe command-line tools for PDF manipulation (see Tools)
• command palette has a new * mode that jumps to a table of contents entry of the current document (Shift + F12). Shows the fully expanded outline, indented by nesting level, with the entry closest to the current page pre-selected (fixes #5676)
• command palette has a new $ mode that jumps to a favorite, listing the current document’s favorites first, then favorites of other documents
• external viewer command lines now support %% as a literal %, so e.g. %%d is passed to the program as %d (fixes #5583)
• with ReuseInstance, opening a file now reuses a window on the current virtual desktop (or opens a new window there) instead of switching to a window on another desktop (fixes #5630)
• add Back / Forward navigation buttons to the toolbar; navigation history now also records views you scrolled to and stayed on, not just table of contents / link jumps
• improved overlay scrollbar
• make thumbnails on home page scrollable
• add ability to register / unregister Windows preview handler and search filter from Ctrl + k command palette
• set a custom color for a document’s tab from the tab right-click context menu
• compress, decompress, encrypt, decrypt, bake, delete pages from, and extract pages from PDF files (via Ctrl + k command palette)
• extract text from document pages to a .txt file (via Ctrl + k command palette)
• read text aloud using Windows text-to-speech: toolbar, main menu, and context menu Read Aloud (TTS) submenus with Start Reading From Top (viewport through end of document), Start Reading Selection, Start Reading From Cursor Position (context menu), pause / continue / stop, a playback bar on the canvas showing the document name, current page, and scope, word highlight while speaking, and a Voice submenu; chosen voice is remembered via the ReadAloudVoiceId advanced setting
• add ToolbarText and ToolbarSvgIcon parameters for ExternalViewers advanced setting to show external viewer as a toolbar button with text or an SVG icon (fixes #5741)
• move Scrollbars advanced setting from FixedPageUI to top-level
• toolbar has a new overlay mode: the toolbar floats over the page (sized to its natural width and centered) and is only revealed when the mouse moves near it. Set it with the new top-level Toolbar = show | hide | overlay advanced setting; F8 (Toggle Toolbar) now cycles show → overlay → hide instead of just toggling show/hide
• the toolbar can be placed at the top or bottom of the window via the new ToolbarPosition = top | bottom advanced setting (works in both show and overlay modes)
• DjVu documents can be rendered with a new built-in plain-C decoder (ext/djvudec) instead of libdjvu. Choose it with the new DjvuEngine = djvudec | libdjvu advanced setting (defaults to djvudec); toggle and reload the current document with the CmdToggleDjvuEngine command (Ctrl + k command palette)
• add EBookUI.BackgroundColor advanced setting to override background color for ebook documents (epub, mobi etc.)
• add ComicBookUI.BackgroundColor advanced setting to override the default black background for comic book files
• add ImageUI.BackgroundColor advanced setting to override the default black background for image files
• background color settings (FixedPageUI.BackgroundColor, EBookUI.BackgroundColor, ComicBookUI.BackgroundColor, ImageUI.BackgroundColor) accept checkered value to show a checkerboard transparency pattern
• change document background color per-file or for all files of the same type (via Ctrl + k command palette)
• Ctrl + click on a PDF link opens it in a new tab (instead of navigating in the current tab)
• you can now drag&drop selected text to another application, like a text editor
• triple-click selects the whole line of text (double-click still selects a word) (fixes #694)
• add stretch page scaling (and a matching “Stretch pages to fill paper” option in the Advanced print dialog) that fills the paper in both dimensions, ignoring the aspect ratio (fixes #2220)
• add “Center page horizontally on the paper” option to the Advanced print dialog, to center a page smaller than the paper (fixes #348)
• add “Choose paper source by document page size” option to the Advanced print dialog, to let the printer pick the input tray whose paper matches the page (fixes #349)
• add “Print each page at its document page size” option to the Advanced print dialog, to correctly print documents with mixed page sizes (fixes #533)
• command-line printing now honors print defaults embedded in a PDF’s ViewerPreferences (PrintScaling, NumCopies, Duplex, PickTrayByPDFSize); explicit -print-settings values override them, and ignore-pdf-print-settings disables them (fixes #534)
• command-line printing (-print-to / -print-to-default) now returns a distinct process exit code per failure category (file not loadable, printing not allowed, printer not found, driver failed, etc.) instead of a plain success/failure, so unattended callers can tell why a print failed (fixes #3478)
• can set a default for the print dialog’s Collate checkbox via the new PrinterDefaults.Collate advanced setting (fixes #1558)
• add a “Rotate printout” option to the Advanced print dialog, to rotate the printout and fix a wrong orientation (e.g. upside-down output on virtual printers like XPS / Print to PDF) (fixes #1246)
• implement the [GetFileState] DDE command to query a document’s path, zoom, view mode and version
• [GetFileState] also returns the current page and page count, and a new [GetOpenFiles] DDE request returns the paths of all open documents (fixes #5060)
