PSPDFKit now requires and is built with Xcode 15.2.

  • Added

    Adds privacy manifests for all our frameworks. (J#IOS-26)

  • Removed

    Removes APIs that were deprecated in PSPDFKit 11.4 and 11.5. For more information see the migration guide. (#42617)

PSPDFKitUI

  • API

    Calling WebViewController.modalWebView(with:) on a subclass of WebViewController no longer attempts to create an instance of the subclass. (Z#39981)

  • API

    Changes timestamps from DrawView.timePoints to be relative to the first touch (so they start at zero) instead of using Unix timestamps. This was done to avoid use of ProcessInfo.systemUptime which is a “required reason” API. (J#IOS-26)

  • Added

    Adds dashArray, lineEnd1, lineEnd2, and fillColor (line end color) to the default propertiesForAnnotations for measurement annotations, which makes these properties editable in the annotation inspector. (Z#107080)

  • Added

    Adds PDFConfiguration.mainToolbarMode on visionOS that can be used to display toolbar items such as annotation tool, document editing, etc. in the navigation bar or in an ornament anchored to the top of the main window. See our guide for more details. (#43078)

  • Added

    Adds PDFViewController.setMainToolbarOrnamentItems(_:for:) to configure the toolbar items in the ornament anchored to the top of the main window. This can use the new in-built ornament items such as PDFViewController.annotationOrnamentItem, bookmarkOrnamentItem. See our guide for more details. (#43080)

  • Added

    Adds annotation and document editor toolbars as ornaments on visionOS. (J#IOS-134)

  • Added

    Adds hover feedback for visionOS throughout the UI, including in the thumbnail view mode, scrubber bar, and various toolbars. (J#IOS-119, J#IOS-120, J#IOS-121, J#IOS-122)

  • Added

    Adds tabs to main toolbar ornament when using PDFTabbedViewController on visionOS. (J#IOS-149)

PSPDFKit

  • API

    Changes the signature of the unlockCertificateChain(withPassword:) async API to be synchronous as it does not carry out any tasks asynchronously. (#42978)

  • API

    Removes .widthInsensitive from the default value of TextSearch.compareOptions because this option is not compatible with smart search, which is enabled by default. This will have no effect on behavior unless you’re disabling smart search by removing .regularExpression from this option set. (J#IOS-193)

  • API

    The implementations of NSCopying in Document, TextSearch, and PageLabelFormatter will no longer return instances of subclasses. This was unsafe because subclasses may have additional initialization requirements. (Z#39981)

  • API

    PDFViewController.present(with:options:sender:animated:configurationBlock:) will no longer present an instance of a subclass of PDFViewController. If you need to use your subclass, override this method. (Z#39981)

    Fixes inaccessible files possibly being erroneously reported as corrupted. (#29556)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an out of bounds page index access that could occur during note annotation saving in multi-provider documents. (#30742)

  • Fixed

    Fixes annotations being rotated incorrectly when using a custom annotation provider and temporary rotation (setRotationOffset) and saving more than once. (#30730)

Examples

  • Fixed

    Fixes arrow key control not working in the Snake example. (#30552)

    Improves freetext annotation rendering across PSPDFKit platforms by honoring the isFitting attribute from Instant JSON. (#28719)

  • Fixed

    Fixes the page render disk cache not inheriting the file protection level of the cache directory and instead using the default protection level of the container as set in the entitlements file. This only applies to newly cached images. To ensure old cached images are not using an incorrect protection level, please either clear the disk cache or enumerate the contents of the cache directory and set the file protection level as desired. (#30430)

  • Fixed

    Fixes the PDF table of contents (outline) linking to the wrong page in certain documents. (#30070)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare crash that may happen when rendering certain PDFs. (#29843)

Instant

  • Added

    Adds support for Instant Document Permissions. (#29983)

  • Added

    Adds support for the (optional) creator_name claim in JWTs: Documents managed by Instant now reflect this value in their defaultAnnotationUsername property, if it is encoded in the JWT. As a result, all annotations and comments locally created in this Document will report this value as their creator. (#29507)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a lock inversion that could lead to a deadlock. (#29743)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where locally created Instant comment markers could end up appearing as regular note annotations. (#30010)

The form elements can still be addressed individually by appending .x to the (fully qualified) name of the form field, where x is the index of the form element in the annotations property of the PSPDFFormField. (#22755)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where popup annotations were positioned incorrectly. (#22730)

    PSPDFPageView is no longer guaranteed to conform to PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewControllerDelegate. (#5721)

  • Removed

    Deprecates PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewController’s allowEditing, beginEditing, showCopyButton, deleteAnnotationActionTitle, deleteAnnotation:, deleteOrClearAnnotationWithoutConfirmation, textView, and borderColor. (#5721)

  • Removed

    Deprecates shouldBeginEditModeWhenPresented on PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewController, and showNoteControllerForAnnotation:showKeyboard:animated: in favor of showNoteControllerForAnnotation:animated: on PSPDFPageView, as choosing to show the keyboard is now decided based on heuristics, if the user might want to start editing.

  • Changed

    Improves the layout of the search view controller on devices with bottom safe area insets. (#12969)

  • Changed

    Improves type safety by removing the __kindof type annotation from -[PSPDFDrawView annotations], -[PSPDFPageView passthroughViewsForPopoverController], and -[PSPDFPageView selectedAnnotations]. This only affects Objective-C. (#14490)

  • Changed

    Changing page by tapping on page edges is now disabled by default. To enable this, change PSPDFConfiguration.scrollOnTapPageEndEnabled to YES. (#14418)

  • Changed

  • Changed

    Ensures that the optional analytics provider tracks log deletion for all cases. (#14817)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue that could result in a crash when the size class changes while in a page curl layout. (#14555)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue that makes the page curl left or right align pages even though it is in single page mode. (#14555)

  • Fixed

    Fixes annotations shown as overlays (notes) not respecting the Invisible, Hidden, and NoView flags. (#5721)

PSPDFKit

  • API

    Renames PSPDFSignatureHashAlgorithmSHA386 to PSPDFSignatureHashAlgorithmSHA384 which is actually the correct name. (#13932)

  • API

    tryLoadAnnotationsFromFileWithError: has been removed from PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider. Use loadAnnotationsWithError: instead to customize annotation loading. (#14570)

  • API

    Adds isGenerated to PSPDFGlyph to check if the glyph is an autogenerated filler. (#14606)

  • API

    PSPDFGlyph.indexOnPage is not -1 to indicate that it is a generated filler. Use PSPDFGlyph.isGenerated instead. indexOnPage can now be used to uniquely identify a glyph on a page, and is the index of the glyph in the PSPDFTextParser.glyphs array. (#14606)

  • Removed

    Deprecates PSPDFAnnotationOptionUserCreatedKey. (#14669)

  • Removed

    Deprecates PSPDFTextBlock.glyphs, PSPDFWord.glyphs, and PSPDFSelectionState.selectedGlyphs in favor of NSRange-based APIs. (#14606)

  • Changed

    Performance improvements for documents with many data sources. (#14651)

  • Changed

    Removing an annotation with removeAnnotations:options: on PSPDFAnnotationManager or PSPDFDocument now also removes replies to that annotation. (#14385)

  • Changed

    The relationship between PSPDFXFDFAnnotationProvider and PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider is now more explicit. If you use XFDF for form filling, you now need to keep around both providers. Furthermore, the annotation manager now only saves into the first annotation provider implementing the save method. Previously all were called, which could have led to incorrect results. (#14323)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a crash that could happen during application termination. (#14483)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a lock inversion when setting up the document providers. (#14525)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where some PSPDFDocumentSecurityOptions initializers would sometimes return nil. (#14646)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the documents features sometimes returned an incorrect value when called right after creating a PSPDFDocument. (#14574)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where using a custom bookmark provider with readonly documents disabled adding and editing bookmarks. (#14574)

  • Fixed

    Fixes animated GIF images support in the gallery. (#13897)

  • Fixed

    Fixes document corruption issue when document has a header and is incrementally saved. (#14249)

  • Fixed

    Fixes pages not being centered when zooming is disabled in landscape. (#14091)

Instant

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where pages had a gap between them in page curl layout. (#13329)

PSPDFKit

  • Added

    Adds PSPDFAESCryptoDataSink. (#13912)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the deletion of an annotation could not be undone properly. Important: Calling removeAnnotations:options: on a PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider no longer posts PSPDFAnnotationChangedNotification! Deleted annotations are still being returned from dirtyAnnotations until the next save — like before. They are, however, not returned from annotationsForPageAtIndex: anymore. This behavior is also far less surprising. (#14305)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a document corruption bug when the document has a header and is incrementally saved. (#14249)

  • Fixed

    Fixes Catalog “XFDF Annotation Provider, Encrypted” example. (#13912)

    Fixes issue where pdfId was required when importing a Instant JSON document. (#14494)

  • Fixed

    Fixes potential deadlocks during annotation rendering. (#14534)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where opening large documents with marked content used very large amounts of memory. (#14415)

  • Fixed

    Fixes potential deadlocks when opening a lot of documents. (#14503)

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where PSPDFFile.fileData did not lazily memory map the file data when being called from user code. (#14539)

5.0.0 - 23 Oct 2015

See the announcement post.

