This release of Apryse for Xamarin brings the core PDF functionality and iOS and Android Tools functionality inline with version 8.1.2 of the iOS and Android SDKs. More information can be found on What's New for iOS and What's New for Android .

• Adds API to set default stylus tool mode, default to ink tool
• Adds ability to quickly add/remove items in the menu editor

• Adds ability to close inactive tabs
• Adds API to show/hide tabs on phones, default to false
• Adds API to show/hide scrollbar when scrolling and zooming, default to false
• Adds style attribute showAddBookmarkMenuItem to hide add bookmark menu item in the thumbnails browser

• 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.
• 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, PTToolManager.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.

• 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.