• add [GetMousePos] DDE request returning the document position under the mouse cursor in PDF points (the .smx unit), for external annotation tools (fixes #1411)
• [SetView] DDE command now accepts a zoom of 0 to keep the current zoom
• toggle commands (CmdToggleFullscreen, CmdTogglePresentationMode, CmdToggleToolbar, CmdToggleMenuBar, CmdToggleContinuousView, CmdToggleTableOfContents/CmdToggleBookmarks) accept an optional state argument to force an on/off state instead of toggling, e.g. [CmdToggleFullscreen on] (fixes #5067)
• add [GotoPageWord] DDE command to go to a page and select a search term only if it’s on that page (a page-constrained search, unlike [Search] which wraps); also documented the existing [Search] DDE command (fixes #3085)
• move DefaultImageZoom advanced setting to ImageUI.DefaultZoom, default to shrink to fit
• improve Toggle Use Tabs: you can now transition between using tabs / not using tabs without restarting the app
• allow showing menu bar when using tabs (previously menu bar was only shown when not using tabs)
• capture screenshots of the desktop and all visible windows, saved as PNG files in Screenshots sub-directory of SumatraPDF data directory (global hotkey e.g. PrtSc requires a Shortcuts entry)
• you can drag&drop images from a browser onto SumatraPDF window. We’ll download it to Downloads folder and open
• crop and resize images when viewing image files
• Ctrl + V pastes image from clipboard, saves as PNG in Downloads folder and opens it
• Can save images in different formats: PNG, JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF.
• add Fullscreen advanced setting with Toolbar (show / hide / overlay, like Toolbar) and ShowMenubar options for fullscreen mode. Use F8 / F9 to toggle toolbar / menubar while in fullscreen. Legacy ShowToolbar / Fullscreen.ShowToolbar remain for migration only
• add Show Errors in right-click context menu for PDF documents that have mupdf warnings/errors
• replace HideScrollbars and UseOverlayScrollbar settings with Scrollbars setting (values: windows, smart, overlay, hidden)
• save and restore groups of tabs; saved groups are persisted in TabGroups advanced setting
• add Shrink To Fit zoom mode: shows at 100% if page is smaller than view area, otherwise fits page
• add TabsMru advanced setting to change order of navigating tabs when using Ctrl + Tab
• add CtrlTabSimple advanced setting: when true, Ctrl + Tab / Ctrl + Shift + Tab switch to the next / previous tab immediately, in tab-strip order, without showing the tab switcher (the behavior before 3.6)
• the tab switcher (Ctrl + Tab) window is sized to the number of tabs instead of always being a tall, mostly empty window
• improve document properties for comic book files (CBZ, CBR, CB7, CBT). We now show list of image files and per-image EXIF metadata
• improve document properties for image files: size, dimensions, DPI, exif metadata
• support encrypted .cbz, .cbr files
• you can drag&drop images from PDF documents to other applications (web apps, image editors, file explorer etc.)
• pen/stylus input now works for text selection on Windows tablets
• use GetFileAttributesEx instead of opening files for change detection on network drives, avoiding Windows Defender re-scans
• add citation/reference hover preview: hovering an internal-document link (e.g. a [1] citation, figure reference, or footnote marker) now shows a small popup rendering the destination region, so you can see the bibliography entry / figure / footnote without leaving the current page. The CitationHoverDelay advanced setting sets the hover delay in ms (-1 disables the popup) (fixes #128, #4221)
• translate selected text with Grok Build, Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or Antigravity when the corresponding CLI is installed (selection context menu); opens a dialog to edit the text, pick source and destination languages, and show the translation inline
• add a Match whole word toggle to the Find bar (next to Match Case) so a search only matches complete words, e.g. cat no longer matches category (fixes #4295)
• when searching, the current match is now highlighted with the customizable FixedPageUI.SelectionColor (the color users tune to be most noticeable) and all other matches use a secondary orange highlight, so the active match is easier to spot; previously it was the other way around (fixes #5740)
• find-as-you-type now waits briefly after you stop typing before searching (500 ms, or 1 s for 1–2 character terms) instead of searching on every keystroke; pressing Enter searches immediately (fixes #4626)
• add Go to Next/Previous Favorite commands (Ctrl + k command palette) that jump to the nearest favorite (bookmark) page after / before the current page (fixes #3744)
• can paste an image from the clipboard into a PDF as an image stamp annotation: right-click → Create Annotation Under Cursor → Image From Clipboard (or the Ctrl + k command palette). The stamp is created at the click point, sized to the image, and immediately selected so it can be moved/resized
• text in some PDFs that use embedded subset fonts naming glyphs like G45 (with no ToUnicode map) is now extracted and searchable: previously such text came out as � and couldn’t be found (e.g. searching “Emergency” failed). mupdf now recovers Unicode from those glyph names the way pdf.js does (fixes #3219)
• add AllowExternalImages advanced setting (off by default): when on, a PDF may display an image stored in a separate file referenced by name (an “external image stream”); the file must sit next to the PDF. Off by default for security, matching Acrobat (fixes #3731)
