Changelog

Version 26.5.2 current

A small follow-up to 26.5.1, delivered automatically to installed copies.

Changes

• Welcome tour — the feature slides now open at their own narrower width; the working welcome page keeps its full-width layout
• Anonymous usage analytics — the app now counts launches and feature use anonymously to help prioritise work; no document content is ever collected

Version 26.5.1

The September update, delivered automatically to installed copies. Everything from the incremental 26.4 and 26.5 steps is included.

Changes

• Signing, complete — draw, type, photograph or shoot your signature with your iPhone; initials and signer profiles (name, title, company, date); signing spots outlined on the page; "Sign Every Spot" walks a form's signing spots one by one; the date is filled in beside the signature in the same step; blue, black or dark red ink; placed signatures are always flattened into the page
• Certificate (digital) signatures — sign with a keychain identity or create one; every signed document is verified on opening: Signed, unknown signer, or changed since signing
• Text in any font — the page's own printed text can be re-set in any font installed on your Mac, with the font embedded in the file; text boxes get the same freedom, with in-place editing
• Bookmarks fully editable — create, rename, nest, re-point, delete; each action is one undo step
• Welcome window — now an animated tour of the app's features
• Many fixes across markup, forms and the Text palette
