# PdfCraft roadmap: milestones and what's next
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-13 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-14 · **Change:** minor (M14: the Italian catalog has every entry the other catalogs had and the code looks up, 2,528 entries; estimates unchanged) · **Target:** Adobe Acrobat Pro (Acrobat DC, continuous track 26.002.21931, macOS)
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-15 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-15 · **Change:** minor (M6: AcroForm XML text; estimates unchanged)
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-12 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-13 · **Change:** minor (M2/M6: spot-colour images convert once per pixel value; widget placement and the Fields panel scale with the field count; estimates unchanged) · **Target:** Adobe Acrobat Pro (Acrobat DC, continuous track 26.002.21931, macOS)
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-14 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-14 · **Change:** minor (M3 candidate: coordinate control clicks on slow frames and coalesced text selection; estimates unchanged) · **Target:** Adobe Acrobat Pro (Acrobat DC, continuous track 26.002.21931, macOS)
> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-14 · **Last updated:** 2026-10-14 · **Change:** minor (M3 #2080 candidate: explicit search jumps join per-tab history; rail and control-channel Back/Forward; estimates unchanged)

| M6 | Forms + JavaScript | 160–320 | 50% | 40–75 | Done: filling all field types with regenerated appearances; Prepare a form (every field type, multi-select/shared properties, move/resize/delete, Field Properties General/Appearance/Position/Options/Format/Validate/Calculate); Acrobat's AF format/keystroke/validate/calculate functions and simplified field notation run natively in Acrobat's event order; tab order; push-button actions; flatten; agent tools.

Missing: Actions tab, wider object model (annotations, layers, dialogs), XFA<br>Done since: Multi-select choice fields write ascending `/I` option indices while preserving `/V` selection order; synthetic forms/engine regressions cover reverse selection and save/reopen. CSV export preserves carriage returns in names and values. |

| M7 | Content editing (text, images, header/footer, watermark) | 250–500 | 20% | 100–180 | Done: header & footer, watermarks, backgrounds, Bates; added text and images that stay editable (move, resize, format, rotate, flip, crop, replace); links (Link tool, Link Properties, create from URLs, remove all). Done since: Edit text preserves Arabic/Hebrew `/ActualText` typing order, with font-independent regressions; single-glyph RTL ligature spans (including lam-alef) join their surrounding word. Done since (#1116): editable text regions grouped across compatible words and subset fonts, one rich-text editor over a background with the source text removed, embedded sfnt faces reused as editor faces, and visible (clipped) bounds for cropped-image selection and resize. Exclusive crops now resize across nested states and content streams, with shared clips fixed.<br>Done since: #594 ordinary paragraph drags preserve overlapping source text; UI/engine regressions, native save/reopen, independent-reader checks and full CI passed in the Linux test environment. #1200 candidate: local GoToR links open in desktop tabs and through root-confined automation; appearance-only edits preserve existing actions. Named destinations remain unapplied and `/NewWindow` is a tab hint. Missing: editing existing text and images in place (the longest pole), image/PDF watermarks |
