With this update, we`ll be asking you to agree to a new EULA, and it`s a good thing! We`re now asking for much fewer permissions from you to collect analytics data. We`ve modified Section 2 of the EULA by removing references to third parties collecting data. For quite a while, we were using a certain big-name 3rd-party analytics software. But being privacy advocates we are, we never liked the idea of having some software that we have no control of linked to our code. So we`ve finally written our own super-lightweight and non-intrusive analytics package that only collects the absolute minimum of the information we need - which buttons you pressed, and which you didn`t - stuff like that. And now we can guarantee it. Because we wrote every single line of that code ourselves! So please kindly press Accept EULA after installing this update and rest assured that your privacy will always be our priority!

• by popular demand, we`re enabling syncing a single local file/folder to several remote ones. Such unpredictable practice is strongly discouraged, so you must explicitly enable it in settings.

This folder doesn`t get backed up to iTunes or iCloud, resulting in smaller backup sizes and shorter backup times. Use this folder for files that can be easily restored or redownloaded in case of a loss. However, if a file can`t be easily redownloaded, please move it out of this folder, so it will be backed up during your next backup session.

v.3.7.0, 3.7.1

• fully redesigned popup menus for PDF Annotations - many actions can now be performed with less taps
• "Unflattening" of flattened PDF files. This option is disabled by default, you have to explicitly enable it in settings. If you enable it, all PDF files that you flatten can later be unflattened by your recipients, so all flattened annotations would become editable again. Unflattening can only be done in GoodReader app, and it only applies to files previously flattened by another copy of GoodReader with unflattening option explicitly enabled on a device that was used for flattening. Any editing of a flattened file makes flattening final and further unflattening impossible.
• better handling of audio remote controls (play/pause button on a headset and soft buttons on multitasking bar, iOS 4.0 or later)

v.3.6.0, 3.6.1

• Data Protection. Now GoodReader takes advantage of iOS`s ability to encrypt individual files to make sure your data is secure even if your device gets lost or stolen. ATTENTION!!! Special procedures need to be performed (and also some limitations apply). Be ABSOLUTELY sure to read the "How-To" manual on Data Protection, if you want to use this feature.
• Flatten PDF annotations. Now you can flatten your PDF files to embed annotations into the main PDF page body. This will make them visible in all PDF-capable apps (including Mail and Safari), regardless of those apps` inability to display PDF annotations. This also makes your annotations non-editable, which may be useful if you want to prevent your notes and drawings from being altered by someone else. "Flatten" option is also available when sending files from GoodReader via EMail or via "Open In..." menu. GoodReader does the "smart flattening" - it preserves all existing PDF hyperlinks, while flattening notes and drawings.
• symbolic PDF page labels are now supported. Use symbolic labels (i, ii, iii, etc.) to go to a page. This also addresses the issue when logical page 1 in a PDF document doesn`t correspond to physical page 1.
• PDF Annotations: improved compatibility of Typewriter notes and text boxes with Mac`s Preview app and Google Docs online viewer. All advanced properties (callouts, cloudy border, etc.) created in GoodReader should now be visible in those apps
• video files can now be played via AirPlay (iOS 4.3 or later)
• fixed the issue when only one audio track was played in the background
• improved connection to certain Microsoft IIS / Sharepoint WebDAV servers
• improved handling of untrusted server certificates when connecting to secure WebDAV, IMAP and POP3 servers
• faster syncing of large amount of small files with some secure servers (iDisk, Dropbox, SugarSync, etc.)
• faster SFTP downloads
• more stable SugarSync connection

v.3.5.0, 3.5.1

• accessing SFTP servers + SFTP Sync
• new type of sync - "Download only" sync. This type of sync doesn`t care what happens with your local files, it never puts anything on a server, never deletes anything from it, it only looks for fresh remote files and downloads them. Great for centralized document distribution to a group of people, when documents are frequently updated.
• PDF Annotations: font size can now be changed for text boxes and Typewriter tool

Other improvements:

• PDF Annotations: Typewriter tool now respects page rotation
• more stable Dropbox connection
• Sync feature now creates a new synchronized local folder right away. This addresses the issue when previously you had to re-download entire folder from the beginning in case if connection breaks during an initial downloading when setting up sync for a large folder. Now you can simply resume from where it failed.
• Sync feature now attaches an existing local folder with existing files to a new sync record instead of creating a new empty folder. This addresses the issue when previously you had to upload a large collection of local files to a server, just to download them again to set up sync for this collection. Now you can create an empty folder with the same name on a server, and sync it to an existing local folder with existing local files.
• new sync conflict action - "Discard this conflict, files are identical". This action allows to avoid unnecessary transfer if there is a formal sync conflict, but you know for sure that files are identical. Also useful for initial syncing of already existing identical files.

v.3.4.0, 3.4.1

PDF Annotations:

• Annotations Summary is now available - you can browse a file`s annotations list, EMail it or print it via AirPrint
• Typewriter tool with optional callouts is now available - print your notes directly on a page, point your callouts to wherever needed
• Typewriter notes (text boxes) can be enhanced with any fill color and border, including "cloudy"

• Author field can now be set in app settings, to tag your own annotations in a summary list

Other improvements:

v.3.3.0, 3.3.1

Synchronization with remote servers:

• sync with iDisk, Dropbox, SugarSync and any WebDAV or FTP server
• entire folders as well as individual files can be synced separately
• you can set up many different files/folders to be synced with different servers. Later you can either sync them individually, or sync them all at once by pressing just one button.

