PDF Expert is even faster and easier to use
Stage Manager for iPad
PDF Expert uses the iPadOS 16 Stage Manager to stack different window sizes in a single view. You can drag and drop windows from the side, or open apps from the Dock to create groups of apps for faster, more flexible multitasking.
- Open several PDFs side-by-side and collect information from documents, apps or websites, while preparing for a lecture or seminar.
- Later this year, Stage Manager will also unlock full external display support with resolutions of up to 6K, so you can arrange the ideal workspace, and work with up to four apps on iPad and four apps on the external display.
Live Text for images & videos
With Apple Live Text you can engage with embedded text from multiple file types, to copy, share, call phone numbers, visit websites and translate between languages.
- Students working with scans of handouts can open the documents in PDF Expert and with Live Text interact with the embedded text: copy, follow the link, translate foreign languages, convert currencies, and much more. In one click you can even call phone numbers or visit websites.
Lock Screen widgets for iPhone
Get quick access from your iPhone lock screen to your audio player and most recent files or favorite files. Some of the functionality of iOS/iPadOS 16 updates are:
- Create a “Travel” folder in PDF Expert and put all your transport tickets, hotel bookings and other traveling PDFs into that folder. With the “Favorites” widget in one tap you’ll be able access this folder from the lock screen of your iPhone.
- You might have a recorded lecture to go along with a presentation or handout. With your resources at hand, jump straight into your audio player and enhance your study by revisiting additional information from your lecturer.
