Somewhat annoyingly, Apple has worked around many of these bugs in Preview rather than fixing them in the underlying PDFKit framework.
Now, clicking in a zoomed page ignores the click-down point and immediately jumps to the top of the page. Previously, in Landrum’s app, you could zoom in on a page and then use a hand tool to pan around.

Grunenberg also pointed out that PDFKit used to provide a sidebar for viewing all the note annotations in a PDF, but that was removed in Sierra and hasn’t yet made a comeback in High Sierra.Ĭraig Landrum of Mindwrap, developer of the scan-to-PDF app Optix, discovered that panning a PDF no longer works properly in High Sierra.

Both Jon Ashwell and Christian Grunenberg said that creating a highlight annotation now obscures the underlying text, and Grunenberg is trying to work around the problem in the next update to DEVONthink. That’s not to say that everything is Riesling and roses, though. And Christian Grunenberg of DEVONtechnologies, makers of DEVONthink, pointed out that some minor rendering glitches had also been fixed and concluded, “Overall, it’s a step forward for Sierra users.” EagleFiler developer Michael Tsai of C-Command Software said that he had noticed that Apple had eliminated a crashing bug related to contextual menus, along with a horizontal scrolling bug. On the plus side, Jon Ashwell of Sonny Software, who writes the Bookends bibliography app, noted that Apple had fixed two crashing bugs he had encountered, one on opening certain PDFs and another when rendering. So what’s the PDFKit situation in 10.13 High Sierra? I polled my PDF-savvy developer friends, and the response was mixed. That occurred because Apple chose to rewrite the PDFKit framework, presumably for better compatibility with iOS, but in the process both removed features and introduced numerous bugs (see “ Sierra PDF Problems Get Worse in 10.12.2,” 2 January 2017, and “ PDF Problems Continue in 10.12.4, but Primarily Affect Developers,” 3 April 2017). Last year, when macOS 10.12 Sierra shipped, one of the main pain points revolved around PDF handling.

This happened when MacOS 11.0 Big Sur was intriduced but I think some updates fixed it, not sure if it was a driver/firmware/OS update.
