If you are using PDF Expert for Mac app purchased from Readdle website (https://pdfexpert.com) and you use Dropbox sync folder in PDF Expert 5 and a DropBox client on your Mac, files will sync across devices even easier now:

1. Open a file in a DropBox sync folder on your iPhone/iPad.

2. Open PDF Expert for Mac and tap the Readlle Transfer button: the file will be opened directly in a Dropbox folder on Mac’s hard drive.

3. Edit the file using PDF Expert for Mac and save it; this way changes will get synced across your devices to a Dropbox sync folder in PDF Expert 5 via Dropbox.

Please note, since the file is already syncing using Dropbox, modifications will get synced to the iPhone/ iPad from Mac using Dropbox and it may take longer than Readdle Transfer.
