The different modes for the new [`PTToolsSettingsManager.PencilInteractionMode`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Tools.PTToolManager.html#pdftron_PDF_Tools_PTToolManager_PencilInteractionMode) setting are: The default Apple Pencil interaction mode is to obey the iOS Pencil system setting on iOS 14 and above, and to accept Pencil and finger touches on iOS 13 and below. * Apple Pencil and finger touches create annotations. * Apple Pencil touches create annotations, fingers pan and zoom. * The iOS Pencil system setting is obeyed. * Shape annotations (rectangle, ellipse, line, arrow) can now be created with a single tap when the respective shape creation tool is active. * App-wide settings in the [`PTToolsSettingsManager`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Utils.PTToolsSettingsManager.html) can now be accessed from the viewer via the [`AppSettingsButtonItem`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Controls.PTDocumentBaseViewController.html#pdftron_PDF_Controls_PTDocumentBaseViewController_AppSettingsButtonItem). By default, this item is hidden. The [`AppSettingsButtonHidden`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Controls.PTDocumentBaseViewController.html#pdftron_PDF_Controls_PTDocumentBaseViewController_AppSettingsButtonHidden) property can be used to show this item in the more-items list from the ellipsis button in the navigation bar. * The magnification loupe will not be shown when creating text markup annotations with an Apple Pencil. * It is now possible to specify the [`UIDatePickerStyle`](https://developer.apple.com/uikit/uidatepickerstyle?language=objc) for form widgets which use a date picker. This can be controlled with the following API: [`PTWidgetAnnotationOptions.PreferredDatePickerStyle`](https://sdk.apryse.com/api/xamarinios/tools/api/pdftron.PDF.Tools.PTWidgetAnnotationOptions.html#pdftron_PDF_Tools_PTWidgetAnnotationOptions_PreferredDatePickerStyle). --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.apryse.com/xamarin/changelogs/version-8/v8-1-0.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
