Changelog

+
+
+ v1.15.0 + September 12, 2026 + Latest +
+

Passwords that unlock once, stay unlocked, and a stronger encryption stack

+
    +
  • Password-protected PDFs: a correct password is no longer accepted by the unlock prompt and then rejected by every tool you open afterwards. Documents with accented or non-English characters in the password were the ones affected: the file appeared to open, the page thumbnails stayed blank, and each tool asked again for a password you had just typed correctly. PDFApps now tries the spellings the PDF standard allows, remembers the one that actually worked, and reuses it everywhere, so unlocking once is enough.
    • +
  • Clearer wrong-password message: typing the wrong password now shows a plain, translated message instead of a generic error with technical details hidden behind a "Show Details" button.
    • +
  • Encryption fixed on Linux (Flatpak): the Flatpak build was missing a cryptography component, so encrypting a PDF with AES-256 failed outright and AES-encrypted files could not be opened by the Encrypt tool. The component is now bundled and both work.
    • +
  • Security & dependencies: pypdf updated to 6.16.2 and cryptography to 50.0.1, closing six advisories in the PDF parser and one in the cryptography library.
    • +
  • Better release notes: the "What's new" text shown by the in-app updater no longer includes internal development entries, and security updates now get their own section listed first.

        +
      • Correct passwords with accented or non-English characters are no longer rejected by the tools after unlocking

      • The password spelling that worked is reused across the viewer and every tool
        • +
      • A wrong password now shows a clear translated message

      OCR language packs installed through Homebrew are now detected on Apple Silicon Macs.

      Viewer stability, legacy-encoding imports, and security updates:

      +
        +
      • The shared document handle stays valid after a failed note deletion, and saving no longer races with rendering
        • +
      • In-document search is debounced, so typing a query no longer blocks the interface
        • +
      • Text files in Windows-1252 and Latin-1 encodings now import without errors
        • +
      • Security updates to pillow, pymupdf, pypdf, and qtawesome

      +       +       + + +

      Page thumbnails sidebar in the viewer:

      +
        +
      • A Pages tab shows a live thumbnail of every page; click one to jump to it
        • +
      • Thumbnails render on demand and stay sharp on high-DPI displays
        • +
      • A Contents tab shows the document outline when a PDF has bookmarks
        • +
      • Password-protected documents are verified correctly when opened for viewing

      Editor audit fixes, atomic saves, and streaming OCR:

      +
        +
      • Encryption is preserved on save and annotation deletions persist
        • +
      • Atomic writes with restore-on-error added across the tools
        • +
      • Streaming OCR writer lowers peak memory use

      • PDF to DOCX conversion is now layout-aware
