GoodReader for iPad
Good.iWare Ltd.Version: 3.8.0
• File Tabs - switch between recently viewed files without going back to the file list view
• Side Menu for creating PDF annotations - use it as an alternative to the usual popup menus. “Pin” this menu to keep it always on-screen for some heavy annotating job, then close it when you're done.
• new way of creating PDF markups (highlights, underlines, etc.) with the new Side Menu - to markup a text, draw over it with your finger
• Delete local files option for “download-only” sync gets rid of outdated files that are gone from a server
Other improvements:
• “Free 5GB SugarSync Account” button in the SugarSync connection parameters window lets you create a free new account in case if you haven't got one
• PDF's Freehand drawing mode now lets you change color, thickness and opacity while drawing
• redesigned PDF Page Slider (now it also includes Page Up and Down buttons)
• PDF password for a file is now memorized for as long as you keep a file on the file tab panel and don't leave the app.
• files can now be starred and unstarred on the Find Files control panel
• better support for iPad 2 native video mirroring - now you simply have to plug the video cable into an iPad 2, and native video mirroring will be activated right away (the “old style” video output, the one without the menus, can still be activated by using the “Video Out” button on the main screen of the app)
Was new in v.3.7.0:
• fully redesigned popup menus for PDF Annotations - many actions can now be performed with less taps
• “Unflattening” of flattened PDF files. This option is disabled by default, you have to explicitly enable it in settings. If you enable it, all PDF files that you flatten can later be unflattened by your recipients, so all flattened annotations would become editable again. Unflattening can only be done in GoodReader app, and it only applies to files previously flattened by another copy of GoodReader with unflattening option explicitly enabled on a device that was used for flattening. Any intermediate editing of a flattened file makes flattening final and further unflattening impossible.
• better handling of audio remote controls (play/pause button on a headset and soft buttons on multitasking bar, iOS 4.0 or later)