PSPDFKit 5 is a major new version, introducing our own renderer and focusing on improving performance. It requires Xcode 7.1 and is compatible with iOS 8.0 - 9.1. This release is a huge usability improvement with Swift but also Objective-C, as we annotated all headers with generics. This release now shares our new core with our Android SDK to further improve quality and performance.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit now uses its own PDF renderer and no longer uses Apple’s Core Graphics renderer, which means better performance, stability and quality. (#3737)

  • Changed

    Undo and redo now remember individual lines drawn instead of the previous behavior where undo removed the whole annotation, once committed. (#2825)

  • Changed

    The tabbed bar has been completely redesigned and now supports animations and reordering, not to mention it being much prettier. (#665)

  • Changed

    View controllers are now presented using UIPresentationController and are much easier to handle and dismiss. (#3519)

    • Changed

      We removed the popoverController and halfModalController properties, as these are now custom presentation styles.

  • Changed

    Popovers are no longer dismissed on rotation. (#3519)

  • Changed

    iOS 8 adaptivity is fully supported: view controllers swap between being popovers, half modal or full screen depending on context. (#3743)

    • Changed

      A new presentation option has been added to prevent view controllers from adapting their presentation style: PSPDFPresentationNonAdaptiveKey.

  • Changed

    The default presentation style has changed for presentViewController:options:animated:sender:completion: from PSPDFViewController and PSPDFPresentationActions. The default is now to use the presented view controller’s modalPresentationStyle, similar to the old PSPDFPresentationStyleForceModal style, which has been removed.

    • Changed

      To restore the equivalent of PSPDFKit’s previous default behavior (using either a popover or full screen, depending on the space available), set the presented view controller’s modalPresentationStyle to UIModalPresentationPopover.

  • Changed

    The annotation toolbar now automatically adapts its items depending on the available screen real estate. This change comes with a new API that allows setting multiple toolbar configurations amongst which the toolbar picks the optimal layout. (#3950)

  • Changed

    The free text input accessory view has been updated to show popover pickers whenever possible, with a fallback to the half modal inspector, if vertical space is tight. (#3987)

    • Changed

      Note: We noticed some input accessory view resizing issues on iPad Air 2 Simulator. We could not reproduce the same problems on actual devices.

  • Changed

    We’re using UIAlertController and UISearchController everywhere, replacing the older deprecated API for further view controller unification. (#3381)

  • Changed

    Automatic double page mode is smarter, comparing the aspect ratios of the view and the document and only showing two pages if they fit without too much shrinking. Automatic mode is now the default on iPhone too, but since two pages are only shown in large views the behavior will be similar.

  • Changed

    By default, page thumbnails are now sized adaptively to comfortably fill the available space.

  • Changed

    Instead of CGPDFDataProvider we now have a new PSPDFDataProvider protocol, which finally allows writing as well. (#3690)

    • Changed

      PSPDFAESCryptoDataProvider has been updated to allow writing annotations back into the secure storage.

  • Changed

    Safari view controller is used instead of PSPDFWebViewController on iOS 9.

  • Changed

    PSPDFScrobbleBar has been renamed to PSPDFScrubberBar to better express its purpose.

  • Changed

    Querying for the annotation author name has been moved to before the annotation toolbar is displayed. (#3544)

  • Changed

    Annotation creation can now be prevented on select PDF pages by adding a boolean key to the page dictionary (see allowAnnotationCreation on PSPDFPageInfo). (#4308)

  • Changed

    PSPDFAnnotationStateManager now supports multiple delegates and the delegate protocol gained some new methods. (#3607)

  • Changed

    The color menu is now represented visually, and uses the style manager color presets. (#2802, #2890)

  • Changed

    Switching between regular and callout styles for text annotations now produces better results and has been made easier with a redesigned UI. (#3664 and #3859)

  • Changed

    The annotation stream now gets properly reset when an annotation is modified, preventing stale content from being rendered on screen. (#3817)

  • Changed

    PSPDFDocumentActionExecutor’s presentationController has been renamed to sourceViewController to better describe its purpose and avoid confusion with UIPresentationController.

  • Changed

    The prefersStatusBarHidden property in the PSPDFStyleable protocol has been renamed to forcesStatusBarHidden to be distinct from the closely related UIViewController method of the same name.

  • Changed

    It is now possible to show color presents on PSPDFAnnotationStyleViewController, even if color and opacity settings are disabled. Color presets can still be hidden by adjusting typesShowingColorPresets. (#4108)

  • Changed

    Accessibility and voice over support has been improved on some of our key UI elements. (#3834)

  • Changed

    The author username is now requested earlier and managed via the new PSPDFUsernameHelper class.

  • Changed

    The border radius of PSPDFSearchHighlightView is now dynamically calculated based on the current zoom level and can be configured via cornerRadiusProportion.

  • Changed

    PSPDFImageInfo is now much more reliable and detects more image formats.

  • Changed

    PSPDFActions nextAction is now an array to correctly reflect the PDF spec, and the whole tree is iterated as required upon execution.

  • Changed

    PSPDFRenditionAction now also exposes optional attached javascripts.

  • Changed

    The hooks for markedContentStack and shouldParseCharacter: in the PSPDFTextParser have been removed since they were very rarely used but caused a noticeable slowdown for all text extraction. If there’s demand, we’ll look into ways to reintroduce a similar feature with less performance impact.

  • Changed

    prefersStatusBarHidden in PSPDFStyleable has been renamed to forcesStatusBarHidden to not confuse this with properties that UIKit recently introduced.

  • Changed

    Several annotation classes have new parent types to unify certain features, such as PSPDFAssetAnnotation and PSPDFAbstractShapeAnnotation.

  • Changed

    Small UI updates across the board. (For example, dark colors are easier to see in menus.)

  • Changed

    Various lesser-used API has been redesigned or removed for better clarity.

4.4.18 - 28 Oct 2015

This release will be one of our last v4 releases, while v5 for iOS 9/8 is steadily nearing completion with a huge list of updates/improvements. We backported the new bezier path calculation code, so ink annotations are quite a bit faster now. There’s a lot more coming soon!

  • Changed

    When invoking search, we now prioritize the current visible pages before searching the rest. Search results will show up significantly faster on complex documents. (Z#1829)

4.4.12 - 10 Aug 2015

  • Added

    Adds Slovenian translation.

  • Changed

    Improves compatibility exporting file attachment in XFDF with certain less standard compliant readers. (Z#1610)

4.4.11 - 31 Jul 2015

  • Added

    Adds Czech, Greek and Finnish translations and updates various other localization details.

  • API

    The rotationLock has been removed. Subclass PSPDFViewController and override the rotation methods and/or implement supportedInterfaceOrientationsForWindow: to lock rotation. Since PSPDFKit doesn’t own the application, yet this requires hooks to your app delegate, the previous implementation was flawed and subsequently removed.

  • Changed

4.4.7 - 24 Jun 2015

WWDC week! We’re hard at work to make sure PSPDFKit is a good citizen on iOS 9 and also grilled the UIKit engineers in San Francisco. This release features various first updates for the iOS 9.0b1 and Xcode 7. As usual, our strategy is to keep a stable PSPDFKit 4.4.x that works with SDK 8 (Xcode 6.3.2), supporting iOS 7, 8 and 9 (with some exceptions, like multitasking) - while at the same time we are also working on PSPDFKit 5, made for Xcode 7 and iOS 8+9. Expect PSPDFKit 5 some time in September before the iOS 9 GM.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue with saving annotations in certain PDFs with corrupted page IDs.

3.6.0 - 16 Mar 2014

See the announcement post.

We’re proud to ship the next milestone of PSPDFKit. Version 3.6 features a completely new annotation toolbar, search within annotation text, note annotations that show up in the thumbnails and countless other improvements. This release has been fully tested with Xcode 5.1 and iOS 7.1. We now require at least Xcode 5.0.2 and SDK 7 to compile and have dropped support for Xcode 4.6 (Apple no longer accepts apps built with SDK 6/Xcode 4.6) Applications built with PSPDFKit will still run and work great under iOS 6.

  • Changed

    Fully compatible and tested with iOS 7.1 and Xcode 5.1.

  • Changed

    God dag! We’ve added Swedish to the list of presupplied localization files.

  • Changed

    All-new flexible annotation toolbar (PSPDFFlexibleAnnotationToolbar) that can be dragged to be vertical or horizontal. See PSPDFAnnotationToolbarType in the PSPDFAnnotationBarButtonItem to optionally keep using the old annotation toolbar.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit Complete can now create digital signatures. This feature is still in beta - we need more documents to test all possible conditions. If you’re having issues with this, please contact us so we can further increase the test coverage.

  • Changed

    Text selection now supports text-to-speech on iOS 7+. See PSPDFSpeechSynthesizer for details and options to customize the language.

  • Changed

    Forms on iPhone/iOS 7 now have an automatic zoom feature that makes it a lot easier to enter text.

  • Changed

    Search now also includes annotation and form element contents. This is especially useful for note annotations and forms. (PSPDFKit Basic/Complete)

  • Changed

    Search results are now hidden on page tap (unless that tap finds an action like selecting an annotation.)

  • Changed

    Note annotations are now always rendered at the same size and also visible in the thumbnails.

  • Changed

    PDF annotation writing will now be faster and produce a more compact trailer, reducing target file size.

  • Added

    Adds support for mailto: links with multiple email addresses (also for CC and BCC).

  • Changed

    Saving will now use the correct z-index for annotations and forms in the same ordering as they are added. Saving changed objects will no longer change the z-ordering.

  • Changed

    Simple JavaScript actions like printing, alert boxes or adding form values now work. If you have a use case for that, please contact us at [email protected].

