What's new in 4.24
Read PDF text content with Script method The new app.readFilePdf(filename) method can be used in the Script method to read the text content of a PDF into a string. Only real text can be read; if the text is stored as an image, it cannot be extracted. The program now has native PDF support without the need for external tools, making PDF loading faster. An optional second parameter can be used to read only a specific page: app.readFilePdf(filename, page). If omitted, the text from all pages is returned. Place panels on the right Individual UI panels can now be configured to appear on the right side of the main window instead of the default left side. This setting is available in the Settings window, where each panel can be independently assigned to either the left or right side. You can keep all panels on the left (the default), move all of them to the right, or mix and match — placing only some panels on the left and others on the right — to suit your workflow. Hide left or right panel by clicking panel button You can collapse either the left or right panel by clicking its panel button, which gives you more room to work by exposing a larger area for the item list.
