Version 8.1.2.76990 Changelog (March 10th, 2021)

• Version: 8.1.2.76990

• Release Date: March 10th, 2021

• Built with Xcode 12.3 (12C33)

Packaging and Distribution

• Apryse is now distributed as an .xcframework. This is now the recommended way to integrate Apryse with your project.

• The new .xcframework includes support for macOS Catalyst, and includes a macOS arm slice for the M1.

• Apryse is available via the Swift Package Manager system via pdftron-apple-package. Details on integrating via SPM are available as part of our integration guide.

New

• Includes a new SmartPen tool that will highlight text when used on text, and draw ink when used elsewhere.

• Images on the pasteboard can now be pasted as stamp annotations.

• MacReader, our macOS Catalyst app, is now included.

• The tab key can be used to navigate between form fields.

• The PTDocumentController's more items now uses a pulldown menu on iOS 14+.

• A new API, allowBluetoothPermissionPrompt, can be used to block bluetooth permission prompt.

• Undo/redo buttons are now hidden when the undo manager is disabled.

• The collaboration annotation list now indicates when there are no annotations.

• Adds a new PTAnnotEditToolDelegate method annotEditTool:shouldRenderAnnotationAsVector:onPageNumber: to control how annotation's selected appearance is drawn: via a bitmap generated by the PDF renderer, or as a vector in the iOS UI. This is useful when annotations are given custom appearances.

Bug fixes

• Fixes an issue when using the Ink tool from the long-press menu when the Apple Pencil setting was set to System.

• Fixes an issue where ink or polyline annotations could get lost if an annotation were selected from the annotation list before the annotation had been written back to the document.

• Fixes a small discrepancy between how a cloudy annotation appeared when it was selected and not.

• Fixes free text borders being drawn too thin.

• Fixes free text property editing when using the keyboard accessory view's controls.

• When an annotation is pasted, the new annotation's author is now set to the current author.

• The long-press menu option to search for the selected text is only shown when the PTToolManagerDelegate method -viewControllerForToolManager: is implemented, preventing what would previously have resulted in a crash.

• Keyboard accessory view will no longer appear outside the safe area (relevant when using a hardware keyboard).

• Eliminates extraneous annotation modified notifications that occurred when the style picker was opened but no annotation modifications were made.