  • Changed

    The XFDF parser now parses basic rich text strings as used in Acrobat and keeps color and font informations.

  • Changed

    Increases contrast for the selection color on form choice list-boxes.

  • Changed

    PSPDFTextSelectionView now allows UIAppearance to customize selectionColor and selectionAlpha.

  • Changed

    The PSPDFActivityViewController now checks if printing is allowed for the document before even showing the print option.

  • Changed

    No longer ends the text view edit mode when zooming on iOS 7 (flat mode) and above.

  • Changed

    File annotations are now evaluated lazily, which improves startup performance for documents with many such annotations.

  • Changed

    Note annotations now also create popup annotation on PDF saving. These are optional but increase compatibility with certain less standard-compliant 3rd-party software.

  • Changed

    The behavior of the pdfViewController:didTapOnPage:View:atPoint: has been updated when no PSPDFPageView was hit to return nil here, and coordinates relative to the current PSPDFViewController.

  • Changed

    The PSPDFThumbnailBar has a new parameter to optionally enable the page labels: showPageLabels (defaults to NO).

  • Changed

    Many improvements related to PDF AcroForm handling and input validation.

  • Changed

    Calls to didHidePageView: and didShowPageView: of views with the PSPDFAnnotationViewProtocol are now properly balanced.

  • Changed

    The text parser now has a more sophisticated text shadow/overlay detection, which improves search results by removing duplicated glyphs.

  • Changed

    The gallery has a new mode that enables live-blur behind the content (see blurEnabled on PSPDFGalleryViewController).

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the popover might open at an unexpected location when using the inline multimedia system with the popover:true parameter.

  • Changed

    Font annotations are now rendered with their AP stream for greater document accuracy.

  • Changed

    Annotations now support the additional action mouse up event.

  • Changed

    Greatly improves speed for the XFDF image deserialization process.

  • API

    PSPDFKit now requires the Accelerate.framework. If you’re using the PSPDFKit.xcconfig file, you don’t need to change anything.

  • API

    Search related methods are now in the new searchHighlightViewManager property of PSPDFViewController.

  • API

    The HUD and related views have been reorganized. You might have to update some calls (some views are now within HUDView)

  • API

    PSPDFProgressHUD has been replaced with the all-new PSPDFStatusHUD, which features a modern iOS 7 design and an improved API.

  • API

    PSPDFDocument should be treated as an immutable object (apart from settings). Thus, the files and fileURL properties have been made readonly, and appendFile: has been removed. Create a new document with the new files/data objects instead. Use the new helper documentByAppendingObjects: to create a modified document with a new file or data objects.

  • API

    The PSPDFAnnotationManager now supports various protocol strings, thus the property protocolString has been renamed to protocolStrings and is now an NSArray that takes NSStrings. We’ve added embed:// as a second, neutral protocol format.

  • API

    The textSearch class has been moved from PSPDFDocument to PSPDFViewController.

  • API

    PSPDFNoteAnnotationViewFixedSize has been removed. Notes are now drawn with a fixed size, however you can define the bounding box to whatever you like. We recommend using 32px, but this value is being ignored by both PSPDFKit and Adobe Acrobat. Other, less capable renderers like Apple Preview.app might use the value, so 32px is a good value - but also depends how large or small your document is.

  • API

    The PSPDFSignatureViewController no longer dismisses itself. Dismiss the controller in the delegate callbacks.

  • API

    Code and subclassing hooks that could be used to change the PSPDFScrobbleBar frame have been moved to PSPDFHUDView.

3.4.0 - 18 Jan 2014

See the announcement post.

  • Changed

    The PSPDFVideoAnnotationView has been completely removed as the new PSPDFGallery takes over all of this functionality. PSPDFKit finally supports playback of multiple videos and/or audio tracks at the same time. (The total number of concurrent video streams is hardware dependent and is usually 4)

3.3.0 - 29 Dec 2013

See the announcement post.

Happy holidays!

PSPDFKit now requires iOS 6+ and Xcode 5. Keep using PSPDFKit 3.2.x if you’re still building with Xcode 4.6 or need to support iOS 5. Apple will enforce usage of Xcode 5 starting February 1st. (https://developer.apple.com/news/index.php?id=12172013a) Removing iOS 5 resulted in deleting almost 10.000 lines of code - which will give you a smaller, faster and more efficient binary.

The binary is now again fully universal including armv7, armv7s, arm64, i386 and x86_64. The separate iOS 7 only (64 bit) library variant has been removed.

PSPDFKit Complete now supports PDF form signature validation and thus links with OpenSSL. There is an optional build without OpenSSL that disables these cryptographic signature checks.

  • Changed

    Localization! PSPDFKit now ships with English, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Danish, German, Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese.

  • Added

    Adds preliminary compatibility with Xcode 5.1 and iOS 7.1b2.

  • Changed

    Refreshed visuals for both iOS 6 and iOS 7. The icons are now much more polished and can be better customized. The remaining icons that were drawn in code are now all inside the PSPDFKit.bundle.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit Complete/Enterprise can now validate cryptographic signatures (unless you use the build without OpenSSL)

  • Changed

    PSPDFAESCryptoDataProvider now supports the popular RNCryptor data format: https://github.com/rnapier/RNCryptor/wiki/Data-Format (It autodetects the legacy format and supports that as well)

  • Changed

    Finally fully supports the new UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance. (we now support both modes in iOS 7)

  • Changed

    The PSPDFAnnotationToolbar now displays the style picker for text markup annotations (highlights).

  • Changed

    The PSPDFGalleryViewController now supports local/remote video and audio files next to images.

  • Changed

    The internal PSPDFWebViewController now shows a progress bar, much like Safari on iOS 7.

  • Changed

    Improves automatic font resizing for single line text field form entries.

  • Changed

    Improved support for additionalActions and nextAction to add actions to all annotation types.

  • Changed

    API Change: PSPDFTextSelectionMenuActionWikipediaAsFallback has been renamed to PSPDFTextSelectionMenuActionWikipedia. Since checking for a word in UIReferenceLibraryViewController can be unpredictably slow as of iOS 7.0.3, we had to remove this feature. Define will now always be displayed and you can optionally enable Wikipedia as well. The new default will omit Wikipedia by default.

  • Changed

    Don’t show the PSPDFWebViewController bottom toolbar on iPhone if there are no availableActions defined.

  • Changed

    Allow detection for a PSPDFKit signature and blocks the “Copy” feature if detected. Will also be saved into the PDF as proprietary extension.

    The XFDF provider now only saves if an annotation is changed. Deserialized annotations are set to be not dirty by default now.

  • Changed

    Annotation and outline classes have been optimized to require less memory and reuse more objects internally.

  • Changed

    Lots of code cleaning, improved documentation and some reorganization. The binary is now smaller and compiles faster.

  • Changed

    If annotations can’t be embedded, the new annotation menu will not be displayed anymore (to be consistent with the PSPDFAnnotationBarButtonItem)

  • Changed

    The runtime now better deals with multiple annotation subclasses that both change the behavior of a parent class. Use overrideClass:withClass: on PSPDFDocument to register such subclasses.

  • Changed

    Text field form elements now resize as we are typing and better render multi-lined text.

  • Changed

    PDF Signature Form elements are now tappable and will offer to add a ink annotation as signature.

  • Changed

    API change: Renamed showNewSignatureMenuAtPoint:animated: with showNewSignatureMenuAtRect:animated:. Use a rect with size zero to get the previous behavior.

  • API

    Some subclassing hooks that have been declared but weren’t called have been properly removed.

  • Changed

    Undo/Redo is disabled by default on old devices to improve performance. (Notably, the iPad 1 with iOS 5.)

  • Changed

    Improves error handling for corrupt or missing PDFs.

  • Changed

    Using the HSV color picker while brightness is set all the way to 0% (black) will do the smart thing to switch to the pure color with 100% brightness.

    Improves support for various Forms that define the form element across multiple objects.

  • Changed

    Improves the touch-down-highlight for form elements.

  • Changed

    Allows overriding of PSPDFTextSelectionView.

  • Changed

    Improves text extraction for highlight annotations when there are multiple overlapping rects.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where under certain conditions the navigationBar was not displayed initially.

3.1.1 - 19 Oct 2013

  • Changed

    Restores compatibility when compiling with Xcode 4.6.

    Fixes an UX issue where dismissing the activity popover in the web view controller via a touch on the dimming view sometimes required a second touch on the action button to re-show.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue when adding annotation views for invalid rects.

3.1.0 - 18 Oct 2013

  • Changed

    Brand-new image gallery (define a region in the pdf to be covered by a smooth gallery). Allows configuration via inline-pdf or external JSON.

  • Changed

    Use menu-based annotation manipulation for text markup annotations.

  • Changed

    The way how the document UID is generated has been changed. Previously, for files it used the full app path. However since the app UID could change after an upgrade, we had to change this behavior. This is only important if you used bookmarks or allowed annotations saving into the internal storage - not for embedded annotation data. Set the global variable PSPDFUseLegacyUIDGenerationMethod to YES to continue using the old path. Those files are in Library/PrivateDocuments. You might want to write a custom migration step to rename the custom data paths from the old UID to the new UID system. The PSPDFUseLegacyUIDGenerationMethod can be changed at any time to switch between old and new UID (generate a new PSPDFDocument instance to force UID regeneration).

