Release Notes
Public release notes summarize user-facing changes, fixes, and documentation updates for each PDF Auditor release.
PDF Auditor updates are delivered through the Mac App Store.
v1.20
- New: Show Page Geometry view mode — toggle it from or the toolbar button to expose content hidden outside the CropBox. It dims the cropped region and outlines every page box (Media, Crop, Bleed, Trim, and Art). It is an inspection aid for auditing what a PDF hides via cropping, and your file is never modified.
- Fix: the app now honors the macOS Reduce Motion accessibility preference — the Size Analysis donut and the Forensics phase spinner stay static when it is on.
- Polish: mixed-size PDFs now center horizontally on first render.
v1.19
- Full VoiceOver and Voice Control support.
- WCAG AA contrast for severity, risk, permission, and annotation colors.
