I was surprised today when I launched PDFpenPro 8.3.1 to work on a PDF and it crashed instantly, well before the app had a chance to load. PDFpenPro blew out on my MacBook Air as well, which struck me as odd — both it and my iMac had been running macOS 10.12.3 Sierra for some time, and the app had worked correctly on both Macs recently.
Luckily, my first guess at a solution worked: all I did was download the new PDFpenPro 8.3.2 manually. Replacing the old version with the new one restored PDFpenPro to full working order. Swinsian 2 0 2 – music manager and player salaries.
Shortly afterward, all PDFpen and PDFpenPro users received email from Smile that apologized for the inconvenience, explained the problem briefly, and gave the same solution.
Smile has issued version 8.3 of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, which adds support for the Touch Bar on the new MacBook Pro for accessing editing bar tools and, in PDFpenPro, the Table of Contents. The PDF editing apps also correctly reflect expanded state of a saved Table of Contents, resolve a document-specific crashing bug, and fix a localized license.
For more details, I contacted Smile's Greg Scown, whose expansion of the email's explanation shows just how involved the modern Apple development world has become. Greg said that the reason PDFpen crashed — even before it actually launched — was because Smile's developer signing certificate from Apple had expired. Code signing is a way of assuring users that an app comes from a known source and hasn't been modified since it was last signed — it's a way to prevent bad guys from attaching malware to legitimate apps.
- PDFpenPro is the best alternative I found to Acrobat Pro (which I want to get away from as only the subscription version will work on macOS 10.15 Catalina). I looked at a bunch of different PDF editors, and only PDFpenPro has every feature of Acrobat Pro that I depend on.

Requirements: Intel, 64-bit processor, OS X 10.10 or later.
In the past, the expiration of a code signing certificate had no effect on already shipped software. PDFpen 6.3.2, which Smile still makes available for customers using OS X 10.7 Lion, 10.8 Mountain Lion, and 10.9 Mavericks, is signed with a certificate that expired long ago, and it has no trouble launching.
What's new with PDFpen 8 is that, in addition to being code signed, it has a provisioning profile, which is essentially a permission slip from Apple that's checked against an online database in order to allow the app to perform certain actions, called entitlements. For PDFpen, the entitlement that's being granted is the capability to access iCloud despite being sold directly, rather than through the Mac App Store, a feature that wasn't possible until about a year ago.
Since PDFpen's provisioning profile is also signed using Smile's code signing certificate, the expiration of the certificate rendered the provisioning profile invalid. An app called taskgated-helper determines this even before PDFpen's code runs, so there's no way for Smile to detect the error condition and present an error to the user. Since the developer's code never runs, macOS should recognize what's going on and display an error message that encourages users to contact the developer.
The problem appears to be unique to apps that have provisioning profiles and are sold outside the Mac App Store. Since Smile's certificate was good for only a year, it's likely that other direct-purchase apps with iCloud entitlements will run into this problem soon too. As with PDFpen, downloading a new version with a current certificate should resolve the issue. Since the initial publication of this article, we've learned that both 1Password and Soulver have fallen victim to this problem.
Translator 1 2 1 bolum. Smart converter pro 3 0 14 piece. Apple renewed Smile's code signing certificate for five years, so if other developers receive a similarly long renewal, that will allow Apple to put off solving the problem within macOS.
Note that Mac App Store apps should be immune from this sort of problem since they're signed by Apple when distributed instead of the developer. If Apple failed to keep its certificates current, vast numbers of Mac App Store apps would crash, so Apple needs to stay on top of renewing its certificates. Back in 2015, Apple did, in fact, have a certificate renewal that caused numerous Mac App Store apps to fail to launch, reporting that they were 'damaged.' That problem was a little different, but it shows that even Apple doesn't necessarily anticipate how everything fits together.

Here's What's New
Split-view mode for editing
Need to refer to one part of a document while working on another? PDFpen 11 adds the ability to quickly and simultaneously view different parts of a document at once. Found in Window > Split, you can split the screen horizontally or vertically. Now you can simplify editing by reducing the number of open tabs or windows.
Import scans from Continuity Camera
Save time by using PDFpen along with Continuity Camera for scanning. Simply launch PDFpen, choose the File > Import from iPhone or iPad > Scan Documents, opening the camera app on your iPhone or iPad. The image will appear instantly in PDFpen. From PDFpen, edit your scan, compress file size, OCR, archive and more–all on the go.
Automatic deskew independent of OCR
Previously, automatic deskew was available with OCR. Now, choose Edit > Deskew Pages/ Document to automatically deskew a page or document at your discretion.
Option to specify default zoom
Have a preferred zoom level? Choose Preferences > General, and under 'Default zoom' select 100%, 150%, 'Fit to Page,' or 'Fit to Width.' Your settings will remain persistent across multiple different documents.
Font Bar for expressive font control
Now you can quickly see and select font typeface, size, style, and justification when editing documents. Reveal or hide the Font Bar by choosing View > Show Font Bar. Font information will display for selected text and new text imprints created with the Text Tool. PDFpenPro users, choose your font typeface, size, style, and justification while creating interactive text fields with the Text Field Tool. Changes to text properties will be made seamlessly without the additional step of opening the font window (Cmd+T).
Add multiple items to the Library at once
By popular demand, users can now select and add multiple items simultaneously to the custom section of the Library. Simply hold down the Shift key to select multiple objects as a unit and add 'Selected Imprint' to the Library's Custom tab. Your objects–as a single item–will be saved to the PDFpen Library for reuse. PDFpenPro users, you can now save frequently used Form Fields in the Library as well!
Improved Sidebar
You asked, we delivered. Under Sidebar > Annotations view, see your lines, scribbles, and shapes. Thumbnail sizes remain persistent. For PDFpenPro users, Table of Contents entries now wrap, simplifying navigation and editing.
