Full changelog

Encrypted PDFs (owner-restricted RC4) no longer fail with Unexpected token 'xref' when rotating pages. PdfSharpCore can silently produce a broken cross-reference entry after saving encrypted files; KillerPDF now pipes the file through PDFium to repair the XRef and retries automatically.
Page view now fits to page after a rotation so the full rotated page is visible without manual rezoom.
Mailto and other link annotations with visible borders (colored rectangles that looked like strikethroughs) no longer render those borders in saved PDFs.
Right-click a link annotation to remove it from the PDF entirely (Remove Link from PDF). Previously, clearing annotations only removed the KillerPDF overlay while the native PDF link remained active.
Right-click a mailto link to copy just the email address; right-click an http/https link to copy the URL.
