PencilKit Beta Support, PDF Annotation Grouping, Improved Page Manipulation, and More With PDFTron 7.0.1 for iOS

We are happy to announce version 7.0.1 of PDFTron's iOS SDK.

This release adds beta support for Apple's PencilKit framework, multiple annotation selection and grouping, improved page manipulation, a new undo/redo UI control, and more.

We're pleased to announce beta support for Apple's PencilKit framework!

The PTPencilDrawingCreate tool allows users to draw and edit expressive and responsive ink, marker, and pencil annotations.

A beta version of the PDFTron iOS SDK with support for iOS 13-only APIs is available for download here.

PDFTron for iOS now supports multiple annotation selection using the new PTAnnotSelectTool class.

Selected annotations can be grouped, ungrouped, moved, resized, and deleted together.

The PTThumbnailsViewController now includes controls to rotate selected pages, as well as insert new blank pages at the end of the document, or after the currently-selected page.

These features are in addition to the existing controls to delete and reorder pages.

There is a new UI for undo/redo with the PTMoreItemsViewController. This control will be extended with more actions and functionality in future releases.

Please see our change log for a list of all changes.

We hope you like these changes and any feedback is greatly appreciated. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or suggestions.

We also have many exciting new features planned for the coming weeks and months. Stay tuned…
