Making its way from iPad to iPhone is the Plus
button, a convenient one-tap pop-up in the lower
right corner which speeds up creation of new folders,
text and PDF files, scanning new documents, or
importing existing files from iCloud Drive, Photos,
cloud storage providers, or network-attached sources.
Naturally, there’s also integration with the built-in
Files app for seamlessly accessing content stored
there, as well as opening files saved in existing
Locations within the app.PDF master
From the beginning, Documents by Readdle included a
built-in web browser, which now offers private browsing
mode. On the iPhone, browser settings are conveniently
located from any open tab – no more hopping back
to in-app settings just to clear data or change the
location of file downloads. There’s even a new option
to choose DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Ecosia, or Yahoo as
the default search engine instead of Google.
While Documents has always been a very capable
PDF reader, version 7.0 introduces an option to
turn the app into a full-fledged editor as well. After
upgrading to an annual subscription (£48.99 per year),
Documents by Readdle unlocks a full complement of
professional tools, allowing users to edit, convert, and
reduce the size of PDF files.
If you already own PDF Expert 6, those editing
features are available free of charge in Documents.
Unfortunately, three advanced tools recently added
to PDF Expert 7 do not get shared, so the only way
