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)

• 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...

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:

1Failed to initialize Apryse: Exception: 
2  Message: Bad License Key. PDFNet SDK will work in demo mode. For more
3information please see https://community.apryse.com/t/license-key-exception/3376

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.
