Improved search functionality in PDF portfolios
Searching within a PDF portfolio is now easier. Use the Search icon in a PDF portfolio or CTRL + F (Windows) or Command + F (macOS) to find text in individual files or across the entire PDF portfolio. You can view search results and navigate directly to matches within the previewed document.
You also have the option to search within the currently previewed document or across the entire PDF portfolio, ensuring a more efficient and intuitive search experience.

Scrollbar tooltip for page numbers
To enhance page number visibility, the tooltip now appears alongside the scrollbar while you scroll, displaying the logical page number of the current page.