  • Changed

    The file-based annotation backing store by default no longer saves link annotations but instead merges the saved annotations and the links from the file. This improves performance for PDFs that have lots of internal links (our current way of saving starts to get slow once there are more than 10.000 objects). In most cases, you don’t need to care and your save file will be migrated automatically. If you rely on custom link annotations being saved/deleted, you need to set the new saveableTypes property of the fileAnnotationProvider back to the old default PSPDFAnnotationTypeAll.

  • Changed

    The undo/redo buttons are now updated immediately after adding annotations.

  • Changed

    The interactivePopGesture (new on iOS 7) is now disabled while we’re drawing to prevent accidental usage.

  • Changed

    The outline controller now properly shows page destinations above page 10.000.

  • Changed

    Hides a harmless log warning when PSPDFKit tried to render an annotation with an empty width/height.

  • Changed

    When undo is disabled, the undo/redo buttons are now properly hidden when leaving the drawing mode.

  • Changed

    No longer draws the arrow when flattening choice form elements.

  • Changed

    Restores sound annotations that were added via the pspdfkit:// protocol.

Important! Currently PSPDFKit 3 requires that you set the key UIViewControllerBasedStatusBarAppearance to false in your project Info.plist file. We’re working on supporting view controller based status bar appearance in a future update.

Note: Several methods and constants have been updated and renamed to make the API cleaner. Read the PSPDFKit 3.0 Migration Guide if you’re updating from version 2.

Important: PSPDFKit 3 requires a serial number and will run in demo-mode by default. Visit https://my.pspdfkit.com to register your app bundle ID and get the serial. If you are a PSPDFKit 2 customer with a license that includes a free PSPDFKit 3 update, please contact [email protected] with your PET* purchase number to get an invite.

PSPDFKit 3 still supports iOS5, however we plan to drop support for it later this year. We already see less than 5% usage and expect this number to drop further in the future.

With the release of PSPDFKit 3 we will focus development on this version and won’t be able to offer support for version 2 anymore. Most customers who bought PSPDFKit after January 14th are eligible for a free update, if your update window is still open (6 months for Binary/Viewer, 12 months for Source/Enterprise) Contact us with your PET* purchase number (or invoice ID) for details on your status.

  • Fixed

    Fixes placement of the image and signature picker for rotated documents.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare issue where a annotation could stuck in an invisible state because of a bug in the trackedView when selecting + scrolling happened at the same time.

    Add write support for Polygon/Polyline annotations. (In the API, there’s no UI for creating yet, but editing the points works)

  • Added

    Add new PSPDFThumbnailBar to display scrollable thumbnails as an alternative to the scrobbleBar. The thumbnail bar is a preview and might change API/Featureset in the next releases. We have some big plans for this but couldn’t wait to get it out of the door!

  • Changed

    The PSPDFOutlineViewController now no longer shows a title on iPad if no modes are set. As a detail, its search bar now is named as “Search Outline” instead of just “Search”.

  • Changed

    FreeText annotation is now correctly rotated on rotated PDF pages and also respects the annotation rotation setting (0, 90, 180, 270).

  • Fixed

    Fix password view state positioning when the keyboard is up and the parent resizes itself.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a potential regression/assertion when the PSPDFViewController was used without a navigationController.

    Fixes an regression where words with ligatures (like the ffi liagure glyph) would be split into two words with certain encodings.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a race condition that could lead to a warning named ‘ deallocated while still in use’.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a line annotation serialization issue where line endings would only be serialized if both are set.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue for Copy/Paste where preexisting annotations could disappear after they have been copied and edited.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an exception in the PDF parser if a PDF with a corrupt stream object is analyzed.

2.14.0 - 12 May 2013

  • Added

    Add support to Copy/Paste annotations. This creates a global UIPasteboard and will work for all apps that use the PSPDFKit framework with 2.14 and up. Alternatively a JSON object is created as well, so that other applications can add support to parse and support PSPDFKit-style-annotations as well.

  • Changed

    Paste also supports general pasteboard types like Text, URL or Image and will create the appropriate annotations (if this is allowed)

  • Added

    New global PSPDFStyleManager that saves various annotation properties and applies them to new annotations. For example, if you change the color of a highlight to red, all future annotations are created red until you change the color back. This already worked in the PSPDFAnnotationToolbar before but is now unified and applied globally (will also save properties like fillColor or fontName). You can disable this with nilling out the styleKeys property of PSPDFStyleManager.

  • Changed

    The PSPDFFreeTextAnnotationView is now always sharp, even when zoomed in. Because we have to work around the broken contentsScale property, the API has changed a bit.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a situation where touch handling could become sluggish when a crazy amount of link annotation is on a page (>500!)

  • Fixed

    Fixes a annotation text encoding issue that could result in breaking serialization of certain character combinations like 小森.

  • Fixed

    The render queue now retains the document while rendering. This fixes cases where image requests never returned because the document disappeared before.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a regression from 2.10 where through an event optimization sometimes the text of a note annotation was not properly saved. PSPDFDocument now sends out a PSPDFDocumentWillSaveNotification before a save will be made to give all open editors a chance to persist it’s last state in time.

  • Changed

    FreeText annotations can now no longer be created outside boundaries.

  • Added

    Add support for text alignment for FreeText annotations. (It seems that Adobe Acrobat has a bug here and ignores this property - other Applications are compliant to the PDF spec and do display this, e.g. Apple’s Preview.app)

  • Changed

    Edit mode now directly hides the HUDView.

  • Changed

    API change: The color picker now has a context: flag to allow state storage. Update your delegates if you use this class directly.

  • Changed

    Titanium: Add new linkAnnotationHighlightColor property.

2.10.0 - 22 Mar 2013

PSPDFKit 2.10 is another major milestone. The cache has been rewritten from the ground up to be both faster and more reliable. Annotations are now cached, they are no longer an “afterthought” and will show up in the thumbnails and even the scrobble bar. The disk cache now limits itself to 500MB (this is customizable) and cleans up the least recently used files. The memory cache is now also smarter and better limits itself to a fixed number of pixels (~50MB of modern devices in the default setting). Loading images from the cache is now more logical and highly customizable with PSPDFCacheOptions. The two render code paths have been unified, PSPDFRenderQueue now does all rendering and can now render multiple requests at the same time and also prioritizes between low priority cache requests and high priority user zoom requests. In this process some very old code has been completely reworked (PSPDFGlobalLock) and is now much more solid. Several methods have been renamed, upgrading will require a little bit of effort to adapt to the new method names. It’s definitely worth it. If you find any regressions or missing features for your particular use case, contact me at [email protected].

  • Changed

    Completely rewritten cache that now renders all screen sizes and shows annotations.

  • Changed

  • Changed

    Increases loupe magnification on iPhone to 1.6 and make kPSPDFLoupeDefaultMagnification customizable at runtime.

  • Changed

    A UISplitViewController in the hierarchy is automatically detected and the pan gesture will be blocked while the PSPDFViewController is in drawing mode (else this would interfere with drawing).

  • Changed

    The note annotation controller now no longer generates change events per typed key, but will wait for a viewWillDisappear/app background event to sync the changed text back into the annotation object.

  • Changed

    Expose availableLineWidths and availableFontSizes in PSPDFPageView to customize menu options.

  • Changed

    On iPhone, scrolling down the search results will now automatically hide the keyboard.

  • Changed

    The selectionBackgroundColor of PSPDFSearchHighlightView can be updated after it’s displayed now.

  • Changed

    PSPDFTabBarView of PSPDFTabbedViewController can now be overridden with the overrideClassNames dictionary.

  • Changed

    API change: PSPDFViewController’s renderAnnotationTypes has been deprecated and will update the renderOptions in PSPDFDocument instead.

  • Changed

    API change: renderPage: and renderImageForPage: will now automatically fetch annotations if the annotations array is nil. To render a page without annotations, supply an empty array as the annotations array (as soon as an array is set, auto-fetching will be disabled).

  • Changed

    ‘allowTwoFingerScrollPanDuringLock’ in PSPDFAnnotationToolbar now defaults to NO, since this delays drawing.

  • Changed

    API change: Refactored the thumbnail view out of PSPDFViewController into it’s own controller: PSPDFThumbnailViewController. If your code relied on modifying the collection view delegates within PSPDFViewController, you must update your code to override PSPDFThumbnailViewController instead. PSPDFViewController’ gridView has been deprecated. Use thumbnailController.collectionView instead.

  • Changed

    API change: Removed iPhoneThumbnailSizeReductionFactor. item size is now set conditionally during initialization. The best way to set this is in PSPDFCache.sharedCache.thumbnailSize.

  • Changed

    Search / Text extraction is now more than twice as fast and reports the current page.

  • Changed

    The whole AP stream generation system has been improved and performance optimized to allow bigger streams like images.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit will now require Xcode 4.6/SDK 6.1 to compile. (4.5 should still work fine, but we follow Apple’s best practice with always compiling with the latest SDK available.)

  • Changed

    API change: editableAnnotationTypes is now an ordered set. Using a regular set to change this property will work for the time being, but please update your code. The order now will change the ordering of the buttons in the annotation toolbar and the new annotation menu.

  • Added

    Add experimental phone/link detection: detectLinkTypes:forPagesInRange: in PSPDFDocument. This will create annotations for phone numbers and links found in the document, if they are not linked already. This is the same that Preview/Mac and Adobe Acrobat do - they allow to click URLs even if they don’t have any link set on them.

  • Changed

    Search now displays the current processed page.

  • Changed

    Further tweaks to PSPDFHighlightAnnotation highlightedString.

