    PDF Expert allows for keeping your files up-to-date between your iOS and macOS devices. All you need is PDF Expert installed on both platforms, access to the Internet, and any cloud storage (e.g. iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.). Files you edit on the iOS device will sync to your Mac and vice versa if you connect to the same cloud storage account on both platforms.

    Learn more about synchronization in PDF Expert: https://support.readdle.com/pdfexpert/en_US/synchronization/sync-your-pdf-files-between-devices

    -Signatures and stamps sync only if PDF Expert for iOS and your Mac are connected to the same iCloud account on both devices. Other cloud storages do not sync signatures and stamps between devices for now.

    PDF Expert for iOS supports the system-wide Dark Mode to please your eyes while working at night and help you save the battery. As for the Mac version of PDF Expert, it adjusts to the system settings, but the chosen mode doesn't affect the files themselves. Meanwhile, you can set the Night or Sepia theme to improve your reading experience on Mac.

    To enjoy the Dark Mode, please make sure you have iOS 13 or iPadOS and PDF Expert version 7.2.0 or later.

    Once you enable the Dark Mode in the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, PDF Expert also switches to the darkened appearance.

    If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover your files as described in this article. Please note that due to the design specifics of the macOS system, all files you've ever opened in PDF Expert are saved locally on your device, not in the PDF Expert app, and can be modified via the Finder app.

    After the file is deleted from PDF Expert for iOS, it will be placed in the Recently Deleted folder of the PDF Expert app; you will have up to 30 days to restore deleted files.

    The steps are listed in order: start with the first one, see if that helps, and then continue to the next one if it doesn't.

    1. Force Quit the app on your device.
    2. Please make sure to hard reboot your iPhone or your iPad.
    3. Contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below. In your message to our support team, describe the issue you are experiencing with PDF Expert.
    Mac iOS

    Try opening this file in the Preview app - this is a standard macOS viewer that uses the same system component as our app.

    • If the file looks good in the Preview app but freezes in PDF Expert, contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below and, if possible, share the affected file with us - we're happy to help you personally. If the file's size is bigger than 8 MB, please upload it to any cloud storage service and share a link with us.
    • If the file looks the same in the Preview app, the problem is file specific. Apple is likely aware of such cases and a new macOS update might fix the problem - still, if you'd like to make sure your vote is added for the fix they have registered, you may contact Apple Support.
    1. Check if the file contains vector graphics. These are either diagrams and graphs or the text that doesn't look blurry or pixelated even if you zoom it in drastically. Such a file can also look like a checkered background - in this case, it means that the graphics are heavy and our app needs some time to load the content.
    2. Try opening this PDF in the iBooks app - this is a standard iOS app that uses the same system component as we do:

    First, reboot your device:

    1. Before rebooting your device, try to Force Quit the app on your device.
    2. If the restart doesn't help, please reboot your iPhone or your iPad.

    Another temporary solution would be the following:

    1. Try disabling iCloud for PDF Expert: open iOS settings >  iCloud > iCloud Drive > disable PDF Expert toggle.
    2. Enable the Airplane mode.

    Note: If you're unable to access your files in PDF Expert, you can access them in the Files app > PDF Expert location.  

    If none of it helps, please send us the crash logs by following the steps below - we're happy to help you personally. 

    1. Open the iOS Settings app > Privacy > scroll down and tap Analytics > Analytics data.
    2. Find the latest PDF Expert crash log and send it at rdsupport@readdle.com. In your message, describe the issue. In the subject line, type "PDF Expert crashes". We will get back to you as soon as we can.
    1. If the app can be launched, check if you're running the latest version on your Mac App Store account > Updates.
    2. If the app crashes upon launch, restart the app by clicking Force Quit on the app's icon in the dock.

    If none of it helps, please send us the logs at rdsupport@readdle.com by following the steps below - we're happy to help you personally.

    1. Try to Force Quit the app using the Apple Menu > Force Quit > PDF Expert.
    2. Choose to generate the log for Apple.
    3. Copy the log using the CMD+A combination.
    4. Paste the log to the email body. In your message, also describe the issue. In the subject line, type "PDF Expert crashes".
    5. Click Send.

    Note: Since PDF Expert for Mac doesn't have a folder structure, all your files are safely stored on your computer and can be opened with any other PDF viewer app, for instance, the Preview app. 

    Please look through this list and choose "Other" if there is nothing relevant.

    Try printing the file in the Preview app. If you're using a printer with system drivers and if you have trouble printing a file - e.g. some of the elements are printed in black, something is absent on the page or the file can't be printed at all, the reason might be related to the system. PDF Expert uses the macOS system printing, thus we're always suggesting that you try printing the same file in the Preview app since this app uses the same system component as ours in terms of printing. 

    • If the file can't be printed or prints erratically from the Preview app as well, the problem is most likely on the system's side, and we hope this might be fixed with a macOS update. However, you can contact Apple Support just to make sure that your vote for this fix is registered.
    • If the file can't be printed in PDF Expert, but prints just fine in the Preview app, please contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below and we'll get in touch to resolve the issue. We would also appreciate it if you could send us the affected file. If it's bigger than 8 MB, please upload it to any cloud storage service and share a link with us.

    First, keep the file open for a while to see if it loads in the end.

    Some of the third-party apps might not support all the advanced features supported by PDF Expert and this causes edits, annotations, and filled forms made in PDF Expert not to be visible in those apps.

    We recommend opening the file in an advanced PDF editor app (e.g. PDF Expert, our Documents app, or Adobe Reader) to see all your edits and keep on working with a file.

    If opening the file in an advanced PDF Editor is not an option,

    You can check whether your file is in Bin. For this, click the Bin icon in the bottom right corner. If the needed file is here, simply drag & drop it out of the Bin.

    If you use Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover your files as described in this article. Please note that due to the design specifics of the macOS system, all files you've ever opened in PDF Expert are saved locally on your device, not in the PDF Expert app, and can be modified via the Finder app.

    After the file is deleted from PDF Expert for iOS, it will be placed in the Recently Deleted folder of the PDF Expert app; you will have up to 30 days to restore deleted files.

    If your Mac is connected to the iCloud storage, try recovering the deleted files on iCloud.com as described in this article.

    If you delete the file which was located in an iCloud folder of the PDF Expert app, you can also restore it on the iCloud webpage > iCloud settings > Restore files section. If the file was in a synced folder, please check the 'Recently Deleted' folder within your PDF Expert app.

    In case the file can't be opened and instead you see the message about it being corrupted, these are the first aid steps for your PDF: 

    1. Restart your app by clicking Force Quit in Apple Menu or on the app's icon in the dock.
    2. After this, launch the app again and check if the file can be opened.
    3. Try opening the same file in the Preview app and after this check if it opens in our app - opening your corrupted file in the system viewer might trigger the file to be rendered again because of the same system component we're using. If the file can't be opened in Preview as well, contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below and send us the affected file if possible. If the file is bigger than 8 MB, please upload it to any cloud storage and share a link with us. 
    1. Force quit the app on your device.
    2. If the corrupted file is located in the cloud, try downloading it locally and check if it opens. 
    3. If nothing helps, contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below and send us the affected file if possible. If the file is bigger than 8 MB, please upload it to any cloud storage and share a link with us. 
    Please contact us by choosing "Yes" under the question below. In your message, describe the issue. Click "Send" and we'll get in touch to resolve the issue.
