    Keep your device awake while reading

    November 15th, 2020

    You can prevent your iPhone or iPad from auto-locking while using PDF Expert. It’s handy when you’re reading a book for a long time without performing any actions on the screen.

    For now, there isn't such an option in PDF Expert for Mac. As a workaround, you can set sleep and wake settings for your Mac, and this will affect PDF Expert as well.

    How to prevent the iPad from automatically sleeping:

    1. Open any PDF file.
    2. Tap  at the top right.
    3. Enable the Keep iPad Awake toggle.
