Changelog
What's new.
Every release of PDF Workbench for Mac — features, improvements, and fixes. The app updates itself automatically.
- v0.1.9 Latest2026-06-10
- Maintenance build: refreshed the auto-update signing key.
- v0.1.82026-06-04
- First public release for Apple Silicon Macs (Intel to follow).
- One unified, on-demand Export experience across Home, the page editor, the viewer, and right-click — pick an action, choose a folder, done.
- Right-click any page (grid, list, or viewer) to export it as PDF / PNG / JPEG, rotate, or exclude.
- Everything stays local to your Mac — your files never leave the device.
- 14-day trial; activate a license key in Settings → License to keep exporting after it ends.
- Automatic updates with one-click install.
- v0.1.72026-05-31
- After saving or exporting from the home screen, a Show in Finder button now lets you jump straight to the output folder.
- Compress PDF now shows how much smaller the result is (e.g. "23% smaller"). If the file was already optimised, the result screen says so instead.
-
Fix
exported PDFs now always have the correct
.pdfextension on disk. - Fix the app failed to launch on some Macs due to missing system libraries. Those libraries are now bundled inside the app.
- Fix Compress and Merge could fail with an internal error on certain PDFs.
- License key activation is now available in Settings → License. Paste your key to keep exporting after the trial ends.
- v0.1.62026-05-30
- Fix when a newer update appeared while one was already downloaded, installing could fail and force a confusing re-download. The right version now installs cleanly.
- Fix double-clicking the title bar now reliably zooms the window (it previously only worked near the window edges).
- The app now opens at a more compact default size (860×600); your window size is still remembered between launches once you resize it.
- v0.1.52026-05-30
- Updates now relaunch into the new version automatically after installing.
- v0.1.42026-05-29
- Fix automatic updates could download but failed to install.
- A downloaded update now survives quitting the app, so it doesn't re-download.
- v0.1.32026-05-29
- Update-install reliability testing.
- v0.1.22026-05-29
- Clearer error messages if an update can't finish installing.
- v0.1.12026-05-29
- Software updates are easier to find — Settings → License & Updates — and now always show your current version.
- More reliable update downloads.
- v0.1.02026-05-29
Initial macOS release (Intel + Apple Silicon).
- Organize, combine, rotate, and reorder pages, then export as one PDF or many.