Various sync parameters can be adjusted:

• file/folder deletion can be prohibited separately for local and remote files
• a choice of options is available for sync conflicts - "Ask what to do", "Leave unresolved", "Local files have priority", "Remote files have priority", "Create duplicates"

Downloading-related improvements:

• SugarSync support
• web browser can now be locked with a password
• entire folders can now be downloaded from remote servers, no need to download files one-by-one now

• PDF Annotations: squares, circles and polygons can now be converted into "cloudy" shapes and back
• PDF Crop Margins feature now offers the "Crop to current view" button: zoom in and pan to whatever you`d like to see on the screen after the cropping, and this button will crop out the rest, making the cropped page`s aspect ratio match the screen`s one

• iPad only: pictures imported from Photo Roll are now saved to the current folder
• other minor improvements and bug fixes

• accented European characters are now stored correctly in PDF notes (old damaged characters won`t be fixed automatically, so you`ll need to manually re-enter those characters in old notes)
• menus for annotating PDFs can now be accessed when VGA adapter is connected
• fixed various multitasking-related bugs (files being unexpectedly closed when getting back from the background, etc.)

iPad + iPhone

v.3.2.0

By popular demand, the switch that allows to choose between new and old PDF displaying engines is available in Settings. Switch back to the original GoodReader PDF engine if for some reason the new one doesn`t work for you.

Introducing Higher quality images switch in Settings for PDF files. If you updated to iOS 4.2, you could have noticed a degraded quality of scanned images in PDF files. This is due to a new way of iOS handling PDF images. "Higher quality images" switch is there to bring the original scans quality back. However, it impacts rendering performance noticeably.

iPad + iPhone

v.3.0.2, 3.0.3

• now encrypted PDF files can also be annotated

v.3.0.0, 3.0.1

Major update introducing major new feature - PDF Annotations, including notes, highlights, markups and drawings (iOS 3.2 or later):

• all annotations that you create or edit in GoodReader - notes, highlights, markups, and drawings - are saved in a PDF file, so you will be able to see them later on a computer or in another copy of GoodReader on your colleague`s device
• all notes, highlights, markups, and drawings created outside GoodReader, and properly stored in a PDF file, can be viewed or edited in GoodReader
• types of annotations that you can create and edit in GoodReader: comments ("sticky notes") with 7 different icons, text highlights, freehand drawings, lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals, text underlines, text deletion marks (strikeouts), text insertion marks, text replacement marks. You can freely adjust color of all of the above.
• other types of annotations that you can view in GoodReader: text boxes with callouts, polygons and polylines, "squiggly" underlines, "cloudy" shapes, rubber stamps, file attachments. All annotations that can be viewed, can also be deleted. In addition, some of them can be edited in a limited fashion (color, placement, scale).
• you can now extract files from PDF file attachments
• two main gestures that you should use to work with annotations - single tap, and tap & hold. Depending on where you tap (on a text, on an existing annotation, or on a free space on a page), different menus will be presented to you.

Other important improvements and new features:

• now you can select text directly on a PDF page. Tap on a text and hold your finger for a while. You can then copy it to the clipboard, or create markups for it (highlights, underlines, strikeouts, etc.)
• certain not very large files were known to consistently crash GoodReader (as well as other PDF reader apps) for no apparent reason. This was the issue with iOS 3.x. We have resolved this issue. It shouldn`t be a problem now, even if you`re still on iOS 3.x.
• now we can hide PDF watermarks (adjustable option in settings)
• certain button images in place of PDF links that were not shown before, are now shown correctly

And some other nice things:

• you can now choose which minimum zoom ratio you prefer for PDF pages - fit to screen or fit to width (an option in settings)
• we have lifted the limitation for a size of files being extracted from PDF Portfolios. Now we`re able to extract files of any size. Just make sure that you have enough of free disk space!
• now when you copy a file to the same location as the original, a copy is created. Very handy if you want to annotate a PDF file, but also want to leave the original file unchanged.
• a workaround for the issue when WiFi was conflicting with Bluetooth (slow WiFi connection, occasional WiFi signal drops when Bluetooth switch is on, etc.) was finally found. Now there should be no conflict between WiFi and Bluetooth when working in GoodReader.
