  • Added

    Adds localized names for all recorded undoable commands. (#29454)

  • Added

    Adds support for transparent bar background changes on iOS 15 when PDFViewController is a direct child of a UINavigationController or a UITabBarController. For other view controller hierarchies, you should set your bar’s scrollEdgeAppearance to be the same as its standardAppearance. (#30749)

  • Added

    Adds an accessibilityIdentifier to all accessibility elements representing a FormElement. The accessibilityIdentifier matches the fullyQualifiedName of the corresponding form element — note that this will differ from the FQN of a form field to disambiguate the unique widgets of radio buttons, checkboxes, etc. (Z#27002)

  • Removed

    Removes the ⌘ ← key command to navigate back in PDFNavigationController when running on iOS 15+ because UIKit added its own ⌘ [ key command for this. (#30174)

  • Changed

    PDFNavigationController no longer sets a scrollEdgeAppearance, which means that the navigation bar has no background when scrolled to the top to match modern iOS design. (#30749)

  • Changed

    PDFViewController doesn’t try to become first responder when reloading on iOS 15+ since this is no longer necessary and can interfere with the UIKit focus system. (#30923)

    MultiDocumentViewController (the superclass of PDFTabbedViewController) can no longer become first responder because its child PDFViewController is a better candidate for first responder. (#30923)

  • Changed

    Updates UIKeyCommands provided by PSPDFKit to account for system changes in iOS 15. (#30174)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where a page label in the document editor was not updated during drag and drop reordering. (#30752)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where fonts were not correctly included in the PDF resulting in wrongly rendered free text annotations. (#30115)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where highlight annotations used the wrong blend mode after importing with Instant JSON. (#30537)

  • Fixed

    Fixes inaccessible files possibly being erroneously reported as corrupted. (#29556)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an out of bounds page index access that could occur during note annotation saving in multi-provider documents. (#30742)

  • Fixed

    Fixes annotations being rotated incorrectly when using a custom annotation provider and temporary rotation (setRotationOffset) and saving more than once. (#30730)

Examples

  • Fixed

    Fixes arrow key control not working in the Snake example. (#30552)

10.5.1 - 11 Aug 2021

  • Changed

    Improves freetext annotation rendering across PSPDFKit platforms by honoring the isFitting attribute from Instant JSON. (#28719)

  • Fixed

    Fixes the page render disk cache not inheriting the file protection level of the cache directory and instead using the default protection level of the container as set in the entitlements file. This only applies to newly cached images. To ensure old cached images are not using an incorrect protection level, please either clear the disk cache or enumerate the contents of the cache directory and set the file protection level as desired. (#30430)

  • Fixed

    Fixes the PDF table of contents (outline) linking to the wrong page in certain documents. (#30070)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare crash that may happen when rendering certain PDFs. (#29843)

  • Fixed

    Fixes XFDF annotations like lines without an explicit width attribute not being rendered. In these cases, PSPDFKit now mimics Acrobat’s behavior and implies a line width of 1 pt. (#30291, Z#25968)

  • Removed

    Deprecates all API related to page grabber: PDFViewController.pageGrabberController, PageGrabber, PageGrabberView, PageGrabberController, PDFConfiguration.pageGrabberEnabled and PDFView.pageGrabberEnabled. These are no longer needed because the scroll indicator from UIScrollView supports dragging on iOS 13 and later. (#30004)

  • Removed

    Deprecates appearanceManager(_:applyAppearanceSettingsForMode:) and appearanceManager(_:updateConfiguration:forMode:) methods of AppearanceModeManagerDelegate since they are replaced by the overrideUserInterfaceStyle property on UIView and UIViewController on iOS 13 and later. (#29820)

  • Removed

    Deprecates tabBarStyle from PDFTabbedBar. (#29820)

  • Added

    Adds pageDescriptionProvider and selectedPagesDescriptionProvider properties on DocumentSharingConfiguration to enable customizing how pages are described in the sharing UI. See the new PageLabelsInSharingExample.swift example in the Catalog for details. (#27826)

  • Removed

    Removes full-page 3D Touch previews from AnnotationTableViewController, BookmarkViewController, OutlineViewController and SearchViewController. 3D Touch will now show a contextual menu instead. (#29892)

  • Changed

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the Instant JSON would contain redundant data after removing a form field. (#29671)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where undo and redo stacks would persist in an invalid state after saving changes in the Document Editor. (#29691)

Instant

  • Added

    Adds support for Instant Document Permissions. (#29983)

  • Added

    Adds support for the (optional) creator_name claim in JWTs: Documents managed by Instant now reflect this value in their defaultAnnotationUsername property, if it is encoded in the JWT. As a result, all annotations and comments locally created in this Document will report this value as their creator. (#29507)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a lock inversion that could lead to a deadlock. (#29743)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where locally created Instant comment markers could end up appearing as regular note annotations. (#30010)

9.4.0 - 16 Jun 2020

See the announcement post.

