Search that can say AND, OR and NOT
Mac
Find by query, then act on every result at once.
- Quoted phrases, AND, OR and NOT (or a leading minus) in the find bar
- Search all open documents, or a folder from the Folder Search tool tab
- Highlight All, Underline All and Redact All on the results
- Export the result list as CSV
Mac · iPhone · iPad
Make marks and form fields part of the pages of the open document.
- Applied to the document you have open, on Mac, iPhone and iPad
- On Mac, undo it if you change your mind
- Flatten a Copy (Save As) still works as before
Reduce File Size, redesigned
Mac · iPhone · iPad
A new size-reduction engine with a clearer sheet.
- Redesigned Reduce File Size sheet on iPhone and iPad
- On Mac, a report of what changed once the file is reduced
Results depend on the file; scans and image-heavy PDFs shrink the most.
Mac · iPhone · iPad
One sheet for the PDFs you send out.
- Built-in and saved presets, with your last settings remembered
- Makes a new file and leaves the open document unchanged; on iPhone and iPad, save it to Files or share it
Converting to PDF/X inside Export PDF is part of Pro (Press).
Mac
When a Bind finishes, it can turn into a normal PDF tab.
- Convert to PDF Tab, right where you built it
- Bind never opens an extra window
Mac · iPhone · iPad
Open them, and build your own.
- Detects a portfolio and shows its attachments
- Portfolio Builder tool tab on Mac, and a builder on iPhone and iPad
- Attachment names are checked before anything is extracted
Form scripts on iPhone and iPad
iPhone · iPad
Calculations and validation in PDF forms now run on iOS.
- Runs the JavaScript in AcroForm fields on the device, nothing uploaded
- A script that runs too long, or fails, is stopped and the form stays usable
Covers common form calculations and validations. Unusual scripts may not behave exactly as in Acrobat.
Mac · iPhone · iPad
Hand the device over for a one-time signature.
- A one-time signing sheet that does not save the signature to your library
- The hand-over signature is erased when you are done, and any left behind are swept away
A better file library on iPhone and iPad

Keep what you use close.
- Color tags and pinned favorites
- Select several files to merge, zip or convert
iPhone · iPad
Reflow a PDF into a comfortable page.
- Themes and type controls
- Find inside the reflowed text
- Built on an on-device layout analysis
Mac
Bigger jobs get a tab of their own, right next to your documents.
- Split & Extract Studio: cut a PDF into files by pages, bookmarks, blank pages, text, size or comments, and see the cuts first
- Form Data Manager: collect the answers from many filled forms into a table, or fill a form from a spreadsheet
- File Inspector: see what is in many PDFs at a glance, and set their title, author and language together
- Batch Processor: run actions on many files at once, with saved macros and a Hot Folder
- Compare: two PDFs, side by side or as a picture of what changed
Mac
Details we kept bumping into.
- Spelling in comments, callouts, notes, replies and in-place text edits (grammar is off unless you turn it on)
- Locked and Read-only marks, with Arrange controls
- Measure and Calibrate offer a scale detected from the sheet; you stay in control

Coffee Mug, To-Go Cup, Coffee Stain, Coffee Stain (Red) and Latte Art.
