That’s great to hear, contributions are very welcome! If you’re interested in working on outline editing, feel free to open a discussion or draft PR and we can figure out the best way to integrate it.

Thanks for sharing! It looks like the pdfreaders campaign has actually ended and the site is no longer updated, so I’m not sure it’s still being maintained as a resource.

It doesn’t support editing outlines yet, but it’s definitely possible and something I plan to look into. I don’t think it should be too hard to add.

Thanks! The redaction issue in Firefox should now be fixed.

Thanks! Glad to hear it’s working well on Firefox for Android.

Thanks for letting me know, that was related to a Firefox-specific issue I’ve just fixed. Annotations and redaction should now work in Linux + Firefox as well as Chromium.

Yep, that’s exactly the issue! I’ve fixed it so it no longer throws the TouchEvent error in Firefox. Thanks for flagging it.

Thanks for pointing that out! I’ve fixed the Firefox issue. And we actually already have Undo/Redo on the annotation toolbar.

Yes, those commercial PDF SDKs charge crazy prices! Time to change that.

Haha fair, but PDFium's under Apache 2.0, so at least the “cartel” in this case is about as open-license as it gets.
