ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.2 Unleashes Powerful PDF Editing, Digital Signatures, and Enterprise-Grade Features

In a bold leap forward for open-source productivity, ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.2 has officially arrived, delivering a robust suite of enhancements that will excite document professionals, enterprise administrators, and PDF power users alike. This latest version of the self-hosted office suite — which handles documents, spreadsheets, presentations, fillable forms, PDFs, and diagrams — brings a wave of innovation designed to streamline workflows, boost collaboration, and tighten security.

Digital Signatures and PDF Form Signing Get a Major Upgrade

One of the most talked-about additions in ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.2 is the ability to sign PDF forms using custom typed signatures. Whether you’re a freelancer finalizing contracts or an enterprise handling sensitive agreements, this feature eliminates the need for printing, scanning, or third-party e-signature tools. Users can now create and insert their own digital signature directly within the document, making the signing process faster and more efficient.

For those who prefer image-based signatures, the new version still supports them — with an added bonus: a handy option to remove white backgrounds from signature images for a cleaner, more professional look. Enterprise users will be especially pleased to know they can now upload signing certificates via the Admin Panel, enabling trusted digital signatures for submitted PDF forms. This enhancement is a game-changer for organizations that require verifiable, legally binding signatures.

Unlock and Edit Password-Protected PDFs with Ease

ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.2 takes PDF editing to the next level by allowing users to unlock and edit password-protected files — provided they have the correct credentials. This means you no longer need to juggle multiple tools or rely on workarounds to make changes to secured documents. The suite also introduces the ability to insert adjustable fields directly into table cells when creating PDF forms, giving users even more flexibility in form design.

But that’s not all. The editor now supports version history for PDFs, so you can track changes and revert to previous versions with confidence. Built-in PDF fonts can be edited, and text redaction is now available via a pop-up tool panel, making it easier than ever to protect sensitive information. Configurable print settings and macro support round out the PDF enhancements, allowing for advanced modifications to pages, forms, annotations, shapes, tables, images, and diagrams.

Multipage View and Enhanced Collaboration

Collaboration just got a whole lot smoother with the introduction of Multipage View in the document editor. This feature allows users to review multiple pages side by side, improving layout inspection and editing accuracy — perfect for complex documents or detailed reviews. Color-coded comments now clearly indicate the referenced text, making it easier for teams to track feedback and suggestions.

Header and footer controls have been grouped under a dedicated tab for faster access, and improved mouse selection enables quicker text selection with double- and triple-click actions. These small but significant tweaks add up to a noticeably more efficient editing experience.

Spreadsheet Solver and Performance Boosts

Spreadsheet enthusiasts will be thrilled with the new Solver tool, which leverages the Simplex method to solve linear problems directly within sheets. This is a powerful addition for analysts, researchers, and anyone dealing with optimization tasks. Additionally, rendering performance for large spreadsheets over 3 MB has been significantly improved, reducing load times and making it easier to work with massive datasets.

Presentations Get Animated with GIF Support

The presentation editor’s slideshow mode now supports GIF animations, allowing animated content to play seamlessly without the need for external tools or embedded video players. This is a welcome update for presenters who want to add a touch of dynamism to their slides without complicating their workflow.

Expanded Features and Enterprise Tools

Beyond the headline features, ONLYOFFICE Docs 9.2 packs in a host of additional enhancements:

• Add hyperlinks to images, shapes, and grouped objects in documents and spreadsheets.
• Expanded macro recording capabilities for more advanced automation.
• Support for saving files in Markdown (.md) format, catering to developers and technical writers.
• The ability to open TSV files for viewing, improving data import flexibility.

For enterprise deployments, the new Admin Panel options are a major boon. Administrators can now complete server configuration from a dedicated window, obtain HTTPS certificates through script execution, upload license files, manage and upload custom fonts, quickly shut down the server, and access detailed tenant statistics. These tools simplify instance management and give IT teams greater control over their ONLYOFFICE deployments.
