Breaking changes

• [PDFNet.initialize](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/android/javadoc/reference/com/pdftron/pdf/PDFNet.html#initialize(android.content.Context, int, java.lang.String))no longer accepts null or empty license keys. A valid demo or commercial license key is required at all times.
• Apryse core library has been repackaged to a single pdftron.aar file (full/pdftron.aar and standard/pdftron.aar). To learn more about how to integrate with latest Apryse library, see the manual integration guide. The following files that were required from previous release are no longer needed and should be removed from your project:

  • libs/PDFNet.jar
  • jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libPDFNetC.so
  • jniLibs/armeabi/libPDFNetC.so
  • jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libPDFNetC-v7a.so
  • jniLibs/x86/libPDFNetC.so
  • jniLibs/x86_64/libPDFNetC.so
  • res/raw/pdfnet.res
  • res/raw/pdftron_layout_resources.plugin
  • res/raw/pdftron_smart_substitution.plugin
• PDFViewCtrlTools (tools.aar) project is using vector drawables from the support library, if your application does not have this yet, add the following to your module Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle):

Groovy

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
}

• The minimum API requirement has been changed to API 16, your app will run on approximately 99.2% of devices.

  • PDFViewCtrlTools.aar -> tools.aar
