ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.3 released: PDF stamps, Merge Shapes, support for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, HWP formats, and more

The latest version of our online editors is already available with around 30 new features and multiple bug fixes across the suite. Read on to discover all the updates.

ONLYOFFICE Docs 8.3 released: PDF stamps, Merge Shapes, support for Pages, Keynote, Numbers, HWP formats, and more

Support for Apple iWork and Hancom Office file formats

The following file formats are now supported:

  • Apple iWork formats: Pages, Keynote, Numbers
  • Hancom Office formats: .hwp, .hwpx

Just open any files of the specified formats in your ONLYOFFICE to check yourself that everything works properly and the formatting is preserved.

If you need to edit such files, they will be converted and saved to OOXML formats (DOCX, PPTX, XLSX). However in this case, full formatting compliance is not guaranteed.

No matter what file you’re working with, ONLYOFFICE has you covered!

Improved RTL support

We are constantly improving localization of ONLYOFFICE Docs to make our suite accessible to all users, all over the world. Refining RTL support is one of the most important directions for us. With this release, we added:

  • ability to change the default sheet direction;*
  • ability to change the paragraph direction* (LTR ⇌ RTL) in text documents;
  • fixed display of non-printable characters for RTL paragraphs in text documents;
  • RTL interface support for the embedded viewer.

*Where to find: Sheet -> File tab -> Advanced settings / Document -> Home tab -> Text direction
