New Intuitive UI Design
PDFpen's UI has been thoughtfully re-designed and modernized, inspired by best-in-class editing applications. We've kept the interface familiar while refining and simplifying access to important tools and their properties, among many other enhancements. The overall app experience is much easier and more enjoyable, helping users feel instantly at home.

Toolbar
The Toolbar is the primary destination for essential, most frequently used tools. We've reorganized the toolbar with this in mind. Basic markup tools are now available at your fingertips. Click the down arrow next to each button, such as Highlight, Annotate, Form*, or Draw and select your desired tool. Keep any Annotate, Form, or Draw tool consistently in use by double-clicking on the selected tool.

Editing Bar
Specialized and action-oriented tools are located here. Font settings, formerly found in the Font Bar, are now conveniently located in the Editing bar for rapid access to properties. Adjust font type, size, style as well as color directly in the font section. Object Properties - such as stroke and fill color controls - are clearly defined so you can select properties for your text annotations, lines, and shapes without confusion. The Editing bar updates based on the objects currently selected for editing.

Sidebar
The Sidebar button toggles. To hide the sidebar, click on the Sidebar button. The canvas will seamlessly grow and shrink accordingly. Highlight colors are also visible in the Annotations view along with other annotations.

Modernized Icons
Icons are important for easy navigation and interaction. All icons are updated to provide a cleaner, fresher, and user-friendly look and feel for a more streamlined experience.

Improved Highlighting Experience
Love highlighting? Take control of highlighting with the refreshed Highlight tool. The highlight icon reflects the currently chosen color. Switch seamlessly between colors. Edit custom colors directly from the Highlight button.

MRC Compression Customization
We're always seeking ways to accommodate your specific needs through customization. By popular request, adjust MRC compression in Preferences. Select from a range of MRC compression levels-None, Best Compression, Better Compression, Balanced, Better Quality, Best Quality-suitable for your particular scanned document.

◎ Table of Contents Improvements

Ability to Reassign Entries (Only in PDFpenPro)
Editing Table of Contents entries is easier than ever. If a current Table of Contents entry links to page 8, for example, but you've replaced that specific page with another page, you can assign the entry to link to the text on a new page. It only takes a couple of steps. From the Table of Contents view, select an entry and click on Set Destination in the Cog menu action button. Select new text to reassign the entry.

Revamped Online User Guide
We understand how important it is to find answers quickly, whether you are a new or experienced power user. More importantly, we also understand how a well-organized user's manual is essential to getting the most out of the product and succeed.

With version 13, we've reorganized and migrated the entire User Guide online to enable rapid searching and browsing, whether directly through our site or using your favorite browser. For further guidance, our complimentary eBook, Take Control of PDFpen, will allow you to obtain more detailed information offline at your convenience.

A Fresh New Logo
After years and several iterations of the classic PDFpen logo, our in-house design team worked to bring a new, more cohesive visual identity to PDFpen and PDFpenPro 13. The new logos and icons use a simpler color palette and a more streamlined visual design. The beautiful, new design will make it much easier to find as you scan through your apps.
