Changed
Various updates to the new render engine.
5.0.0 - 23 Oct 2015
See the announcement post.
PSPDFKit 5 is a major new version, introducing our own renderer and focusing on improving performance. It requires Xcode 7.1 and is compatible with iOS 8.0 - 9.1. This release is a huge usability improvement with Swift but also Objective-C, as we annotated all headers with generics. This release now shares our new core with our Android SDK to further improve quality and performance.
Changed
PSPDFKit now uses its own PDF renderer and no longer uses Apple's Core Graphics renderer, which means better performance, stability and quality. (#3737)
Changed
Undo and redo now remember individual lines drawn instead of the previous behavior where undo removed the whole annotation, once committed. (#2825)
Changed
The tabbed bar has been completely redesigned and now supports animations and reordering, not to mention it being much prettier. (#665)
Changed
View controllers are now presented using
UIPresentationController and are much easier to handle and dismiss. (#3519)
Changed
Popovers are no longer dismissed on rotation. (#3519)
Changed
iOS 8 adaptivity is fully supported: view controllers swap between being popovers, half modal or full screen depending on context. (#3743)
Changed
The default presentation style has changed for
presentViewController:options:animated:sender:completion: from
PSPDFViewController and
PSPDFPresentationActions. The default is now to use the presented view controller’s
modalPresentationStyle, similar to the old
PSPDFPresentationStyleForceModal style, which has been removed.
Changed
To restore the equivalent of PSPDFKit’s previous default behavior (using either a popover or full screen, depending on the space available), set the presented view controller’s modalPresentationStyle to UIModalPresentationPopover.
Changed
The annotation toolbar now automatically adapts its items depending on the available screen real estate. This change comes with a new API that allows setting multiple toolbar configurations amongst which the toolbar picks the optimal layout. (#3950)
Changed
The free text input accessory view has been updated to show popover pickers whenever possible, with a fallback to the half modal inspector, if vertical space is tight. (#3987)
Changed
We’re using UIAlertController and UISearchController everywhere, replacing the older deprecated API for further view controller unification. (#3381)
Changed
Automatic double page mode is smarter, comparing the aspect ratios of the view and the document and only showing two pages if they fit without too much shrinking. Automatic mode is now the default on iPhone too, but since two pages are only shown in large views the behavior will be similar.
Changed
By default, page thumbnails are now sized adaptively to comfortably fill the available space.
Changed
Instead of
CGPDFDataProvider we now have a new
PSPDFDataProvider protocol, which finally allows writing as well. (#3690)
Changed
Safari view controller is used instead of PSPDFWebViewController on iOS 9.
Changed
PSPDFScrobbleBar has been renamed to PSPDFScrubberBar to better express its purpose.
Changed
Querying for the annotation author name has been moved to before the annotation toolbar is displayed. (#3544)
Changed
Annotation creation can now be prevented on select PDF pages by adding a boolean key to the page dictionary (see allowAnnotationCreation on PSPDFPageInfo). (#4308)
Changed
PSPDFAnnotationStateManager now supports multiple delegates and the delegate protocol gained some new methods. (#3607)
Changed
The color menu is now represented visually, and uses the style manager color presets. (#2802, #2890)
Changed
Switching between regular and callout styles for text annotations now produces better results and has been made easier with a redesigned UI. (#3664 and #3859)
Changed
The annotation stream now gets properly reset when an annotation is modified, preventing stale content from being rendered on screen. (#3817)
Changed
PSPDFDocumentActionExecutor’s presentationController has been renamed to sourceViewController to better describe its purpose and avoid confusion with UIPresentationController.
Changed
The prefersStatusBarHidden property in the PSPDFStyleable protocol has been renamed to forcesStatusBarHidden to be distinct from the closely related UIViewController method of the same name.
Changed
It is now possible to show color presents on PSPDFAnnotationStyleViewController, even if color and opacity settings are disabled. Color presets can still be hidden by adjusting typesShowingColorPresets. (#4108)
Changed
Accessibility and voice over support has been improved on some of our key UI elements. (#3834)
Changed
The author username is now requested earlier and managed via the new PSPDFUsernameHelper class.
Changed
The border radius of PSPDFSearchHighlightView is now dynamically calculated based on the current zoom level and can be configured via cornerRadiusProportion.
Changed
PSPDFImageInfo is now much more reliable and detects more image formats.
Changed
PSPDFActions nextAction is now an array to correctly reflect the PDF spec, and the whole tree is iterated as required upon execution.
Changed
PSPDFRenditionAction now also exposes optional attached javascripts.
Changed
The hooks for markedContentStack and shouldParseCharacter: in the PSPDFTextParser have been removed since they were very rarely used but caused a noticeable slowdown for all text extraction. If there's demand, we'll look into ways to reintroduce a similar feature with less performance impact.
Changed
prefersStatusBarHidden in PSPDFStyleable has been renamed to forcesStatusBarHidden to not confuse this with properties that UIKit recently introduced.
Changed
Several annotation classes have new parent types to unify certain features, such as PSPDFAssetAnnotation and PSPDFAbstractShapeAnnotation.
Changed
Small UI updates across the board. (For example, dark colors are easier to see in menus.)
Changed
Various lesser-used API has been redesigned or removed for better clarity.
4.4.18 - 28 Oct 2015
4.4.17 - 15 Oct 2015
Fixed
Fixes an issue where the first thumbnail in scrollable thumbnail mode could be skipped under iOS 9. (#4270)

