Release notes for the Pdftools SDK

Here you'll find the latest functional changes for the Pdftools SDK.

Version 1.3​

  • Added the DocumentAssembler class. This class allows you to combine multiple input PDF documents into one output document, or split one input PDF document into multiple output documents.
  • Added the ability to include a customizable signature appearance when Signing a PDF document. A signature's appearance may be any combination of text, images, and other PDF documents.
  • Before version 1.3.3 you needed to use an evaluation license key to try the Pdftools SDK. With version 1.3.3, you can use the Pdftools SDK without a license key with watermarked output files. As a result, you can try the Pdftools SDK without any license key. To remove the watermark from the output files, contact the Pdftools sales team through the Contact page to get a full license.
