Version 1.3.0 released on October 7, 2026

  • New feature: Move, copy, and swap editorial regions and ads: drag one by its grab handle to where you want it (hold Option/Alt to drop a copy), or right-click it for the same options. You can also rearrange several on the same page, or drag one onto a different page, where it settles into a fitting spot in that page s region/ad grid.

  • Enhancement: Rewritten the underlying engine for moving pages, making every drag operation more reliable and responsive.

  • Enhancement: Copying a page with Option/Alt-drag now works as expected releasing Option/Alt partway through the drag switches it to a regular move instead.

  • Enhancement: Proper cursor indicators while dragging pages: a grab cursor for moving, a copy cursor for duplicating, and a not-allowed cursor when the drop target isn t valid.

  • Enhancement: Dragging a page beyond the top or bottom of the work area now scrolls automatically.

  • Enhancement: All dialogs are now movable, so you can reposition them anywhere on screen.

  • Bug fix Windows only: the page ghost now displays correctly at every zoom level.

  • Bug fix: Text in the exported .pdf no longer extends over page borders and now hyphenates correctly.

Version 1.2.0 released

  • New feature Native .tatin file format: save your project as a native PageTatin file with the new Save as button in the top bar. .json remains available as Export as JSON for backwards compatibility.

  • Enhancement Export wording is now consistent for .pdf: the menu command, dialog, and confirmation button all say Export (previously Save).

Verson 1.1.0 released

New feature Groundwork for a native file format: PageTatin now has the code in place to read and write its own native file format. .json remains available as a separate export format for backwards compatibility.

  • Enhancement The app binary is now named PageTatin (previously App), so it shows up clearly in Activity Monitor, Task Manager, and other system reporting tools, and is easier for IT teams to identify and manage.

  • Enhancement License tab: you can now give each activated device a name, making your machines easy to tell apart. This helps when you need support to free up a device slot for a machine you can no longer deactivate yourself one that was damaged, lost, stolen, or sold, or where the operating system was reinstalled after the drive was wiped.

  • Enhancement Better handling when adding thumbnail images from a multi-page .pdf while cover pages are selected.

  • Enhancement Hold Option (Mac) or Alt (Windows) and click a category or status to open Settings for editing it.

  • Enhancement You can now export the page and ad statistics on their own, without the rest of the flatplan.

  • Enhancement .pdf thumbnails that contain crop marks are now shown automatically at the cropped size.
