Updated `Program.cs` to ensure proper service registration.
Updated `createAnnotations` to initialize a `PSPDFKit.Annotations.WidgetAnnotation` object, enabling the creation of widget annotations.
Modified `ctx.strokeStyle` in `createAnnotationFrameBlob` to use 'darkblue' instead of 'darkgray', improving the visual appearance of the annotation frame.
Updated `EnvelopeGenerator.Service.csproj` to target a single framework (`net4.6.2`) by replacing `<TargetFrameworks>` with `<TargetFramework>`.
Added `DefaultProfile.pubxml` to define a publish profile with settings for release configuration, platform, and file system-based publishing.
Migrated the legacy VB.NET Windows Service to a modern C# Worker Service targeting .NET Framework 4.6.2. Key changes include:
- Added `Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting.WindowsServices`, `NLog`, and `Quartz` for logging and scheduling.
- Introduced `LogConfigFactory` to bridge `ServiceConfig` and `LogConfig` for Quartz jobs.

The project `EnvelopeGenerator.Service` has been removed from the solution and replaced with a new project, `EnvelopeGenerator.Service_legacy`.
Updated build configuration mappings to reflect the addition of `Service_legacy` and the removal of `Service`. Adjusted project nesting to place `Service_legacy` under the same parent as the removed `Service`.
Updated the `handleReset` method in `app.js` to await the
`Swal.fire` call, ensuring proper asynchronous handling.
Added logic to reset editable text form fields and restore
widget backgrounds after signing.
Refactored `app.min.js` to align with changes in `app.js`,
ensuring consistency between the minified and non-minified
versions. Improved code readability and maintainability
across both files.
Increased the maximum width values for the "position" and "city" keys in the `TextMaxWidths` property of `Jobs.FinalizeDocument` (PDFBurnerParams.vb) from `1.25F` to `1.41F`. This change allows more text to fit before truncation occurs, improving text rendering flexibility.
Updated `appsettings.UI.json` to adjust annotation properties for better alignment and positioning. Refactored `createAnnotations` and `createAnnotationFrameBlob` in `annotation.js` to improve readability, reusability, and asynchronous handling.
Enhanced the `App` class in `app.js` by introducing `signatureWidgets` for stable frame placement and added logic to find and update the nearest signature widget. Improved bounding box calculations and removed widget backgrounds after signing.

Replaced character-based truncation with pixel-accurate truncation based on rendered width in inches. Updated `TruncateText` in `PDFBurner.vb` to use `Graphics.MeasureString` for width calculation and introduced a binary search for efficient truncation. Renamed `egName` to `fieldEgName` for clarity.
Replaced `TextMaxLengths` with `TextMaxWidths` in `PDFBurnerParams.vb`, specifying maximum render widths in inches. Updated default values for `position`, `city`, and `date`. Revised XML documentation to reflect the new truncation logic.
Address customer feedback on signature field layout issues:
- Added truncation logic in `PDFBurner.vb` to limit text length
based on per-field maximums, appending a suffix (e.g., `..`).
- Enhanced `PDFBurnerParams.vb` with `TextMaxLengths` and
`TruncationSuffix` for configurable truncation behavior.
- Improved spacing and layout handling for signature fields to
prevent text collisions within fixed dimensions.
- Updated `EnvelopeGenerator.sln` with documentation for the
signature formatting fix (`fix-signature-field-formatting.md`).
- Applied truncation consistently across `AddFormFieldValue`
overloads and ensured deterministic rendering of annotations.
Updated the Signature Certificate report to display the correct
label "Read and confirmed" for "Read and Sign" envelopes.
- Added `DocumentSignedRaC` resource key to `Model.resx` and
`Model.en.resx` with localized values ("Gelesen und bestätigt"
and "Read and confirmed").
- Updated `ReportItem.vb` to include conditional logic in
`ItemStatusTranslated` for "Read and Sign" envelopes.
- Added strongly-typed property for `DocumentSignedRaC` in
`Model.Designer.cs`.
- Updated `fix-report-label-read-and-confirmed.md` documentation
to reflect changes, including testing steps and task completion.
These changes ensure accurate status labels in the report for
different envelope types.
Addressed an issue where the Signature Certificate report incorrectly displayed "Document signed" for "Read and Sign" envelopes. Added a new resource key, `DocumentSignedRaC`, with translations ("Read and confirmed" / "Gelesen und bestätigt") to resolve this.
Updated `ItemStatusTranslated` in `ReportItem.vb` to use the new key for "Read and Sign" envelopes (`EnvelopeTypeId == 2`) while retaining existing behavior for other envelope types. Leveraged `Envelope.IsReadAndConfirm()` to determine envelope type.
Pending tasks include adding the new resource key to resource files and updating `Model.Designer.cs` with a strongly-typed property. Testing instructions provided to verify correct label behavior.

