Readdle Releases PDF Expert 5.1 – Now a Universal App, Continuous Scroll, More

Readdle has updated their popular PDF Reader to version 5.1. The formerly iPad-only app is now a universal app, working on both iPad and iPhone devices. Other improvements include continuous scroll, Calculations in LiveCycle Designer forms, and speed improvements.

What’s New in Version 5.1.1

The biggest update for PDF Expert 5 is out!

  • Works on both iPhone and iPad – PDF Expert 5.1 now works on both iPad and iPhone. So you don’t have to purchase it twice. The iPhone version is as powerful as the iPad one.
  • Now you can create freehand drawings and figures, manage pages and merge PDFs, select annotation groups and edit them, share files via SMB, and mark your files with colors and stars. All that powerful functionality is wrapped into gorgeous flat design.
  • Continuous Scroll – Continuous scroll is finally here! This means that you can scroll PDF documents vertically. It is smooth and fast. You asked – we did it. Check it out right now.
  • Calculations in LiveCycle Designer forms – You can now use PDF Expert 5.1 for calculations in PDF forms that are created in Adobe Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer. For example, input quantity and price per unit to see the final price of the order.
  • Speeded Up – PDF Expert 5.1 works much faster now! You will feel the difference once you search something within a PDF file, or switch between tabs or even annotate a big PDF file. We are also proud that the new cloud sync engine will perform tasks blazingly fast.

All existing users of PDF Expert 5 can download the update and install it on their iPhones for free. For the rest (including the users of PDF Expert 4.7 for iPhone) it will be a separate app that costs $9.99.

PDF Expert 5.1 is available in the iOS App Store for $9.99 [DIRECT LINK]
