• Reduce File Size on iPhone and iPad: High, Medium or Low, a page range, or "smaller than N MB". Pictures are shrunk on your device; text, forms, comments and links are kept.
• Pro pack tools now carry a small PRO mark. A lock means the pack isn't unlocked yet; tap it to start that pack's free 14-day trial or buy it.
• Quick actions: press and hold the SpitePDF icon to scan a document, start a blank note, combine files or reopen your last document.
• New Shortcuts actions for Siri, Spotlight and the Shortcuts app: merge, rotate, split, compress, add a password, turn pictures into a PDF and open in SpitePDF.
• Search now fills the screen, remembers your recent searches and shows results in a clear list.
• Hover over a page thumbnail on iPad with a trackpad or mouse to rotate, extract or delete it.
• When a document is signed, the "edit anyway?" question now always appears, even over an open sheet, and "Edit Anyway" finishes what you asked for.
