Integrating PSPDFKit Manually

The simplest way to integrate PSPDFKit is to use CocoaPods. If you prefer or require a manual setup, please follow the steps below.

Log in to the PSPDFKit Customer Portal and download the latest version of the PSPDFKit for macOS framework. You should now have PSPDFKit-macOS.dmg on your file system.

  1. Open PSPDFKit-macOS.dmg.
  2. Add PSPDFKit.framework to your Xcode project.
  3. Drag PSPDFKit.framework to Embedded Binaries (in the General tab of your target).
  4. Build and run.

If you are using Swift, consider adding our optional PSPDFKitSwift wrapper.

Integrating with Tests

If you need to integrate PSPDFKit into your test targets, just add PSPDFKit.framework to the Link Binaries With Libraries build phase (in the Build Phases tab of your test target).
