PDFpen 8.3 Adds Touch Bar Support

San Francisco, CA – December 7, 2016 – Smile, the developer of productivity applications for Mac®, iPhone® and iPad®, has released PDFpen 8.3, an update to its all-purpose PDF editing tool for Mac. This version includes Touch Bar support for both editing tools and PDFpenPro’s Table of Contents editing tools.

“For apps such as PDFpen, where fast access to tools is a must, the Touch Bar is great,’” said Philip Goward, Smile Founder. “We’re glad to be able to provide yet another way for our customers to be more efficient at work.”

PDFpenPro and PDFpen 8 work with PDFpen for iPad & iPhone version 2, allowing seamless editing across devices when used with Dropbox or iCloud.

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, and free to users who purchased on or after January 1, 2016. Upgrades from previous versions of PDFpen to PDFpenPro 8 are $50. Upgrade pricing for Family Packs and Office Packs is found on our web store: http://smle.us/store

PDFpen 8 and PDFpenPro 8 require macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) and work great on macOS 10.12 (Sierra) and macOS 11.11 (El Capitan).