This release will be one of our last v4 releases, while v5 for iOS 9/8 is steadily nearing completion with a huge list of updates/improvements.
We backported the new bezier path calculation code, so ink annotations are quite a bit faster now. There's a lot more coming soon!
Changed
When invoking search, we now prioritize the current visible pages before searching the rest. Search results will show up significantly faster on complex documents. (Z#1829)

4.4.11 - 31 Jul 2015
Added
Adds Czech, Greek and Finnish translations and updates various other localization details.
API
The rotationLock has been removed. Subclass PSPDFViewController and override the rotation methods and/or implement supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: to lock rotation. Since PSPDFKit doesn't own the application, yet this requires hooks to your app delegate, the previous implementation was flawed and subsequently removed.
Changed
Allow rendering the page to larger sizes when aspect ratio is preserved. (#3528)

The bookmarkQueue is now exposed via a property and not via an ivar in PSPDFBookmarkParser.
API
A few methods in the digital signature code have been renamed to be more clear about their intent.
API
Adds a new pageTextFound parameter to didFinishSearch: and now shows "Document has no content" if a document without text content is being searched.

3.6.0 - 16 Mar 2014
See the announcement post.
We're proud to ship the next milestone of PSPDFKit. Version 3.6 features a completely new annotation toolbar, search within annotation text, note annotations that show up in the thumbnails and countless other improvements.
This release has been fully tested with Xcode 5.1 and iOS 7.1. We now require at least Xcode 5.0.2 and SDK 7 to compile and have dropped support for Xcode 4.6 (Apple no longer accepts apps built with SDK 6/Xcode 4.6)
Applications built with PSPDFKit will still run and work great under iOS 6.
Changed
Fully compatible and tested with iOS 7.1 and Xcode 5.1.
Changed
God dag! We've added Swedish to the list of presupplied localization files.
Changed
All-new flexible annotation toolbar (PSPDFFlexibleAnnotationToolbar) that can be dragged to be vertical or horizontal.
See PSPDFAnnotationToolbarType in the PSPDFAnnotationBarButtonItem to optionally keep using the old annotation toolbar.
Changed
PSPDFKit Complete can now create digital signatures. This feature is still in beta - we need more documents to test all possible conditions.
If you're having issues with this, please contact us so we can further increase the test coverage.
Changed
Text selection now supports text-to-speech on iOS 7+. See PSPDFSpeechSynthesizer for details and options to customize the language.
Changed
Forms on iPhone/iOS 7 now have an automatic zoom feature that makes it a lot easier to enter text.
Changed
Search now also includes annotation and form element contents. This is especially useful for note annotations and forms. (PSPDFKit Basic/Complete)
Changed
Search results are now hidden on page tap (unless that tap finds an action like selecting an annotation.)
Changed
Note annotations are now always rendered at the same size and also visible in the thumbnails.
Changed
PDF annotation writing will now be faster and produce a more compact trailer, reducing target file size.
Added
Adds support for mailto: links with multiple email addresses (also for CC and BCC).
Changed
Saving will now use the correct z-index for annotations and forms in the same ordering as they are added. Saving changed objects will no longer change the z-ordering.
Changed
Simple JavaScript actions like printing, alert boxes or adding form values now work. If you have a use case for that, please contact us at
support@pspdfkit.com.
Changed
The XFDF parser now parses basic rich text strings as used in Acrobat and keeps color and font informations.
Changed
Increases contrast for the selection color on form choice list-boxes.
Changed
PSPDFTextSelectionView now allows UIAppearance to customize selectionColor and selectionAlpha.
Changed
The PSPDFActivityViewController now checks if printing is allowed for the document before even showing the print option.
Changed
No longer ends the text view edit mode when zooming on iOS 7 (flat mode) and above.