  • Added

    Add setting to enable/disable the “Customer Signature” feature. (customerSignatureFeatureEnabled in PSPDFSignatureStore)

  • Changed

    The signature controller has now landscape as preferred rotation under iOS6. (but still supports portrait)

  • Changed

    Controllers presented via the PSPDFViewController helper now use a custom PSPDFNavigationController that queries the iOS6 rotation methods of the topmost view controller. This makes it easier to customize rotation for PSPDF* controllers without hacks.

  • Changed

    Performance improvement: deleted annotations now are no longer serialized if the external annotation format is used.

  • Changed

    The “hide small links” feature now works better on iPhone.

    New property: allowToolbarTitleChange on PSPDFViewController, controls it title is set or not.

  • Changed

    PSPDFOutlineParser now lazily evaluates named destinations if an outline has more than a specified threshold. (This is currently set to 500). This greatly improves loading times for documents with complex outlines.

  • Changed

    Allow audio file types for RichMedia/Screen annotations.

  • Added

    Add more audio file formats to the support list. (aiff, cif, …)

  • Changed

  • Changed

    FreeText annotations are now editable inline.

  • Changed

    Improves stamp and signature rect placement (no longer places the rect outside of page boundaries)

  • Changed

    Drawing overlay is now transparent. You can restore this behavior with subclassing PSPDFDrawView and setting the backgroundColor to [UIColor colorWithWhite:1.0 alpha:0.5].

  • Changed

    When changing the thickness of a drawing, the selection border will now automatically adapt itself to fit the new bounds.

  • Changed

    Fixes several issues with certain RichMedia embedded video annotations.

2.7.0 - 16 Jan 2013

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit model classes now have a common base model class ‘PSPDFModel’ - enables serialization/deserialization via JSON easily using externalRepresentationInFormat:. To get the JSON dictionary, use annotation externalRepresentationInFormat:PSPDFModelJSONFormat. (The old annotation serialization format is still supported for the time being)

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit now requires AssetsLibrary.framework - if you’re using PSPDFKit.xcproj or the source distribution, this is already been taken cared of. If you added the frameworks manually and get a linker error, make sure you are linking sAssetsLibrary.framework.

  • Changed

    PSPDFMenuItem learned to show images in UIMenuController - this beautifies many of the annotation menus, images are now used for annotation types/colors where appropriate.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit has learned to write appearance streams. Currently they are emitted for Stamp and Ink annotations. This will help to further improve annotation compatibility with some apps that behave less standard compliant (like Adobe Acrobat/iOS, last tested version is 10.4.4, which doesn’t show Ink annotations if they do not have an attached AP stream, even if this is invalid behavior according to the PDF spec. (GoodReader/Preview.app/Adobe Reader on the Mac don’t require an AP stream and work in compliance to the spec.))

  • Changed

    Annotation menus have been cleaned up a little, Opacity… has been moved into a submenu of Color for highlight annotations.

  • Changed

    PSPDFProcessor has learned to write annotations as dictionary, not only flatten. This will be used e.g. for Open In… when the original PDF is not writeable and thus annotations are saved in an external file.

  • Changed

    Open In… will now create a new file if there are annotations and the source PDF is not writeable itself.

  • Changed

    Stamp annotations now have limited support for appearance streams.

  • Changed

    Stamp annotations can now be added via the new PSPDFStampViewController.

  • Added

    Add experimental pageRange feature in PSPDFDocument to allow showing of a subset of the pages.

  • Changed

    Highlight annotation hit testing is now more accurate, checking the specific rects of the highlights, not the outer boundingBox.

  • Changed

    Annotation rendering now checks if the annotation will be visible at all and only then renders the annotation. This speeds up zooming on complex documents with many annotations.

  • Changed

    Improves search by ignoring certain whitespace characters like no-break-spaces.

  • Changed

    Enables creation of password protected PDFs with PSPDFProcessor up to AES-128 (and mix other CGPDFContext properties like kCGPDFContextAllowsPrinting or kCGPDFContextAllowsCopying)

  • Changed

    Improves word detection with splitting words between a line of thought and adding special logic for non-default whitespace characters. to use the old behavior.

  • Changed

    Improves french translation.

  • Changed

    zIndex of annotation images is now below zIndex of links, so that links are always displayed before annotation images.

  • Changed

    Email sending using PSPDFEmailSendMergedFilesIfNeeded will not perform a merge if there is only one source document.

  • Changed

    Links are now handled even if they are overlapped or hidden underneath other views.

  • Changed

    When note annotations are tapped, don’t fade-animate the former annotation out.

  • Changed

    Page label will not be displayed if the page label is simply the real page number. (Prevent titles like 2 (2 of 10))

  • Changed

    The internal web browser will now display an error within the HTML, much like Safari on iOS: https://twitter.com/steipete/status/287272056524001280

  • Changed

    Selected images now have a (default iOS light blue) selection state, matching the selection behavior of glyphs.

  • Changed

    Brightness control now has indicator images for less/more brightness and a better icon.

  • Changed

    Improves performance for pages with many links by dynamically disabling the rounded corners in that case.

  • Changed

    External PDF links can now be opened modally in a new controller, use [modal:YES] in the option field, e.g. pspdfkit://[modal:YES]localhost/two.pdf#page=4.

  • Changed

    Video extension with a cover now no longer has a dark background and is transparent. If you set cover:YES it will simply show the play button without any background.

  • Changed

    API change: Words are now detected if they are completely within the rect specified. Use kPSPDFObjectsTestIntersection

  • Changed

    API change: OutlineElement.page is now 0-based, not 1-based.

  • Changed

    API change: Several PSPDFProcessor methods now have an additional error part.

  • Changed

    API change: PSPDFInkAnnotation has been simplified, will automatically recalculate bounding box and paths on line change.

  • Changed

    API change: Setting the annotation color will now also set the alpha value, if one is set in color.

  • Changed

    API change: objectsAtPoint: now automatically does an intersection test unless specified otherwise, but objectsAtRect will not, so you need to specify that. Also, in previous version the rect check was done incorrectly to check if the test rect is within the object, now we check if the object is within the test rect OR intersects with it, if intersection is set to YES.

  • Changed

    API change: Links to external files now reference the page, not page+1. (pspdfkit://localhost/two.pdf#page=4 will move to page 4, before it was page 5)

  • Added

    Add support for older PDF standard of defining Dest arrays for page links (for example those produced by LaTeX with PDF version 1.3)

  • Changed

    Annotation option parsing is now more robust and will tolerate whitespace.

  • Changed

    Annotation text (and thus the annotation menu) is now even displayed if editableAnnotationType is set to NO.

  • Added

    Adds a workaround for certain PDFs with large embedded videos that previously couldn’t be parsed.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit now uses OS_OBJECT_USE_OBJC instead of OS version checking to check of GCD objects are collected via ARC or not (This is iOS6 only and the new default, can be disabled by the compiler)

  • Changed

    Text in the password view is now viewable on iPhone in landscape.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue with font caching on search and certain documents.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an off-by-one error on writing link annotations that link to internal pages.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where PSPDFTabbedViewController failed to show the tab bar if restoreState wasn’t called and thus the documents array was nil.

    Search now also finds words that are split up via newline and/or a hyphenations character. This is enabled by default. See PSPDFTextSearch.compareOptions.

  • Changed

    PSPDFSearchResult now has a PSPDFTextBlock as selection type (because it might have words on multiple lines). PSPDFSearchHighlightView now supports highlighting of multiple words.

  • Changed

    Search now is more tolerant on single/double quotation marks.

  • Changed

    Improves annotation toolbar animation for iPhone/landscape.

  • Changed

    PSPDFHighlightAnnotation has a new helper “highlightedString” to get the string value of the highlighted area. Here, the document content is evaluated, since the annotation just contains CGRect values.

  • Changed

    The annotation toolbar now remembers all last used colors per annotation type IF they are changed while the annotation toolbar is visible. (e.g. create yellow highlights, change annotation color to red, make new highlights -> red. But if you change color at a point where the annotation toolbar is closed, the color will not be remembered.)

  • Changed

    PSPDFGlyph/PSPDFWord/PSPDFTextBlock frame now needs to be converted using the convertViewRectToGlyphRect/convertGlyphRectToViewRect to get the correct results.

KNOWN ISSUE: Annotations can’t yet be moved between pages. This feature is on our roadmap.

2.4.0 - 2 Nov 2012

PSPDFKit now requires iOS 5.0+ and Xcode 4.5+ (iOS SDK 6.0) to compile. (Support for iOS 4.3/Xcode 4.4 has been removed, support for iOS 6.1 and Xcode 4.6b1 has been added.)

2.4 is a big release and a great new milestone of PSPDFKit. If you upgrade, make sure to read through the full header diffs to make sure methods you were calling/overriding still exist and are not moved. Common methods like pageScrolling will always get a compatibility method for the time being. Methods/Properties are are deeper within the framework won’t get a compatibility method, but it’s usually pretty easy to figure out what the property was named before. I am planning on working on PSPDFKit for a long time, and as the API evolves, it’s sometimes necessary to clean up and rename things so that the API stays clean and logical.

  • Changed

    Huge refactoring of PSPDFAnnotationParser. It’s now much easier to add custom annotation providers (see PSPDFAnnotationProvider). If you have subclassed saving/loading or other parts of PSPDFAnnotationParser, you most likely need to change this over to the new PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider.

  • Changed

    Page scrolling is now even smoother. And finally removes the slight stuttering when pushing the PSPDFViewController - now animates like butter.

  • Changed

    PSPDFShapeAnnotation can now be saved into the PDF.

