RevPDF 4.5: the biggest mobile update yet

RevPDF 4.5.0 is rolling out now on Android and iOS, and it's the largest update we've ever shipped on mobile. Auto redaction, find and replace, a multi-tabbed viewer, auto save, new themes, and a long list of editor upgrades, all still 100% offline, with your files never leaving your device. Desktop will follow; mobile gets it first.

Auto redaction

True redaction has always been one of RevPDF's headline features, the content is removed from the file itself, not hidden under a black box. 4.5 makes it dramatically faster: instead of drawing a box over every occurrence by hand, auto redaction finds the content for you and removes every instance permanently. Redacting a name or account number from a 40-page contract now takes seconds, not minutes.

Find and replace

Search any text across your document and replace it everywhere in one action. Fixing a wrong date, an old company name, or a typo repeated across a long PDF no longer means editing page by page.

A multi-tabbed PDF viewer

Open several PDFs at once and switch between them in tabs, just like a browser. Comparing a contract against its revision, or referencing one document while editing another, finally works the way it should on a phone or tablet.

Auto save and stability

Your edits are now saved automatically as you work, so an interruption, a phone call, a low battery, a switch to another app, never costs you progress. Alongside auto save, 4.5 includes significant crash fixes and stability optimisation across the app. It's the most reliable RevPDF has ever been.

A better editor

  • Continuous scrolling, scroll smoothly through your document while editing instead of flipping page by page
  • More drawing tools, an expanded markup toolkit for annotating, sketching, and highlighting
  • Comments, links, and bookmarks, leave notes, add hyperlinks, and bookmark pages for instant navigation
  • Split a page down the middle, cut any page in half vertically or horizontally, perfect for scanned book spreads and two-up layouts

New tools

  • Extract all images, pull every image out of a PDF in one action, no screenshots, no cropping
  • PDF metadata editor, view and edit a document's title, author, subject, and keywords directly
  • Print, send your PDF straight to a printer from inside the app
  • Share from screen, share the document you're viewing right from the screen, without digging back through the file picker

Three themes: Coffee, Classic, and Charcoal

4.5 ships with a refreshed interface and three themes to match how you like to work: Coffee, a warm reading-friendly tone, Classic RevPDF, the look you know, and Charcoal, a deep dark mode for late-night editing. UI polish runs throughout the whole app.

Still offline. Still yours.

Everything new in 4.5 follows the same rule as everything before it: it all happens on your device. Auto redaction doesn't send your document to a server to "analyse" it. Find and replace doesn't index your files in a cloud. No account, no upload, no telemetry.

RevPDF on Android and iOS is $9.99 once, yours forever, never a subscription. If you bought it before, 4.5 is a free update.