This release adds the Reader View component, as well as Office Files Support. If you would like to obtain PSPDFKit Server or add either to your license, ping our sales team to receive a quote.

In preparation for iOS 14, this version of PSPDFKit now drops support for iOS 11. It also requires and is built with Xcode 11.5 (11E608c). PSPDFKit and PSPDFKitUI now also come with a stable module interface. This enables linking with PSPDFKit frameworks, even if the Swift compiler version used in your application differs from the one we used to build the frameworks.

This release has some smaller breaking API changes. Please see our migration guide for details.

PSPDFKitUI

  • API

    Replaces the LinkAnnotationEditingContainerViewController.init(page:, selectedRects:) initializer with LinkAnnotationEditingContainerViewController.init(document:, pageIndex:, selectedRects:). Page objects cannot be created outside of PSPDFKit so the previous initializer was not usable as public API. (#24413)

  • API

    Changes the type of the pointSequences property on DrawView from [[NSValue]] to [[DrawingPoint]] in Swift (#23734)

  • API

    PSPDFDocumentViewLayoutPageMode has been renamed to PDFDocumentViewLayout.PageMode in Swift. (#23861)

  • Added

    Adds explanatory text at the bottom of PDFDocumentSecurityViewController when SDK.Setting.honorDocumentPermissions is disabled to clarify that restricting permissions will not change behavior in the app. To hide this message, use setLocalizationDictionary or setLocalizationClosure to use an empty string for the key DocumentSecurity_PermissionsDisabledExplanation. (#23857)

  • Fixed

    Fixed an issue where TextSelectionView.selectedText would return an empty string instead of nil if no text was selected. (#23946)

  • Changed

    Text to speech now uses a more accurate way to autodetect the document language. (#24223)

  • Removed

    Removes the optionsView property from PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewController(SubclassingHooks) because returning any other value would lead to a crash. (#19841)

  • Removed

    Removes the declarations of -configureZoomView:forSpreadIndex:, and -configureScrollView: from PSPDFDocumentViewLayout(Subclassing). These methods were unimplemented, and not used internally. Calling them would have lead to an “unrecognized selector” crash. (#19841)

PSPDFKit

  • API

    The distinction between standard stamps and custom text stamps has been clarified with the following deprecations and replacements. If you previously used the stamp subject consider whether you want a standard or custom text stamp. For standard stamps, subject has been deprecated in favor of stampType and the value of this property should usually be one of the values defined by the new PSPDFStampType string enum. PSPDFKit will provide the localized title for standard stamps. localizedSubject has been deprecated in favor of title. Set the title instead of stampType for custom text stamps, where you provide a title that has already been localized or user-generated. subtext has been deprecated in favor of subtitle. (#15895)

  • Removed

    Deprecates shouldBeginEditModeWhenPresented on PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewController, and showNoteControllerForAnnotation:showKeyboard:animated: in favor of showNoteControllerForAnnotation:animated: on PSPDFPageView, as choosing to show the keyboard is now decided based on heuristics, if the user might want to start editing.

  • Changed

    Improves type safety by removing the __kindof type annotation from -[PSPDFDrawView annotations], -[PSPDFPageView passthroughViewsForPopoverController], and -[PSPDFPageView selectedAnnotations]. This only affects Objective-C. (#14490)

  • Changed

    Changing page by tapping on page edges is now disabled by default. To enable this, change PSPDFConfiguration.scrollOnTapPageEndEnabled to YES. (#14418)

  • Changed

  • Changed

    Ensures that the optional analytics provider tracks log deletion for all cases. (#14817)

  • API

    Adds isGenerated to PSPDFGlyph to check if the glyph is an autogenerated filler. (#14606)

  • API

    PSPDFGlyph.indexOnPage is not -1 to indicate that it is a generated filler. Use PSPDFGlyph.isGenerated instead. indexOnPage can now be used to uniquely identify a glyph on a page, and is the index of the glyph in the PSPDFTextParser.glyphs array. (#14606)

  • Removed

    Deprecates PSPDFAnnotationOptionUserCreatedKey. (#14669)

  • Changed

    The relationship between PSPDFXFDFAnnotationProvider and PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider is now more explicit. If you use XFDF for form filling, you now need to keep around both providers. Furthermore, the annotation manager now only saves into the first annotation provider implementing the save method. Previously all were called, which could have led to incorrect results. (#14323)

    Adds PSPDFAESCryptoDataSink. (#13912)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the deletion of an annotation could not be undone properly. Important: Calling removeAnnotations:options: on a PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider no longer posts PSPDFAnnotationChangedNotification! Deleted annotations are still being returned from dirtyAnnotations until the next save — like before. They are, however, not returned from annotationsForPageAtIndex: anymore. This behavior is also far less surprising. (#14305)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a document corruption bug when the document has a header and is incrementally saved. (#14249)
