Readdle today is pleased to announce the release of PDF Expert for iPad 1.5, the latest version of its cutting edge application for working with PDF documents. The update extends PDF annotation capabilities for the iPad users, adding the ability to sign documents, fill in scanned PDF forms and type text directly onto the PDF file, in addition to the existing markup annotations. All changes made with PDF Expert can be viewed with Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview or other compatible applications.

The new version adds text fill-in feature to annotation functionality. This allows users to type text directly on PDF file, and even makes possible filling in scanned PDF forms right on the iPad. PDF Expert 1.5 lets iPad users sign PDF document with their own handwritten signature. Contracts, agreements, statements can be immediately affirmed with the stamp signature and sent back via email or shared through cloud storages.

"Thousands of people receive important documents that need to be signed or filled in and sent back. Typically you would print out the file, use the ink pen to make necessary changes and then either fax or email the scanned document." said Igor Zhadanov, Readdle CEO. "PDF Expert lets you go paperless, by doing all of this right on your iPad, which is faster, greener and more secure."

Pricing and Availability:
PDF Expert for iPad 1.5 is $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies), a free upgrade for existing owners, and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
