Xamarin.iOS

New features

• It is now possible to scroll and zoom using two fingers, making concurrent annotating and viewing a seamless experience.
• Free-text improvements: - When editing a text annotation, its bounding box will automatically grow to accomodate the new text. - Tapping on a selected text annotation will enter edit mode.

  • There is a new keyboard accessory view that allows convenient access to changing the font face, size and color.

• PencilKit annotations that include only highlight annotations are now multiply-blended with the document (as opposed to alpha-blended), giving them an appearance that more accurately resembles a real-life highlighter. This behavior can be toggled using the PencilHighlightMultiplyBlendModeEnabled property on the PTToolsSettingsManager class.

• When viewing a PDF in horizontal scrolling mode, the page will be scaled down so that the entire page is visible. This behavior can be controlled via the PageFitsBetweenBars property on the PTDocumentBaseViewController class.
• This release turns on color management by default, using a new highly accurate CMYK color profile. This will ensure CMYK color space PDFs are displayed with accurate colors, at the cost of very slightly slower rendering. If desired, this can be turned off with PDFNet.SetColorManagement(e_no_cms).
• Numeric and date form fields will now automatically show a numeric or date picking keyboard. Numeric fields restrict input to numeric characters.