  • Changed

    Ink drawings can now customize the Thickness. Select an annotation and use the new “Thickness…” menu item.

  • Changed

    Ink drawings and shape annotations can now also contain comment text.

  • Changed

    Annotations now support the title/user “T” flag. Change the default user name by changing the property in PSPDFFileAnnotationProvider.

  • Added

    Add support for embedded and external RichMedia and Screen (Video) annotations of any size.

  • Changed

    PSPDFBarButtonItem now has longPress-support. Long-Press on the bookmarkBarButtonItem to see the new PSPDFBookmarkViewController. Bookmarks can now also be renamed/reordered.

  • Changed

    If there’s no searchButton visible, the search invoked from the text selection menu now will originate from the selection rect.

  • Changed

    The Open In… action now also works on multi-file documents and/or data/cgdocumentprovider based documents (will merge the document on-the-fly, shows a progress window if it’ll take some time)

  • Changed

    PSPDFBarButtonItem now also accepts a generic UIView as sender on presentAnimated:sender:. (makes it easier to manually call menu items from custom code)

  • Changed

    Better support when barButtonItems are added to custom UIToolbars.

  • Changed

    The internal used BarButtonItem subclasses are now exposed, so that they can be overridden and their icon changed.

  • Added

    New activityBarButtonItem to share pages to Facebook/Twitter on iOS6.

  • Changed

    Double-Tapping on a video now enables full-screen (instead of zooming the page. This does not apply to YouTube movies)

  • Changed

    Greatly improves handling of multiple video views on one page/screen.

  • Changed

    Annotation views now have a optional xIndex. Video has a high index by default, so link annotations won’t overlap a video anymore.

  • Changed

    No longer allowing text selection above video annotations.

  • Changed

    PSPDFDocument now has a new property ‘PDFBox’ to customize the used PDF box (ClipRect/MediaRect/etc).

  • Changed

    PSPDFPositionView has been renamed to PSPDFPageLabelView. PSPDFPageLabelView and PSPDFDocumentLabelView are now easier skinable with the common superclass PSPDFLabelView.

  • Changed

    PSPDFLabelView has now a second predefined style (PSPDFLabelStyleBordered)

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageLabelView can now show a toolbar item. Check out the “Settings for a magazine” example how to enable this.

  • Changed

    PSPDFLinkAnnotationView and the other multimedia annotation views can now be subclassed via overrideClassNames.

  • Changed

    The Edit button for the text editor on note annotations can now be hidden. (showColorAndIconOptions)

  • Changed

    UI: Moved the Edit button of the PSPDFNoteAnnotationController to the left side. (only visible for PSPDFNoteAnnotation)

  • Changed

    Improves annotation parsing speed.

  • Changed

    Shape/Circle annotations now correctly display their fillColor.

  • Changed

    Improved color parsing for PSPDFFreeTextAnnotation (now honoring the default style string setting)

  • Changed

    The icons in the viewModeBarButtonItem now have the same shadow as the toolbar icons (iPhone for now).

  • Changed

    No longer displays annotation menus when they can’t be saved (PSPDFKit Basic)

  • Changed

    Expose outlineIntentLeftOffset and outlineIndentMultiplicator as properties on PSPDFOutlineViewController and PSPDFOutlineCell.

  • Changed

    Exposes firstLineRect, lastLineRect and selectionRect on PSPDFTextSelectionView.

  • Changed

    The text loupe now fades our correctly when in drag-handle-mode.

  • Changed

    Improved caching of external resources like annotations/text glyphs on page init. Caching now won’t overflow the dispatch queues anymore if A LOT of pages are loaded at the same time.

  • Changed

    PSPDFWord now has a lineBreaker property to detect line changes.

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageInfo now regenerates the pageRotationTransform when the pageRotation is changed manually.

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit now checks if a URL can be handled by the system and weird/nonrecognizable URLS no longer open the “Leave Application” alert.

  • Changed

    The PSPDFAnnotationBarButtonItem is now smart enough to choose the right animation depending if the toolbar is at the top/bottom (slide in/out from top/bottom)

  • Changed

    Setting the UIPopoverController no longer removes preexisting passthroughViews.

  • Changed

    The renderQueue now no longer renders the requested image if the delegate has been released in the mean time. (The delegate is now weak instead of strong)

  • Changed

    UI: Undo/Redo buttons on the drawing toolbar are better placed on iPhone.

  • Changed

    UI: The color selection button is now smaller on iPhone/Landscape.

  • API

    PSPDFPageInfo is not calculated in PSPDFDocumentProvider. If you’ve overridden methods that affect PSPDFPageInfo in PSPDFDocument, you should move that code to a PSPDFDocumentProvider subclass.

  • API

    “realPage” has been renamed to “page” and is now set-able. The old “page” has been renamed to “screenPage”. This finally cleans up the confusion that has been around page and realPage. In 99% of all cases, you’re just interested in page and can ignore screenPage. Please update your bindings accordingly. If you formerly did KVO on realPage, change this to page too. (There’s a deprecated compatibility property for realPage, but not for the KVO event)

  • API

    additionalRightBarButtonItems has been renamed to additionalBarButtonItems.

  • API

    pageScrolling has been renamed to scrollDirection. A deprecated compatibility call has been added.

  • API

    handleTouchUpForAnnotationIgnoredByDelegate has been moved to PSPDFAnnotationController.

  • API

    pdfViewController has been renamed to pdfController on PSPDFTabbedViewController.

  • API

    Warning! If you’ve used pspdf_dispatch_sync_reentrant in your own code, you now absolutely must create your dispatch queues with pspdf_dispatch_queue_create. Apple has deprecated dispatch_get_current_queue(), so we’re now using a different solution. This will most likely affect you if you’re using the “Kiosk” sample code of PSPDFKit Catalog.

  • Changed

    Titanium: The pdfView now has a hidePopover(true) method so PSPDF popovers can better be coordinated with appcelerator code popovers.

  • Fixed

  • Fixed

    Fixes several conditions where the PSPDFViewController could be deallocated on a background thread.

  • Fixed

    Fixes new warnings that popped up with Xcode 4.6. (pretty much all false positives)

2.3.4 - 18 Oct 2012

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare race condition that could lead to a deadlock on initializing PSPDFDocumentProvider and PSPDFAnnotationParser.

2.3.3 - 18 Oct 2012

Note: This will be the last release that supports iOS 4.3*. The next version will be iOS 5+ only and will require Xcode 4.5+ (iOS SDK 6.0) If you’re having any comments on this, I would love to hear from you: [email protected] The binary variant is already links with SDK 6.0 and will not link with 5.1 anymore. (It still works down to iOS 4.3 though)

(*) There is no device that supports iOS 4.3 and can’t be upgraded to iOS5, and PSPDFKit already dropped iOS4.2 and with it armv6 in 2.0.

  • Changed

2.1.0 - 17 Sep 2012

  • Changed

    New: PSPDFAESCryptoDataProvider. Allows fast, secure on-the-fly decryption of AES256-secured PDF documents. (PSPDFKit Annotate feature) Unlike NSData-based solutions, the PDF never is fully decrypted, and this even works with very large (> 100MB) documents. Uses 50.000 PBKDF iterations and a custom IV vector for maximum security. Includes the AESCryptor helper Mac app to properly encrypt your PDF documents.

  • Changed

    Allow to customize caching strategy per document with the new cacheStrategy property. This is automatically set to PSPDFCacheNothing when using PSPDFAESCryptoDataProvider.

  • Changed

    Annotations now have a blue selection view when they are selected.

  • Added

    Add kPSPDFAllowAntiAliasing as optional render option.

  • Changed

    PSPDFOpenInBarButtonItem no longer performs a check for compatible apps. Checking this is pretty slow. An info alert will be displayed to the user if no compatible apps are installed (which is highly unlikely for PDF). You can restore the original behavior with setting kPSPDFCheckIfCompatibleAppsAreInstalled to YES.

  • Changed

    The viewState is now preserved when another controller is displayed/dismissed modally. This mostly happened with showing/hiding the inline browser or the note text controller on an iPhone. After that the zoom rate was reset; this is now properly preserved.

  • Changed

    The annotation toolbar now flashes if the user tries to hide the HUD while the bar is still active (and blocking that)

  • Changed

    Various performance optimizations; especially scrolling and initial controller creation.

    Titanium: fixes a rare condition where using document.password to unlock sometimes resulted in an incorrect value for isLocked.

2.0.3 - 14 Sep 2012

  • Added

    Add a new “renderOptions” property to PSPDFDocument to fine-tune documents (e.g. fixes gray border lines in mostly-black documents)

    Reduces file size of PSPDFKit.bundle by about 50%; improves speed of certain helper plists parsing.

  • Fixed

    Fixes potential category clashing

  • Fixed

  • Removed

    Removes libJPGTurbo; Apple’s own implementation has gotten faster (especially in iOS6)

2.0.1 - 12 Sep 2012

  • Changed

    Faster search (document pattern detection if delayed until needed, outline results get cached)

  • Changed

    Improved reaction time for complex PDF documents (e.g. annotations are only evaluated if they’re already loaded; but won’t lock the main thread due to lazy parsing)

  • Added

    Add additional checks so that even incorrectly converted NSURL-paths (where description instead of path has been called) work.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a issue where annotations were not saved with multiple-file documents on all but the first file.

  • Fixed

    Fixes problems where link annotations lost their page/link target after saving annotations into a file.

2.0.0 - 8 Sep 2012

PSPDFKit 2 is a major updates with lots of changes and a streamlined API. There are some API deprecations and some breaking changes; but those are fairly straightforward and well documented.

