Nutrient Android SDK 11.2 release notes

6 March 2026

Nutrient Android SDK 11.2 adds AI Assistant support for encrypted documents, introduces animated annotation edit handles with movable callout knee points, and improves drag-to-reorder and swipe-to-delete gestures across the annotation and bookmark lists.

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

AI Assistant for encrypted documents

The server-backed AI Assistant now supports encrypted documents, enabling users to interact with AI-powered features on protected PDFs.

Annotation edit handle improvements

Annotation edit handles have been redesigned with animations and are now a customizable drawable. This release also adds the ability to move the knee point of callout annotations, giving more control over callout layout. A related bug where long-pressing edit handles conflicted with annotation selection — and where long-pressing measurement annotations locked the magnifier view — has been fixed.

Improved list gestures

Drag-to-reorder and swipe-to-delete gestures have been improved in both the annotation list and the bookmark list. The bookmark list also benefits from improved refresh performance.

Dependency upgrades

  • Android Gradle Plugin (AGP) upgraded from 8.10.1 to 8.13.2.
  • Kotlin upgraded to 2.3.10.
  • Compose and other dependencies upgraded to the latest versions.

Bug fixes

This release addresses several issues:

  • Autosave ANR — An ANR caused by autosave blocking the main thread in onStop() when the native document lock is contended has been fixed.
  • Page rendering — A potential crash when a render operation is canceled has been fixed.
  • Page loading — The loading spinner is no longer shown when a low-resolution render is already available, and it now correctly appears when swiping to unrendered pages.
  • Measurement annotations — Measurement annotations no longer incorrectly use AP stream rendering instead of platform rendering when reopening a saved document.
  • Overlay views — Overlay views now correctly receive click events when setAnnotationOverlayAboveOverlayViews(true) is set.
  • Paste toolbar — The paste toolbar is no longer dismissed immediately after appearing when long-pressing in annotation creation mode.
  • Grouped annotations — Annotations with an /IRT reference but a /Group reply type (e.g. AutoCAD SHX cross marks inside checkboxes) are now correctly treated as visible page content.
  • Form editing bar — The FormEditingBar is no longer hidden under the virtual keyboard in certain circumstances, and immersive mode now works correctly after an editing operation.
  • Text rendering — Text annotations with certain fonts, like Calibri, no longer overlap when rendered across multiple lines.
  • Link destinations — Destination resolution for link annotations and outlines in PDFs with large name trees has been fixed.
  • Content editing — Incorrect text placement when editing tagged PDFs has been fixed by preserving text in the correct content stream graphics state.
  • Ink highlighter — Export rendering for ink highlighter annotations with a background color using multiply blend mode has been fixed.
