Apple today introduced an iPad OS version of Preview, an app that allows users to view, mark up, and modify images and PDFs.
Preview for iPad gives users a range of tools, including markup using Apple Pencil and AutoFill. Users can also export images in different formats.
Pencil support should be particularly helpful in signing documents. Previously, Mac users had to rely on stored signatures, which are digitized by holding a paper copy up to the built-in camera.
The addition of the app brings another feature to iPads that Mac users have long enjoyed.
Apart from the Finder, Preview is one of the oldest macOS apps still in use today, tracing its origins to late-1980s NeXTSTEP, the operating system that brought Steve Jobs back to Apple. NeXTSTEP was heavily remodeled to create the first generation of Mac OS X, which in turn formed the basis of the first iPad OS.