You need at least Xcode 4.4.1 to compile. (Xcode 4.4/4.5 both run fine on Lion, Mountain Lion is not needed but recommended) PSPDFKit 2 is compatible with iOS 4.3 upwards. (armv7, i386 - thus dropping iOS 4.2/armv6 from version 1)

The installation has been simplified. You now just drop the “PSPDFKit.embeddedframework” container into your project. Next, enable the PSPDFKit.xcconfig project configuration. Here’s a screenshot: http://cl.ly/image/1e1I2Z2e1D3F (Select your project (top left), select project again in the PROJECT/TARGETS tree, select Info, then change in “Based on Configuration file” from None to PSPDFKit.)

If you have the sources and embed PSPDFKit as a subproject, don’t forget to also add PSPDFKit.bundle.

MAJOR NEW FEATURES:

  • Changed

    Text selection! (PSPDFKit Annotate) (Includes Copy, Dictionary, Wikipedia support)

  • Changed

    Annotations! (PSPDFKit Annotate) Highlight, Underscore, Strikeout, Note, Draw etc. Annotations also will be written back into the PDF. There is a new annotationBarButtonItem that shows the new annotation toolbar.

  • Changed

    Smart Zoom (Text blocks are detected and zoomed onto on a double-tap; much like Safari) The PDF is now also dynamically re-rendered at every zoom level for maximal sharpness and quality.

  • Changed

    Customizable render modes (enable/disable use of upscaled thumbnails). PSPDFPageRenderingModeFullPageBlocking is great for magazines.

  • Changed

    Greatly improved Search. Faster, parses more font styles, compatible with international characters (chinese, turkish, arabic, …)

  • Changed

    Site Bookmarks (see bookmarksBarButtonItem and PSPDFBookmarkParser)

  • Changed

    Support for VoiceOver accessibility (yes, even within the PDF!)

Further, PSPDFKit has been improved in virtually every area and a lot of details have been tweaked.

  • Changed

    Inline password view. (Before, just a empty screen was shown when document wasn’t unlocked.)

  • Changed

    Adobe DRM detection (They are just marked as not viewable, instead of showing garbage)

  • Changed

    PDF rendering indicator. (see pdfController.renderAnimationEnabled)

  • Changed

    Even better view reuse. PSPDFPageView is now reused, scrolling is even smoother.

  • Changed

    PSPDFDocument can now be initialized with a CGDataProviderRef or a dataArray.

  • Changed

    The search/outline controllers now dynamically update their size based on the content height.

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageView now has convenience methods to calculate between PDF and screen coordinate space (convertViewPointToPDFPoint/convertPDFPointToViewPoint/etc)

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageView no longer uses CATiledLayer; this has been replaced by a much faster and better custom solution.

  • Changed

    PSPDFScrollView no longer accepts a tripple-tap for zooming out; this was a rarely-used feature in iOS and it increased the reaction time for the much more used double tap. Zooming in/out is now smarter (smart zoom) and does the right thing depending on the zoom position.

1.10.0 - 25 May 2012

This will probably be the last major release in the 1.x branch. Work on 2.x is already underway, with a focus on text selection and annotations.

This release has some API-breaking changes:

  • Added

    New toolbar handling (breaking API change) The properties searchEnabled, outlineEnabled, printEnabled, openInEnabled, viewModeControlVisible have been replaced by a much more flexible system based on the PSPDFBarButtonItem class.

    For example, to add those features under the “action” icon as a menu, use this: self.additionalRightBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:self.printButtonItem, self.openInButtonItem, self.emailButtonItem, nil]; If you’re looking to e.g. remove the search feature, set a new rightBarButtonItems array that excludes the searchButtonItem.

    Likewise, the functions additionalLeftToolbarButtons, magazineButton and toolbarBackButton have been unified to self.leftBarButtonItems. If you want to replace the default closeButton with your own, just create your own UIBarButtonItem and set it to self.leftBarButtonItems = [NSArray arrayWithObject:customCloseBarButtonItem];

  • Changed

    Resolving pdf link paths has changed. (breaking API change) Previously, if no marker like “Documents” or “Bundle” was found, we resolved to the bundle. This version changes resolving the link to the actual position of the pdf file. If you need the old behavior, you can set PSPDFResolvePathNamesEnableLegacyBehavior to YES or use a custom subclass of the PSPDFAnnotationParser.

  • Added

    New class PSPDFTabbedViewController, to show multiple PSPDFDocuments with a top tab bar. iOS5 only. (includes new TabbedExample)

  • Added

    New feature: PDF page labels are parsed. (e.g. roman letters or custom names; displayed in the PSPDFPositionView and the thumbnail label)

  • Added

    New feature: send via Email: allows sending the pdf as an attachment. (see emailButtonItem in PSPDFViewController)

  • Added

    New feature: PSPDFViewState allows persisting/restoring of a certain document position (including page, position, zoom level). See documentViewState and restoreDocumentViewState:animated: in PSPDFViewController.

  • Added

    Add support for puny code characters in pdf URLs (like http://➡.ws/鞰齒). This uses the IDNSDK.

  • Added

    New property: useParentNavigationBar, if you embed the PSPDFViewController using iOS5 containment and still want to populate the navigationBar.

  • Added

    New property: pageCurlDirectionLeftToRight to allow a backwards pagination. (for LTR oriented documents)

  • Added

    New delegate: delegateDidEndZooming:atScale to detect user/animated zooming.

  • Changed

    UI Improvement: Show URL in embedded browser title bar, until page is loaded with the real title.

  • Changed

    General: Add french localization in PSPDFKit.bundle.

  • Changed

    Titanium: Add ability to hide the close button.

Note: For pageCurl, Apple’s UIPageViewController is used. This class is pretty new and still buggy. I had to apply some private API fixes to make it work. Those calls are obfuscated and AppStore-safe.

If you have any reasons to absolutely don’t use those workarounds, you can add PSPDFKIT_DONT_USE_OBFUSCATED_PRIVATE_API in the preprocessor defines. (only in the source code variant) This will also disable the pageCurl feature as the controller will crash pretty fast when my patches are not applied.

Don’t worry about this, I have several apps in the store that use such workarounds where needed, it never was a problem. Also, I reported those bugs to Apple and will keep track of the fixes, and remove my workarounds for newer iOS versions if they fix the problem.

1.8.4 - 27 Dec 2011

  • Fixed

    Fixes a problem where search highlights were not displayed.

  • Changed

    Updated git version scripts to better work with branches. (git rev-list instead of git log)

1.8.3 - 26 Dec 2011

  • Changed

    Update internally used TTTAttributedString to PSPDFAttributedString; prevent naming conflicts.

  • Changed

    Fallback to pdf filename if pdf title is set but empty.

  • Changed

    pageMode can now be set while willAnimateRotationToInterfaceOrientation to customize single/double side switching.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a problem with the document disappearing in certain low memory situations.

1.8.2 - 25 Dec 2011

  • Changed

    Uses better image pre-caching code; now optimizes for RGB screen alignment; smoother scrolling!

  • Fixed

    Fixes a regression with scrobble bar hiding after animation.

  • Fixed

    Fixes wrong toolbar offset calculation on iPad in landscape mode.

  • Changed

    Various performance optimizations regarding CGPDFDocument, HUD updates, thumbnails, cache creation.

    Fixes a regression with the Web-AlertView-action not working.

1.8.0 - 21 Dec 2011

  • Changed

    Search Highlighting! This feature is still in BETA, but already works with many documents. If it doesn’t work for you, you can disable it with changing the searchMode-property in PSPDFDocumentSearcher. We’re working hard to improve this, it just will take some more time until it works on every document. As a bonus, search is now fully async and no longer blocks the main thread.

  • Changed

    ARC! PSPDFKit now internally uses ARC, which gives a nice performance boost and makes the codebase a lot cleaner. PSPDFKit is still fully compatible with iOS4 upwards. You need to manually include libarclite.so if you are not using ARC and need compatibility with iOS4. Check the MinimalExample.xcodeproj to see how it’s done. (You can drag the two libarclite-libraries directly in your project). If you use the PSPDFKit-lib.xcodeproj as a submodule, you don’t have to think about this, Xcode is clever enough to not expose this bug here. See more about this at https://pspdfkit.com/guides/.

  • Added

    New default shadow for pages. More square, iBooks-like. The previous shadow is available when changing shadowStyle in PSPDFScrollView. The shadow override function has been renamed to pathShadowForView.

  • Changed

    New: PSPDFDocument now uses the title set in the pdf as default. Use setTitle to set your own title. Title is now also thread-safe.

  • Added

    New Thumbnail-Framework (removed AQGridView). Faster, better animations, allows more options. Thumbnails are now centered. You can override this behavior with subclassing gridView in PSPDFViewController.

  • Changed

    New: HUD-elements are now within hudView, hudView is now a PSPDFHUDView, lazily created.

  • Changed

    New: Page position is now displayed like in iBooks at the bottom page (title is now just title)

    Videos don’t auto play per default. Change the url to pspdfkit[autoplay:true]://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8 to restore the old behavior (or use delegates).

  • Changed

    viewMode does not longer animate per default. Use the new setViewMode:animated: to change it with animation.

    Removes a lot of glue code and switches to KVO for many view-related classes (Scrobble Bar)

  • Added

    Add methods to check if PSPDFPageInfo is already available, improves thumbnail speed.

