Xamarin.iOS

New features

• 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...
