PDF Expert 5 adds iCloud Drive support and document picker

Posted October 3, 201410 yr

Readdle's find document reader and editor, PDF Expert 5, has been updated to include a whole slew of iOS 8 features. iCloud Drive ensures all of your documents are securely available across multiple devices, and you can open them directly to PDF Expert when looking through your cloud-stored files. For extra security, you can now use TouchID to make sure you're the only one to look through your documents.

Here's a full changelog for PDF Expert 5.2

Zoom Writing (iPad): This is a great tool to write with precision. Essentially, it adds the area that zooms in a part of the page and allows you to handwrite more on a single page or document margins. As you write, the zoomed box moves along the page, automatically adjusting to the pace you need to work at.
AirTurn Support: Perfect news for musicians - now you can turn pages of notes and other documents simply by pressing AirTurn pedals or with your bluetooth keyboard arrow keys. Bookmarks Improvements: Bookmarks manager gets amazing improvements in terms of features and looks.
The Bookmark name editing is now inline
The Position of the page you're currently working on is now highlighted in your application PDF outline
All the bookmarked pages are clearly marked in the PDF pages manager
Annotations summary now includes the context from PDF outline.
