PDFpen 7.2 Adds Cloud Tool, Advanced Search Options and More

San Francisco, CA – JULY 7, 2015 – Smile has released PDFpen 7.2, an update to its all-purpose PDF editing tool for OS X. This update includes a new Cloud annotation tool as well as an option for case-sensitive searches.

There is a new Editing preference which allows for optional automatic switching between the Edit and Select Text tools.

The popup notes on highlights and stamps now offer a Delete note button and the context menu offers Edit and Delete note options. The sidebar’s annotation list offers icons for easy identification of annotation type, wrapped text for improved readability, and date, author, and location when available.

PDFpen users will notice a new Inspector tab for viewing document permissions. Editing document permissions is still PDFpenPro only.

“The new cloud annotation tool and enhanced search options make PDFpen an even more flexible and powerful tool,” said Philip Goward, Smile founder.

PDFpenPro and PDFpen 7 work with PDFpen for iPad & iPhone v.2, allowing seamless editing across devices when used with Dropbox storage or iCloud Drive.

PDFpen retails for US $74.95, PDFpenPro for $124.95. Family Pack licenses, which cover up to five computers in one household, are $94.95 for PDFpen and $149.95 for PDFpenPro. Office Pack licenses start at $224.95 for PDFpen (5 users) and $349.95 for PDFpenPro (5 users).

Upgrades from earlier single user versions of either application are US $30.00, and free to users who purchased on or after August 1, 2014. Upgrades to PDFpenPro 7 from previous versions of PDFpen are $50. Upgrade pricing for Family Packs and Office Packs is found on our web store: http://smle.us/store