• add Set Inverse Search Command Line (Ctrl + K command palette): opens a standalone dialog to configure the SyncTeX inverse-search command (with detected TeX editors in a drop-down and a Help link to LaTeX integration); OK saves InverseSearchCmdLine and enables TeX enhancements, Cancel leaves settings unchanged. Works from the home page without an open document
• one-click light/dark theme switching: Toggle Light/Dark Theme (Ctrl + K command palette) flips between the last used light and dark themes (remembered in the new LastLightTheme / LastDarkTheme advanced settings). Follow Windows in the Change Theme dialog (or Theme = System in advanced settings) makes SumatraPDF follow the Windows light/dark app mode, switching automatically when the OS does (fixes #5995). Inspired by the SumatraPDF Plus fork
• caption (title bar) minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons are drawn with Windows 11 style rounded glyphs (Segoe Fluent Icons outlines), DPI-scaled (from the SumatraPDF Plus fork)
• new built-in Light Warm theme: a warm, paper-like “eye-care” chrome palette (from the SumatraPDF Plus fork; their Dracula and pure-black dark palettes already exist here as the Dracula and Dark themes)
• smarter inverted (dark) page rendering for MuPDF documents (PDF, XPS, EPUB, MOBI, FB2, HTML, etc.): the DocumentColorsFollowTheme advanced setting (also via Set Document Colors Follow Theme in the Ctrl + K command palette and the Change Theme dialog) picks how page colors follow the UI theme: off (keep original page colors, the default), smart (recolor text and background but not images; Invert Colors / Shift + I toggles between off and smart), or legacy (recolor text, background and images — pre-3.7 behavior). Toggle Preserve PDF Image Colors in Dark Mode switches image preservation for the session. Ported from the SumatraPDF Plus fork
• a small floating toolbar pops up after selecting text, with the most common selection actions: Copy, Read Aloud, Highlight, Underline, Squiggly, Strike Out (annotation buttons only for documents that support annotations). It appears half a second after the selection settles, so it does not flash in and out while you are still selecting. Disable it with the new SelectionToolbar advanced setting. Ported from the SumatraPDF Plus fork
• add Annotations.FreeTextAlignment advanced setting (left, center, right): how text is aligned in newly created free text annotations, so the Text Alignment you want no longer has to be set by hand on every annotation. Right-to-left scripts (Arabic, Hebrew, Persian) want right. CmdCreateAnnotFreeText and the other CmdCreateAnnot* commands take a matching alignment argument (issue #4799)
• clearer rendering of CAD / engineering-drawing PDFs: hairline strokes get a zoom-aware minimum width and typical CAD-export grays are darkened toward Acrobat-like contrast, so drawings stay readable when zoomed out. Applied automatically when a drawing is detected (PDF/E marker, CAD authoring tool in the metadata, or content heuristics; screenshot/raster and WPS-style hairline exports are handled too); control it with the EngineeringDrawingEnhance advanced setting (off / auto / on) or per document with Toggle Engineering Drawing Enhancement (Ctrl + K command palette). Ported from the SumatraPDF Plus fork
• Fit Content (Ctrl + 3) now works on print-ready PDFs. Those draw crop and registration marks in the bleed area outside the page, and the content detection used to count them, so it reported the whole page and zooming to content did nothing. Ink drawn outside the page is now ignored. Same for Shrink / Fit to printable area printing, which uses the same detection. Fit Content also crops the margins properly in the non-continuous Single Page, Facing and Book View modes (it used to show the top/left margin with the content cut off at the other end), and in the continuous modes the mouse wheel now scrolls the document instead of flipping a whole page per notch
• PDF documents can be digitally signed from the UI: Sign Document… (in the File menu and in the right-click Document submenu, for PDFs only) asks for a certificate (a .pfx / .p12 file plus its password) and an optional reason and location, then fills in an empty signature field the document already has, or adds a new signature: you click or drag on the page to place it (or it uses the current selection if there is one) and saves to a file you pick. Previously signing was only possible with the bundled sumatrapdf-tool sign command line. The signature is written incrementally, so signatures already in the document stay valid, and Document Properties reports the signer and whether the document changed since signing (fixes #5962, #5967)
• The Annotations window can select many annotations with the usual Windows keys (Shift or Ctrl click, Shift + arrows, Ctrl + A) and Del deletes all of them (fixes #5976)
• Bake PDF includes annotations created in the current session
• Find remembers the last 10 search queries for the session (not saved to settings) and offers them from a drop-down on the find field (fixes #893)

3.6.1 (2026-04-06) #

• bugfixes

3.6 (2026-03-17) #

• add DisableAntiAlias advanced setting
• temporarily hide / show annotations
• temporarily disable mouse click invoking TeX inverse search
• add bgcolor, opacity, textsize, borderWidth arguments to CmdCreateAnnot* commands
• add Annotations.FreeTextBackgroundColor and Annotations.FreeTextOpacity advanced settings
• sort thumbnails on home page by most recently used date. Set advanced setting HomePageSortByFrequentlyRead = true to revert to pre-3.6 behavior of sorting by frequency of use.
