PDFView 0.2.1 fixes a bug in 0.2.0 and makes signing faster from the keyboard.

Download PDFView-0.2.1-universal.zip, unzip it, and move PDFView.app to Applications. It runs on Apple silicon and Intel Macs with macOS 14.2 or later.

Fixed

  • A password-protected PDF that you never unlocked no longer reports unsaved form entries. 0.2.0 showed the edited dot and asked to save on close or quit.
  • Protected signed copies keep the original's print and copy restrictions and its user/owner password roles. If those restrictions can't be written back, the save stops with an explanation and leaves the destination unchanged.

Changed

  • Initials and dates start in Anywhere placement even when the PDF has signature fields. Each stamp type remembers your Fields/Anywhere choice.
  • When a click can't place a stamp, a visible message replaces the bare beep.
  • New shortcut for Place Initials on Every Page.
  • Form checkboxes and pop-up menus work from the keyboard. VoiceOver announces their type and state.
  • A just-placed stamp no longer captures the arrow keys, and there is a larger nudge step.
  • New Help > Keyboard Shortcuts window.
  • Escape during a save announces that the save was cancelled.
  • Quick saves no longer flash a progress banner.

Gatekeeper

The app is ad-hoc signed, not notarized, so macOS blocks the first launch:

  • macOS 14: right-click PDFView.app, choose Open, then confirm Open.
  • macOS 15 or later: try to open it once, then go to System Settings > Privacy & Security, click Open Anyway for PDFView and confirm.

Signatures are visual stamps, not certificate-based digital signatures. Everything stays on your Mac. See CHANGELOG.md for the full list.