Changed
File annotations are now evaluated lazily, which improves startup performance for documents with many such annotations.
Changed
Note annotations now also create popup annotation on PDF saving. These are optional but increase compatibility with certain less standard-compliant 3rd-party software.
Changed
The behavior of the pdfViewController:didTapOnPage:View:atPoint: has been updated when no PSPDFPageView was hit to return nil here, and coordinates relative to the current PSPDFViewController.
Changed
The PSPDFThumbnailBar has a new parameter to optionally enable the page labels: showPageLabels (defaults to NO).
Changed
Many improvements related to PDF AcroForm handling and input validation.
Changed
Calls to didHidePageView: and didShowPageView: of views with the PSPDFAnnotationViewProtocol are now properly balanced.
Changed
The text parser now has a more sophisticated text shadow/overlay detection, which improves search results by removing duplicated glyphs.
Changed
The gallery has a new mode that enables live-blur behind the content (see blurEnabled on PSPDFGalleryViewController).
Fixed
Fixes an issue where the popover might open at an unexpected location when using the inline multimedia system with the popover:true parameter.
Changed
Font annotations are now rendered with their AP stream for greater document accuracy.
Changed
Annotations now support the additional action mouse up event.
Changed
Greatly improves speed for the XFDF image deserialization process.
API
PSPDFKit now requires the Accelerate.framework. If you're using the PSPDFKit.xcconfig file, you don't need to change anything.
API
Search related methods are now in the new searchHighlightViewManager property of PSPDFViewController.
API
The HUD and related views have been reorganized. You might have to update some calls (some views are now within HUDView)
API
PSPDFProgressHUD has been replaced with the all-new PSPDFStatusHUD, which features a modern iOS 7 design and an improved API.
API
PSPDFDocument should be treated as an immutable object (apart from settings). Thus, the files and fileURL properties have been made readonly, and appendFile: has been removed. Create a new document with the new files/data objects instead. Use the new helper documentByAppendingObjects: to create a modified document with a new file or data objects.
API
The PSPDFAnnotationManager now supports various protocol strings, thus the property protocolString has been renamed to protocolStrings and is now an NSArray that takes NSStrings. We've added embed:// as a second, neutral protocol format.
API
The textSearch class has been moved from PSPDFDocument to PSPDFViewController.
API
PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewFixedSize has been removed. Notes are now drawn with a fixed size, however you can define the bounding box to whatever you like. We recommend using 32px, but this value is being ignored by both PSPDFKit and Adobe Acrobat. Other, less capable renderers like Apple Preview.app might use the value, so 32px is a good value - but also depends how large or small your document is.
API
The PSPDFSignatureViewController no longer dismisses itself. Dismiss the controller in the delegate callbacks.
API
Code and subclassing hooks that could be used to change the PSPDFScrobbleBar frame have been moved to PSPDFHUDView.

Changed
Expose cornerRadius in PSPDFResizableView to customize the border appearance.
Changed
Behavior Change: Setting the annotationSaveMode to PSPDFAnnotationSaveModeDisabled will no longer disable annotation editing features. To disable annotation editing, set the editableAnnotationTypes property of the PSPDFDocument to nil instead.

3.5.0 - 10 Feb 2014
See the announcement post.
API
The PSPDFAnnotationToolbar has been modularized and all state related code is now in PSPDFAnnotationStateManager, which is a property of PSPDFViewController.
You might have to update your subclasses to reflect these changes. PSPDFAnnotationStateManager should now be used instead of a headless PSPDFAnnotationToolbar if you have your own toolbar.
Added
New unified setBoundingBox:transform: method on PSPDFAnnotation. Adds a helper that transforms the font size on resizing.

