#PDFPENPRO 7 REVIEW PDF#
Rounding out the new feature list are revamped object property tools that offer easy-to-use color fill, stroke, and opacity controls drawing tools that each retain their color settings between use and (in PDFpenPro 7) the capability to export PDFs to Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF Archive (PDF/A) formats. With PDFpenPro 7’s form creation capabilities you can create forms that include interactive signature fields. When a form document contains such a field, clicking it in PDFpen brings up a dialog that enables you to sign the document using a trackpad or similar device (PDFpen for iOS also supports interactive signature fields, so you can sign with a finger on your iPhone or iPad screen). Interactive signature field support is another new PDFpen feature. Now you can, and, with PDFpenPro 7, you can even edit the text in that layer to correct it. In previous versions of PDFpen and PDFpenPro, you could perform OCR on a scanned text document and search the resulting OCR text, but you couldn’t actually see it. Possibly the standout feature in PDFpen 7 and PDFpenPro 7 is the introduction of a new OCR Layer View. (Versions of PDFpen and PDFpenPro with complete iCloud access have been submitted to the Mac App Store, but are not yet available.) The only iCloud-related features missing in the Smile-vended versions are the lack of an iCloud item at the top of the Favorites sidebar and the capability to share the PDFpen Library with the iOS PDFpen app Both PDFpen Mac apps now require Yosemite and have had their interfaces revised to match Yosemite’s visual style - most obviously by revamping toolbars and editing bars.Īs far as iCloud is concerned, while Apple still requires apps to be sold through the Mac App Store if they are to offer complete iCloud access, the versions of PDFpenPro and PDFpen that Smile sells through its own online store are nonetheless completely capable of accessing and saving documents in iCloud Drive. The release follows Smile’s December 2014 upgrade to the iOS version of the PDFpen app (see “ PDFpen 2 for iOS Offers New Features along Paid Upgrade Path,” 5 December 2014).Īlthough the change lists for the new versions are relatively short, Smile seems to have done a lot of work on the apps’ internal architecture to integrate them into Apple’s OS X 10.10 Yosemite and iCloud Drive.
