Version 7.1.0.74186 Changelog (February 27th, 2020)

• Version: 7.1.0.74186

• Release Date: February 26th, 2020

• Built with Xcode 11.3.1 (11C505)

New

• Support for multiple saved signatures.

• Ability to scroll and zoom while drawing with PencilKit.

• A new freehand highlighter tool. This uses "multiply blend" to ensure dark PDF content remains dark, and is particularly useful when highlighting scanned documents.

• Support for viewer-optimized PDFs, where a remote document can be loaded in ~3 seconds, regardless of size or page complexity.

• Support for viewing XPS and XOD files. (XOD is a web-optimized file format used by some deployments of WebViewer).

• Automatic initialization: it is no longer necessary to call PDFNet.initialize on startup when running in demo mode. (It is still required to register a purchased license key.)

• Core cross-platform improvements including:

  • Digital signature verification.

  • Much improved conversion quality for PPT files, and improved conversion quality for all other Office file formats.

  • And much more...

Above: Multiple saved signatures

Known Issues

When PDFNet is auto-initialized into demo mode by default, a console message will be printed which appears to indicate that the commercial license key used with PTPDFNet.initialize() is invalid:

Shell

Failed to initialize Apryse: Exception: 
  Message: Bad License Key. PDFNet SDK will work in demo mode. For more

This message is currently part of the PDFNet auto-initialization process and can be ignored. It will be fixed in the next official release of the SDK.

If you are using a commercial license key, your key will be applied correctly and no watermarking on pages will appear.