3.3.0 - 29 Dec 2013
See the announcement post.
Happy holidays!
PSPDFKit now requires iOS 6+ and Xcode 5. Keep using PSPDFKit 3.2.x if you're still building with Xcode 4.6 or need to support iOS 5.
Apple will enforce usage of Xcode 5 starting February 1st. (https://developer.apple.com/news/index.php?id=12172013a)
Removing iOS 5 resulted in deleting almost 10.000 lines of code - which will give you a smaller, faster and more efficient binary.
The binary is now again fully universal including armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386 and x86_64.
The separate iOS 7 only (64 bit) library variant has been removed.
PSPDFKit Complete now supports PDF form signature validation and thus links with OpenSSL.
There is an optional build without OpenSSL that disables these cryptographic signature checks.
Changed
Localization! PSPDFKit now ships with English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Danish, German, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.
Added
Adds preliminary compatibility with Xcode 5.1 and iOS 7.1b2.
Changed
Refreshed visuals for both iOS 6 and iOS 7. The icons are now much more polished and can be better customized.
The remaining icons that were drawn in code are now all inside the PSPDFKit.bundle.
Changed
PSPDFKit Complete/Enterprise can now validate cryptographic signatures (unless you use the build without OpenSSL)
Changed
Changed
Finally fully supports the new UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance. (we now support both modes in iOS 7)
Changed
The PSPDFAnnotationToolbar now displays the style picker for text markup annotations (highlights).
Changed
The PSPDFGalleryViewController now supports local/remote video and audio files next to images.
Changed
The internal PSPDFWebViewController now shows a progress bar, much like Safari on iOS 7.
Changed
Improves automatic font resizing for single line text field form entries.
Changed
Improved support for additionalActions and nextAction to add actions to all annotation types.
Changed
API Change: PSPDFTextSelectionMenuActionWikipediaAsFallback has been renamed to PSPDFTextSelectionMenuActionWikipedia. Since checking for a word in UIReferenceLibraryViewController can be unpredictably slow as of iOS 7.0.3, we had to remove this feature. Define will now always be displayed and you can optionally enable Wikipedia as well. The new default will omit Wikipedia by default.
Changed
Don't show the PSPDFWebViewController bottom toolbar on iPhone if there are no availableActions defined.
Changed
Allow detection for a PSPDFKit signature and blocks the "Copy" feature if detected. Will also be saved into the PDF as proprietary extension.
Changed
If there's no signature saved and customer signature is disabled, we'll show the new signature controller instantly.
Added
Adds a new property: shouldCacheThumbnails to suppress thumbnail cache generation.
Added
Adds a new property: shouldHideHUDOnPageChange to fine-tine when the HUD is hidden.
Changed
Highlight etc is no longer offered on text selection if the document can't be saved.
Changed
Improves Form Element description in the annotation table view.
Changed
Allow "Clear Field" for Choice Form Elements with editable text.
Changed

Added
Add hitTestRectForPoint: on PSPDFPageView to allow customization of the rect that is used for tap hit testing to select annotations.
Changed
Make document parsing more robust to allow dealing with files that have incorrect XRef tables.
Changed

Changed
Changed
The note icon name is now properly serialized when using the XFDF annotation provider.
Changed
The XFDF provider now only saves if an annotation is changed. Deserialized annotations are set to be not dirty by default now.
Changed
Annotation and outline classes have been optimized to require less memory and reuse more objects internally.
Changed

Changed
Moves document parsing to a background thread, improves initial startup time for complex, large documents.
Changed
GoToR actions with target named destinations are now supported.
Changed
FreeText annotations are now correctly rendered and displayed even when their bounding box is too small for the text.
Changed
Audio recordings can now be time limited and the default encoding/bitrate can be customized in PSPDFAudioHelper.
Changed
The default set of stamps is now localizable and localized by default.
Changed
The Edit button in the annotation table view controller and the bookmark controller is now only enabled if there is content, and edit mode is automatically disabled when there's no more content.

Fixed
Fixes a rare crash in (poly)line point calculation if the points are on top of each other.
Fixed
Fixes an edge case where the text field would loose focus after the note annotation controller has been dismissed because of tapping into another text field.
Fixed
Fixes a regression where the selected annotation for multiple potentials was reversed.
Fixed
Fixes an issue where annotations with appearance stream could be rendered at the wrong position and/or size.
Fixed

Fixed
Fixes some localization issues with line endings in the Inspector.
3.2.2 - 24 Nov 2013
Changed
The gallery now allows image zooming when in full screen and requires less memory when loading remote images.
Changed
The gallery is now more customizable, allows custom background colors and recognizes @2x images when they are local.
Changed
The PSPDFDocumentSharingViewController will now use a temporary directory to save annotations into the PDF if it's in a non-writable location.
Changed
The password view now automatically shows the keyboard.
Changed
If annotations can't be embedded, the new annotation menu will not be displayed anymore (to be consistent with the PSPDFAnnotationBarButtonItem)
Changed
The runtime now better deals with multiple annotation subclasses that both change the behavior of a parent class. Use overrideClass:withClass: on PSPDFDocument to register such subclasses.
Changed
Set the default ink line width to 3, unless a default is already set.
Changed
Using undo/redo while in eraser mode will now also allow adding/removing of ink annotations.
Changed
The undo system will now commit expired actions that are coalesced. This fixes an issue where certain actions would appear undo-able quite late (e.g. first erase action)

