PDFs in landscape view unreadable in new version.
In the latest version of the app, PDFs with pages in both portrait and landscape view get re-PDF’d into entirely portrait view - cutting off or shrinking all of the pages in landscape view. Please fix this issue as it makes PDFs nearly unreadable! More generally, the new redact functionality is useful although only having the option to completely remove redacted text (instead replacing with solid black or characters like ‘XX’) somewhat limits the benefit. Additional edit functions such as highlighting, underlying, comment boxes and signatures would be much more valuable.
Good but lacking
It’s a good app, but there’s no way to apply a password to a document. You can view a document that has one but cannot add a password.
Apple Pencil Support would make this a 5 star
App is fine to view documents but having the ability to annotate documents with the Apple Pencil would make this a great app.
Edit is Good, But Lacks Apple Pencil Support
The change from Docs-to-Go to the new “Edit” app was a big improvement. It’s much nicer now BUT the lack of Apple Pencil 2 support for iPad Pro (3rd Gen) is a huge miss. Add this feature please!
Enhancements needed
It opens most documents well but you can’t view track changes. That makes it not an option for us.
Nice but needs signature capability.
Please add drawing capability so you can add your signature to documents.
