Nutrient Android SDK 10.6 release notes

11 August 2025

Nutrient Android SDK 10.6 brings significant improvements to AI Assistant, along with UI enhancements and better document handling reliability. This release continues our commitment to providing a robust PDF SDK experience on Android.

We expanded AI Assistant with multiple document support for both remote documents (server-backed) and local PDF files, making it easier to work across different document sources. The UI improvements include better styling options for the outline view, property inspector, and thumbnail grid.

This release contains several fixes and enhancements. For the full list of changes, see our changelog.

AI Assistant enhancements

The standout feature of this release is the expanded AI Assistant functionality. You can now work with multiple documents simultaneously, whether they’re stored remotely through a server-backed implementation or locally on the device. This makes it much easier to analyze, compare, and extract insights from multiple PDF files in a single AI conversation.

UI improvements

We added several new styling options to give you more control over the appearance of PDF viewer components:

  • Outline view width — New styleable element for customizing the outline view width with the pspdf__width dimension in the pspdf__OutlineView styleable.
  • Property inspector icons — New pspdf__buttonIconTint attribute to customize button icon colors in the property inspector.
  • Thumbnail selection — New pspdf__itemSelectedBorderColor attribute to customize the selection frame in PdfThumbnailGrid.

Additionally, we improved text selection retention during content editing drag-and-drop operations. We also fixed several rendering issues, including PDF content partially hiding in vertical continuous scrolling mode and black screen issues with non-default blend modes.

Document handling improvements

This release includes important reliability improvements for document operations:

  • Enhanced document save reliability to prevent file corruption during app crashes.
  • Better handling of orphan page references when exporting edited documents.
  • Improved discovery of widgets not correctly linked to form fields.

Looking ahead

We continue to focus on performance, reliability, and developer experience improvements. The removal of deprecated components like the old Android YouTube player library helps streamline the SDK for modern Android development.