• support brotli compression in PDF files
• in Command Palette, if you start search with : we show everything (like in 3.5)
• in Command Palette, when viewing opened files history (#), you can press Delete to remove the entry from history
• improved zooming:
  • zooming with pinch touch screen gesture or with ctrl + scroll wheel now zooms around the mouse position and does continuous zoom levels. Used to zoom around top-left corner and progress fixed zoom levels shown in menu
• include manual (F1 to launch browser with documentation)
• add LazyLoading advanced setting, defaults to true. When restoring a session lazy loading delays loading a file until its tab is selected. Makes SumatraPDF startup faster.
• move tabs left / right, like in Chrome (Ctrl + Shift + PageUp / Ctrl + Shift + PageDown)
• add ability to provide arguments to some commands when creating bindings in Shortcuts:
  • CmdCreateAnnot* commands take a color argument, openedit to automatically open edit annotations window when creating an annotation, copytoclipboard to copy selection to clipboard and setcontent to set contents of annotation to selection
  • CmdScrollDown, CmdScrollUp : integer argument, how many lines to scroll
  • CmdGoToNextPage, CmdGoToPrevPage : integer argument, how many pages to advance
  • CmdNextTabSmart, CmdPrevTabSmart (Smart Tab Switch), shortcut: Ctrl + Tab, Ctrl + Shift + Tab
• added UIFontSize advanced setting
• removed TreeFontWeightOffset advanced setting
• increase number of thumbnails on home page from 10 => 30
• add ShowLinks advanced setting
• default ReuseInstance setting to true
• added Key arg to ExternalViewers advanced setting (keyboard shortcut)
• added Key arg to SelectionHandlers advanced setting (keyboard shortcut)
• improved scrolling with mouse wheel and touch gestures
• theming improvements
• go back to opening settings file with default .txt editor (notepad most likely)
• don’t exit fullscreen on double-click. must double-click in upper-right corner
• when opening via double-click, if Ctrl is pressed will always open in new tab (vs. activating existing tab)
• register for handling .webp files
• bug fix: Del should not delete an annotation if editing content
• bug fix: re-enable tree view full row select
• change: CmdCreateAnnotHighlight etc. no longer copies selection to clipboard by default. To get that behavior back, you can use copytoclipboard argument instead.
• change: Ctrl + Tab is now CmdNextTabSmart, was CmdNextTab. Ctrl + Shift + Tab is now CmdPrevTabSmart, was CmdPrevTab. To restore pre-3.6 immediate switching (no switcher popup), rebind the keys or use Ctrl + PageDown / Ctrl + PageUp — see Tabs and windows
• CmdCommandPalette takes optional mode argument: @ for tab selection, # for selecting from file history and > for commands.
• command palette no longer shows combined tabs/file history/commands. CmdCommandPalette only shows commands. Because of that removed CmdCommandPaletteNoFiles because now CmdCommandPalette behaves like it
• removed CmdCommandPaletteOnlyTabs, replaced by CmdCommandPaletteNoFiles @
• Ctrl + Shift + K no longer active, use Ctrl + K. You can restore this shortcut by binding it to CmdCommandPalette > command.
• add Name field for shortcuts. If given, the command will show up in Command Palette (Ctrl + K)
• closing a current tab now behaves like in Chrome: selects next tab (to the right). We used to select previously active tab, but that’s unpredictable and we prefer to align SumatraPDF behavior with other popular apps.
• swapped key bindings: i is now CmdTogglePageInfo, I is CmdInvertColors. Several people were confused by accidentally typing i to invert colors, is less likely to type it accidentally
• allow creating custom themes in advanced settings in Themes section. See docs.
• improve scrolling with middle click drag #4529
• make built-in keyboard shortcuts work on non-us keyboards (cyrillic , hebrew etc.)
• open current document in a new tab