  • Added

    Add generic support to override classes. See the property “overrideClassNames” for details. This replaces “scrollViewClass” and “scrobbleBarClass” and is much more flexible. Just use a key/value pair of NSStrings with default/new class names and your custom subclass will be loaded.

  • Changed

    setScrobbleBarEnabled is now animatable.

  • Changed

    The protocolString for the multimedia link annotation additions can now be set in PSPDFAnnotationParser (defaults to pspdfkit://).

  • Changed

    didTapOnPage is now didTapOnPageView, the former is deprecated.

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageCoordinates now show a nice description when printed.

  • Changed

    Many deprecated delegate calls have been removed. Check your calls.

  • Changed

    Version number is now directly written from the git repository. (PSPDFVersionString() is now more accurate)

  • Changed

    When a link annotation is tapped, the HUD no longer shows/hides itself.

  • Changed

    HUD show/hide is now instant, as soon as scrolling is started. No more delays.

  • Changed

    Scrollbar is now only changed if controller is displayed in full-screen (non-embedded).

  • Fixed

    Fixes a issue where PSPDFKit would never release an object if annotations were disabled.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a bug where the outline was calculated too often.

  • Fixed

    Fixes an issue where the title was re-set when changing the file of a pdf.

  • Fixed

    Fixes problems with syntax highlighting of some files. Xcode 4.3 works even better; use the beta if you can.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a bug with video player when auto play is not enabled.

  • Fixed

    Fixes encoding for mailto: URL handler (%20 spaces and other encoded characters are now properly decoded)

  • Fixed

    Fixes potential crash with recursive calls to scrollViewDidScroll.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare crash when delegates are changed while being enumerated.

  • Changed

    Lots of other small improvements.

1.7.5 - 1 Dec 2011

  • Fixed

    Fixes calling the deprecated delegate didShowPage when didShowPageView is not implemented. (thanks Albin)

1.7.4 - 29 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    Custom lookup for parent viewcontroller - allows more setups of embedded views.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a crash related to parsing table of contents.

1.7.3 - 29 Nov 2011

  • Added

    Add a log warning that the movie/audio example can crash in the Simulator. Known Apple bug. Doesn’t happen on the device.

  • Changed

    PSPDFCache can now be subclassed. Use kPSPDFCacheClassName to set the name of your custom subclass.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a bug where scrollingEnabled was re-enabled after a zoom operation.

1.7.2 - 29 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    Changes delegates to return PSPDFView instead of the page: didShowPageView, didRenderPageView.

  • Changed

    Improve zoom sharpness. (kPSPDFKitZoomLevels is now set to 5 per default from 4; set back if you experience any memory problems on really big documents.)

  • Changed

    Increase tiling size on iPad1/older devices to render faster.

  • Changed

    Reduce loading of unneeded pages. Previously happened sometimes after fast scrolling. This also helps when working with delegates.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a locking race condition when using PSPDFDocument.twoStepRenderingEnabled.

1.7.1 - 29 Nov 2011

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rare crash when encountering non-standardized elements while parsing the Table of Contents.

1.7.0 - 28 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    PSPDFKit now needs at least Xcode 4.2/Clang 3.0 to compile.

  • Changed

    Following new frameworks are required: libz.dylib, ImageIO.framework, CoreMedia.framework, MediaPlayer.framework, AVFoundation.framework.

  • Changed

    Images are now compressed with JPG. (which is usually faster) If you upgrade, add an initial call to [[PSPDFCache sharedPSPDFCache] clearCache] to remove the png cache. You can control this new behavior or switch back to PNGs with PSPDFCache’s useJPGFormat property.

  • Changed

    Optionally, when using PNG as cache format, crushing can be enabled, which is slower at writing, but faster at reading later on. (usually a good idea!)

  • Added

    New multimedia features! Video can now be easily embedded with a custom pspdfkit:// url in link annotations. Those can be created with Mac Preview.app or Adobe Acrobat. Try for example “pspdfkit://devimages.apple.com/iphone/samples/bipbop/bipbopall.m3u8” to get the HTTP Live streaming test video.

  • Changed

    Link annotations are now UIButtons. This allows more interactivity (feedback on touch down), and also changes the default implementation of PSPDFDocument’s drawAnnotations function to be empty. Clear the cache after updating, or else you get two borders. You can also return to the old behavior if you return NO on shouldDisplayAnnotation (PSPDFViewControllerDelegate) anytime an annotation of type PSPDFAnnotationTypeLink is sent.

  • Changed

    Localization is now handled via the PSPDFKit.bundle. You can either change this, or use PSPDFSetLocalizationDictionary to add custom localization.

  • Changed

    PSPDFLinkAnnotation is renamed to PSPDFAnnotation and adds a new helper function to get the annotation rect.

  • Changed

    PSPDFPage is refactored to PSPDFPageView and is now the per-page container for a document page. The delegate methods have been changed to return the corresponding PSPDFPageView. Within PSPDFPageView, you can get the parent scrollview PSPDFScrollView.

  • Changed

    PSPDFPageModeAutomatic is now more intelligent and only uses dual page mode if it actually improves reading (e.g. no more dual pages on a landscape-oriented document)

  • Changed

    PSPDFKitExample: fixes delete-image positioning in long scroll lists.

  • Changed

    new: use PSPDFPageInfo everywhere to allow custom rotation override. (- (PSPDFPageInfo *)pageInfoForPage:(NSUInteger)page pageRef:(CGPDFPageRef)pageRef)

  • Added

    new delegate options to allow dynamic annotation creation.

  • Changed

    Better size calculation for the toolbar, allows changing titles to longer/shorter words and resizing automatically.

  • Changed

    PSPDFDocument now uses the title of the pdf document (if available). You can override this with manually setting a title.

  • Added

    New option “scrollingEnabled” to be able to lock scrolling. (e.g. when remote controlling the pdf)

  • Changed

    Improves speed on image pre-caching.

  • Changed

    Improves documentation.

  • Fixed

    Fixes a rotation problem with the last magazine page.

  • Fixed

  • Fixed

    fixes a memory leak (regression in 1.6.18)

1.6.19 - 16 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    further small rotation improvement.

1.6.18 - 16 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    New: Much, much improved rotation. Now smooth as butter. Enjoy!

1.6.17 - 12 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    In search results, “Site” was renamed to “Page” to be consistent with the toolbar. If you use custom localization, you have to rename the entry “Site %d” to “Page %d”.

  • Added

    add API call to allow basic text extraction from the search module (magazine.documentSearcher)

1.6.16 - 12 Nov 2011

  • Fixed

    fixes a bug with invalid caching entries when a deleted document is re-downloaded in the same application session (pages suddenly went black)

  • Added

    add a custom lib-project for PSPDFKit; it’s now easier than ever to integrate it. Note: you really should use that one - I’ll switch over to ARC soon, so a library makes things easier.

1.6.15 - 5 Nov 2011

  • Changed

    thumbnails are now displayed under the transparent bar, not overlapping

  • Changed

    only enable outline if it’s enabled and there actually is an outline (no more empty popovers)

  • Changed

    mail links are now presented in a form sheet on the iPad

  • Changed

    allow show/hide of navigation bar even when zoomed in

1.6.14 - 22 Oct 2011

  • Fixed

    fixes bug where delete method of PSPDFCache (removeCacheForDocument) was deleting the whole directory of the pdf instead of just the related files

1.6.13 - 22 Oct 2011

  • Removed

    removed the zeroing weak reference helper. If you use custom delegates for PSPDFCache, you now need to manually deregister them. Upside: better management of delegates.

1.6.12 - 19 Oct 2011

  • Changed

    changed: turns out, when compiling with Xcode 4.2/Clang, you’ll loose binary compatibility with objects linked from 4.1. Thus, the framework crashed with EXC_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION when compiled within an older Xcode. I will use 4.1 some more time to give everyone the change to upgrade, but due to some great improvements in Clang 3.0 compiler that ships with Xcode 4.2 (e.g. nilling out of structs accessed from a nil object) it’s highly advised that you use Xcode 4.2. If you use the source code directly, this is not an issue at all.

1.6.11 - 14 Oct 2011

  • Changed

    new: PSPDFKit is now compiled with Xcode 4.2/iOS Base SDK 5.0 (still works with 4.x)

  • Changed

    improves compatibility for outline parser; now able to handle rare array/dict destination variants (fixes all destinations = page 1 error)

  • Fixed

    fixes a rare stack overflow when re-using zoomed scrollviews while scrolling.

  • Fixed

    fixes a compile problem on older Xcode versions. (It’s not officially supported though - use Xcode 4.2 for the best experience!)

  • Fixed

    fixes a memory problem where iPad1 rarely tries to repaint a page forever

1.6.10 - 25 Sep 2011

  • Changed

    aspectRatioEqual now defaults to NO. Many customers oversee this and then send me (false) bug reports. Set this to YES for maximum speed if your document has one single aspect ratio (like most magazines should).

  • Changed

    scroll to active page in grid view

  • Fixed

    fixes small offset-error in the scrobble bar

    changed: willShowPage is now deprecated, use didShowPage. Both now change page when page is 51% visible. Former behavior was leftIndex

  • Changed

    changed: pageCount is now only calculated once. If it’s 0, you need to call clearCacheForced:YES to reset internal state of PSPDFDocument

  • Changed

    changed: iPhone no longer uses dualPage display in landscape, now zooms current page to fullWidth

  • Changed

    new: property fitWidth in PSPDFViewController lets you enable document fitting to width instead of largest element (usually height). Only works with horizontal scrolling