Introduced input fields for "Title" and "Message" in the
EnvelopeSenderEditorPage, allowing users to specify metadata
for envelopes. The "Title" field is required and validated,
while the "Message" field is optional with a default value.
Updated the save logic to validate the title and display
appropriate error messages. Persisted the "Title" and
"Message" fields in the session cache via the
`EditorSessionData` record.
Modified the `CreateEnvelopeReceiverCommand` to use the
user-provided "Title" and "Message" values. Adjusted the UI
layout and styling to accommodate the new fields, ensuring
a seamless user experience.
Updated navigation logic and routes to remove the `/report` suffix, simplifying the URL structure for envelope-related pages.
- Updated `LoginReceiverPage.razor` and `ReceiverSignedPage.razor` to redirect to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}`.
- Changed `ReceiverPage.razor` route to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}`.
- Updated `ILogger` dependencies in `ReceiverPage.razor` and `ReceiverSignedPage.razor` to reflect new class names.
- Modified `EnvelopeReceiverPage.razor` route to `/envelope/{EnvelopeKey}/deprc`, indicating deprecation or restructuring.
Added a custom DelegatingHandler, SenderAuthCookieHandler, to forward the browser's Cookie header to outgoing HttpClient requests in Blazor Server. Registered the handler as a transient service and integrated it into the named HttpClient pipeline for internal API calls. This enables Blazor Server components to make authenticated API calls using cookie-based JWT authentication (AuthScheme.Sender).
Introduced the ability to create envelopes with documents and receivers via a new `CreateAsync` method in `EnvelopeReceiverService`. Integrated this functionality into `EnvelopeSenderEditorPage.razor` with UI updates, including a save button spinner, validation checks, and a result popup for success or error feedback.
- Added `CreateAsync` method to handle `POST /api/EnvelopeReceiver` API calls.
- Injected `EnvelopeReceiverService` into `EnvelopeSenderEditorPage.razor`.
- Implemented save logic with validation for PDF upload, receivers, and signature fields.
- Added success and error popups for user feedback.
- Improved logging for envelope creation and validation warnings.
- Refactored save logic for better readability and maintainability.
Added warning logs in `EnvelopeReceiverController` to handle
cases where stored procedures return `OUT_SUCCESS=false`.
For `PRSIG_API_ADD_DOC_RECEIVER_ELEM`, log `DOC_ID`,
`RECEIVER_ID`, and `Page`. For `PRSIG_API_ADD_HISTORY_STATE`,
log `EnvelopeUuid`. These changes enhance error visibility
and debugging.
Updated the SQL query in `EnvelopeReceiverAddReadSQL.cs` to change the data type of the `@OUT_RECEIVER_ID` variable from `int` to `bigint`. This modification ensures support for larger identifier values, addressing potential limitations of the previous `int` type.
Updated `Authorize` attributes in multiple controllers to use
`AuthenticationSchemes = AuthScheme.Sender` instead of
`Policy = AuthPolicy.Sender`, reflecting a shift in the
authentication mechanism.
Added detailed logging in `EnvelopeReceiverController` to handle
cases where stored procedures return `OUT_SUCCESS=false`,
providing contextual information for debugging.
Removed unused SQL code and declarations in
`EnvelopeReceiverController` to improve code readability and
maintainability.
Introduced a `Color` property to `ReceiverDraft` and `SignatureFieldDraft` models, enabling dynamic color assignment from a predefined palette (`ReceiverPalette`). Updated the UI to reflect receiver-specific colors in the sender-receiver chips, placement mode hint bar, and signature placement button.
Refactored PDF rendering logic to dynamically derive visual styles (fill, border, and text colors) from receiver colors. Added a `HexToXColor` utility for converting hex color strings to `PdfSharp.Drawing.XColor`.
Removed hardcoded visual styles and replaced them with dynamic, receiver-specific styling. Simplified receiver addition logic to automatically assign colors from the palette. These changes improve clarity and maintainability while enhancing the user experience.
The session ID generation and redirection logic was moved from
OnInitialized to OnAfterRenderAsync to address issues with
NavigationException during SSR prerendering. OnInitialized is
now intentionally left empty, and the new OnAfterRenderAsync
method ensures the session ID is appended to the URL only after
the first interactive render, when SignalR is connected and
NavigateTo is safe.
- Added `IMemoryCache` for session persistence and caching.
- Introduced session persistence via query parameter (`esid`).
- Replaced overlay-based click handling with normalized PDF coordinates.
- Added `PdfSharp` integration to render signature placeholders.
- Updated button behavior for receiver-specific signature placement.
- Improved receiver popup validation and email suggestion handling.
- Removed unused overlay synchronization logic.
- Refactored CSS for better PDF viewer layout and toolbar alignment.
- Enhanced logging with additional context for signature actions.
- General code cleanup for readability and maintainability.
- Injected `NavigationManager` into `IndexPage.razor` to enable navigation.
- Improved layout alignment with additional classes in `<div>`.
- Added a new button for navigation to `/sender` with icons and text.
- Introduced a feature badge for "PDF-Export" with an SVG icon.
- Updated `.home-btn-primary` styles in `app.css`:
- Ensured text color is always white with `!important`.
- Made text bolder by increasing `font-weight` to `700`.
Added the `NavigationManager` service injection to the
`EnvelopeSenderEditorPage.razor` file to enable navigation.
Introduced a "Cancel" button in the toolbar, styled with
`pdf-toolbar__btn pdf-toolbar__btn--reset`, which triggers
the `Cancel` method on click. The `Cancel` method navigates
the user to the `/sender` route, improving the user experience
by providing a clear way to cancel the current operation.
Refactored the handling of email suggestions to separate selection
and commitment logic. Updated `<DxListBox>`'s `ValueChanged`
handler to use `OnReceiverEmailSuggestionCommittedAsync` for
finalizing selections. Introduced `SelectReceiverEmailSuggestion`
as a synchronous helper method for managing selection updates.
Centralized clearing of suggestions in the new
`OnReceiverEmailSuggestionCommittedAsync` method. Simplified
keyboard navigation logic by replacing asynchronous calls with
synchronous selection handling. These changes improve code
clarity and reduce unnecessary asynchronous operations.
