#SMILE PDFPEN HOW TO#
The PDFpen apps also now include support for Apple’s Continuity Camera (see “ How to Take Photos and Scan Documents with Continuity Camera in Mojave,” 27 September 2018). Insert Scans or Photos with Continuity Camera In addition, when editing a text imprint added with PDFpen, or when correcting a PDF’s text, you can apply the Font Bar settings to selected text without having to take a trip to the app’s Format menu. If you have ever received a PDF and asked yourself, “What font is that?” this feature can answer the question. When the bar is showing, you can select any text in a PDF to find out how it is formatted. The new Font Bar extends PDFpen’s Editing Bar downward, adding tools to view and change typeface, type style, size, and alignment. As someone who more than occasionally reads PDFs of academic papers and is constantly flipping between endnotes and the main text, I find Split View particularly welcome. Split View is especially useful for those who need to view two parts of a PDF at once. While limiting, this implementation also reduces confusion, as it provides no opportunity for you to accidentally edit the content of the wrong view. The other view is read-only, allowing you to compare its contents with the main view. When displaying a split view, PDFpen treats the left view (for vertical splits) or top view (for horizontal splits) as the main view.

You can scroll each view separately and magnify each independently. The new Split commands let you split a PDFpen window either horizontally or vertically.

(Disclaimer: Smile is a TidBITS sponsor, and I’m the author of the free book, Take Control of PDFpen, which now covers version 11, along with version 4 of the iOS versions of PDFpen.) Split View Simplifies In-Document Comparisons The latest iterations offer numerous useful conveniences to PDF-editing users: a new Split View capability, a text-formatting Font Bar, and support for Apple’s Continuity Camera are the marquee features, but the PDFpen apps include other enhancements as well. With these apps reaching version 11, both Nigel Tufnel and fans of the versatile utilities may have something to cheer about.
