JPEG XL images
SumatraPDF opens JPEG XL (
.jxl) images using the official libjxl decoder (
#1943).
Password on the command line
Use the
-pwd command-line argument to open password-protected documents without the password prompt (
#906).
The built-in MuPDF command-line tools (draw, convert, info, merge, clean and others) are also available as sumatrapdf-tool.exe. It is a console program, so its output works properly in cmd.exe and PowerShell, including with pipes.
Select annotation and form text; select by word while dragging
Text in free text annotations and in form fields can be selected and searched again, like in version 3.1 and Acrobat (
#1649). After a double-click, keep holding the button and drag to extend the selection one whole word at a time (
#4761).
“Rendering page N…” for slow pages
In single-page mode, going to a page that takes a long time to render shows “Rendering page N…” instead of leaving the previous page on screen.
