An iPad running the iPadOS 15 beta has greatly expanded PDF editing tools, including the ability to insert pages into a PDF using the Files app. The iPadOS 15 announcement focused on big improvements to multitasking controls, a new look for Safari with tab groups, and Quick Notes but an unannounced change was discovered in the public beta release by 9to5 Mac. Related: iPad Multitasking & Productivity Dramatically Improved With iPadOS 15 Originally designed for sharing documents that retained enough information for professional printing, it has evolved over the years into an excellent way to share documents via the internet to be viewed on a screen. PDF is a file format that was invented by Adobe in 1993 and allows compact vector drawings and text to be mixed with bitmap images. At that time, an iPad used the same operating system as an iPhone, but with iPadOS 13, it had a dedicated version, but still shared the same Markup app that allows adding information to a PDF, screenshot, or photo. With iOS 12, Apple introduced Markup, a tool to annotate documents and images and save them in portable document format (PDF), for easy sharing and printing. This brings the Files app quite close to the functionality of many third-party apps that require a subscription or purchase, however, full-page layout tools are still missing.
Being able to add and delete pages, even rearrange the order, goes beyond the capabilities of the built-in annotation features of Markup. When Apple announced iPadOS 15, there was no mention of any changes to its PDF editing abilities of an iPad but some unexpected new page manipulation tools have been found in the public beta release.