Changed
PDF Signature Form elements are now tappable and will offer to add a ink annotation as signature.
Changed

Fixed
Fixes an issue where some text in form elements could render incorrectly when the page was rotated.

Fixed
Fixes an rare issue with writing annotations if inline UTF-16 (the special Adobe flavor) is used within the /Pages root object.
Changed
Titanium: Exposes printOptions, sendOptions and openInOptions from the corresponding PSPDF*BarButtonItems.
3.2.0 - 10 Nov 2013
Changed
Lots of improvements around sound annotations! Serialization, better selection, context menus, customization.
Changed
PSPDFAnnotationTableViewController: Dynamically calculate cell height and show multiple lines of description per cell.
Changed
YouTube and Web views now automatically reload themselves when a reachability change is detected.

Changed
The autodetectTextLinkTypes feature is now faster and will detect more types of phone numbers and URLs, including those that contain spaces/newlines between them.
Changed

Changed
PSPDFViewController will now auto-save annotations when the view is dismissed while contained in a child view controller.
Added
Add verticalTextAlignment to PSPDFFreeTextAnnotation. This is not defined in the PDF spec; so it will be a code-only option for now. PSPDFKit will save this into the PDF as a proprietary extension.

3.1.0 - 18 Oct 2013
Changed
Brand-new image gallery (define a region in the pdf to be covered by a smooth gallery). Allows configuration via inline-pdf or external JSON.
Changed
Use menu-based annotation manipulation for text markup annotations.
Changed
The way how the document UID is generated has been changed. Previously, for files it used the full app path. However since the app UID could change after an upgrade, we had to change this behavior. This is only important if you used bookmarks or allowed annotations saving into the internal storage - not for embedded annotation data. Set the global variable PSPDFUseLegacyUIDGenerationMethod to YES to continue using the old path. Those files are in Library/PrivateDocuments. You might want to write a custom migration step to rename the custom data paths from the old UID to the new UID system. The PSPDFUseLegacyUIDGenerationMethod can be changed at any time to switch between old and new UID (generate a new PSPDFDocument instance to force UID regeneration).
Changed
The file-based annotation backing store by default no longer saves link annotations but instead merges the saved annotations and the links from the file. This improves performance for PDFs that have lots of internal links (our current way of saving starts to get slow once there are more than 10.000 objects). In most cases, you don't need to care and your save file will be migrated automatically. If you rely on custom link annotations being saved/deleted, you need to set the new saveableTypes property of the fileAnnotationProvider back to the old default PSPDFAnnotationTypeAll.
Changed
The undo/redo buttons are now updated immediately after adding annotations.
Changed
The interactivePopGesture (new on iOS 7) is now disabled while we're drawing to prevent accidental usage.

When undo is disabled, the undo/redo buttons are now properly hidden when leaving the drawing mode.
Changed
No longer draws the arrow when flattening choice form elements.
Changed

Important! Currently PSPDFKit 3 requires that you set the key UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to false in your project Info.plist file. We're working on supporting view controller based status bar appearance in a future update.
Note: Several methods and constants have been updated and renamed to make the API cleaner.
Read the PSPDFKit 3.0 Migration Guide if you're updating from version 2.
Important: PSPDFKit 3 requires a serial number and will run in demo-mode by default.
Visit https://customers.pspdfkit.com to register your app bundle ID and get the serial.
If you are a PSPDFKit 2 customer with a license that includes a free PSPDFKit 3 update, please contact support@pspdfkit.com with your PET* purchase number to get an invite.
PSPDFKit 3 still supports iOS5, however we plan to drop support for it later this year.
We already see less than 5% usage and expect this number to drop further in the future.
With the release of PSPDFKit 3 we will focus development on this version and won't be able to offer support for version 2 anymore.
Most customers who bought PSPDFKit after January 14th are eligible for a free update,
if your update window is still open (6 months for Binary/Viewer, 12 months for Source/Enterprise)
Contact us with your PET* purchase number (or invoice ID) for details on your status.
