Be careful what you wish for.
The primary problem with Sierra with respect to PDFs is that Apple chose to
rewrite the PDFKit framework in macOS 10.12 and it broke a number of things
that PDF-related developers relied upon...
Apple wants to use a common foundation for both iOS and macOS. However, it was
released way too early, and for the first time (at least in my experience)
Apple deprecated several features without caring about compatibility. And to
make things worse, lots of former features are now broken or not implemented at
all, meaning that we had to add lots of workarounds or implement stuff on our
own. And there’s still work left to be done.
10.12.2 introduces new issues (it seems that Apple wants to fix at least the
broken compatibility now) and of course fixed almost none of the other issues.
