PDFThumbnailView: Not able to select thumbnails in Sierra for MAC OSx App

I am using PDFKit. Please refer here

PDFThumbnailView does not allow to drag or select the thumbnail after I have updated my Mac OS x to Sierra.

Have already set 

[_pdfThumbnailView setPDFView:_pdfView];

and _pdfThumbnailView outlet from xib too.

If works well for previous OS x version.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Apple really screwed PDFKit in MacOS 10.12, among the many other bugs in it, PDFThumbnailView is unusable for the most part, it doesn't do anything except displaying a list of pdf pages (with glitches).

I've spent much time into this but I couldn't find any workaround. I'm afraid your options are either waiting for Apple to fix this (hopefully) or rolling out your own thumbnail view replacement.

Creating your own thumbnail view shouldn't be overly complicated. I'd use NSCollectionView and render the thumbnails into its grid. Then wire all the selection and drag and drop with the PDFView. I'm planning to do exactly this if Apple doesn't fix PDFThumbnailView anytime soon.

(ps: there is a nice tutorial on NSCollectionView on raywenderlich.com )
