PDFNet.initializeno longer accepts null or empty license keys. A valid demo or commercial license key is required at all times.
Apryse core library has been repackaged to a single pdftron.aar file (full/pdftron.aar and standard/pdftron.aar). To learn more about how to integrate with latest Apryse library, see the manual integration guide . The following files that were required from previous release are no longer needed and should be removed from your project:
- libs/PDFNet.jar
- jniLibs/arm64-v8a/libPDFNetC.so
- jniLibs/armeabi/libPDFNetC.so
- jniLibs/armeabi-v7a/libPDFNetC-v7a.so
- jniLibs/x86/libPDFNetC.so
- jniLibs/x86_64/libPDFNetC.so
- res/raw/pdfnet.res
- res/raw/pdftron_layout_resources.plugin
- res/raw/pdftron_smart_substitution.plugin
PDFViewCtrlTools (tools.aar) project is using vector drawables from the support library, if your application does not have this yet, add the following to your module Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle):

android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        vectorDrawables.useSupportLibrary = true
    }
}

The minimum API requirement has been changed to API 16, your app will run on approximately 99.2% of devices.
Dependency AAR files have been renamed and now available to integrate via Gradle package manager :
- PDFViewCtrlTools.aar -> tools.aar
- FloatingActionButton.aar -> floatingactionbutton.aar
- PageCropper.aar -> pagecropper.aar
A number of static integers in PDFViewCtrl and ToolManager are now changed to enum class to better represent the data:
Removed APIs
- PDFViewCtrl.openURL: use PDFViewCtrl.openUrlAsync instead
- ToolManager.setBuiltInPanModeToolbarEnable: for search, see text search guide, for page slider, see thumbnail slider instead
- ToolManager.showBuiltInTopToolbar: see text search guide
- ToolManager.showBuiltInBottomToolbar: see thumbnail slider

All static integers with a corresponding enum representation are now deprecated, use the enum version instead.
