#PDF EXPERT IPAD COST UPDATE#
The version of the app is now “ PDF Expert 6” and the good news is that if you’re already using an older version of PDF Expert (which has historically always cost $9.99), the “basic” update is free.

I declare this update edges PDF Expert slightly ahead of my go-to recommendation of GoodReader. We understand that for casual users the yearly subscription may be a little too high to justify, but for people who work in PDFs all the time, it’s a fair price for the power and additional functionality it provides.Readdle dropped a MAJOR update to PDF Expert yesterday (May 10, 2017) that includes AMAZING features for legal professionals.
#PDF EXPERT IPAD COST UPGRADE#
In our opinion, this is the one missing piece that would make a decision to upgrade to a PRO subscription a no-brainer. There are other ways to apply OCR to a document before you add it to PDF Expert which will still allow you to search the contents of the file, but it would be nice to be able to apply it in the document itself from PDF Expert. One feature we’d love to see PDF Expert add is the ability to apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to PDF documents. For those who do, these are compelling features that make working with PDFs easier. Not everyone will need the ability to compress PDFs in the app, to create PDFs out of Word or Excel files, or care about customizing the toolset in the app. Readdle has managed to provide an update that keeps all traditional functionality for current users, but also offers a couple features for power users that makes the subscription a compelling upgrade. In our opinion, this is the right way to transition to a subscription model. The update notes explicitly say, “all the features you used and loved are still there and improved, so you can use them as before at no extra cost.” There’s even a comparison chart on Readdle’s website that shows you exactly what’s included and what additional features the PRO subscription offers. Nothing is being removed, and there is full transparency as to what current users do and don’t have to pay for. Unlike the Airmail transition, Readdle has been very clear in their communication around the switch. And while no doubt some will balk at the switch to a subscription model, the way Readdle is handling the transition is to be commended. PDF Expert 6 was a paid app with a single in-app purchase, but version 7 is now free to download with a PRO subscription of $49.99/year. The update introduced several new features, but the move that made the most noise was definitely the switch to a subscription model. The new version is a substantial update and includes a new design that makes working with your PDF documents even easier.

PDF Expert by Readdle (our pick for the best app for managing, editing, and reading PDFs on your iPad) recently received an update to version 7.
