Nutrient Android SDK 10.7 release notes

2 September 2025

Nutrient Android SDK 10.7 introduces important configuration options for annotation behavior, enhanced stylus support, and text form field autocomplete capabilities. This release focuses on improving user interaction patterns and providing more granular control over PDF annotation handling.

A key highlight of this release is the new annotationsBlockLinks configuration option, which gives developers explicit control over how annotations interact with link elements in PDFs. We also significantly expanded stylus support across annotation tools and added autocomplete functionality for text form fields.

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

Annotation behavior control

The most significant change in this release is the introduction of the annotationsBlockLinks configuration option in PdfConfiguration. This option controls whether annotations can block interactions with link annotations underneath them. Previously, this blocking behavior was the default, but since it doesn’t conform to the PDF specification, it’s now an optional feature that must be explicitly enabled.

Developers who rely on annotations blocking link interactions should set annotationsBlockLinks to true in their configuration to maintain the previous behavior.

Enhanced stylus support

We expanded stylus capabilities throughout the annotation system:

  • Annotation eraser tool — Can now be triggered using the stylus button, providing a more intuitive experience for stylus users.
  • Redaction tools — Now support stylus handling for more precise redaction operations.
  • UI improvements — Fixed annotation creation toolbar buttons getting squashed when a stylus is connected.

These improvements make the SDK more responsive to different input methods and provide a better experience for users working with stylus devices.

Text form field autocomplete

The new OnTextFormElementSuggestionRequestListener interface enables developers to implement autocomplete functionality for text form fields. This feature allows for displaying suggestion lists as users type, improving form completion efficiency and user experience.

Content editing improvements

This release includes several enhancements to content editing functionality:

  • Text block positioning — Fixed positioning and visibility of add-textblock floating action buttons, with proper handling during continuous scrolling.
  • Crash prevention — Resolved crashes that could occur when content editing operations were invoked before proper initialization.
  • Visual consistency — Improved the appearance consistency between annotation and embedded file lists.

Electronic signature restoration

We restored the dialog’s default signing colors of Electronic Signatures to their pre-rebrand appearance, ensuring consistency with existing workflows and user expectations.

Looking ahead

With this release, we continue to prioritize developer control and user experience improvements. The addition of explicit configuration options and enhanced input method support reflects our commitment to providing flexible, standards-compliant PDF handling capabilities.
