Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

Completely redesigned scanner dialog (macOS 14 and later): Pick source, color mode, resolution, and duplex right in the window, run a preview, and drag to select the scan area. A compact view gets you scanning fast; a detailed view shows the preview and all settings side by side. Older systems keep the classic macOS scan interface. Choose where each scan goes with a single checkbox: Keep it off for a new document every time, or turn it on to append to the document you're working on. Set the scan area exactly: Drag in the preview, enter precise measurements in millimeters or inches, or pick a preset like DIN A4 or US Letter – remembered per scanner.

Automate PDFify with App Shortcuts: Compress a PDF, make it searchable with OCR, convert it to PDF/A, get its text, or export text as JSON – straight from Spotlight, the Shortcuts app, or Siri, without opening the app.

See PDF/A status at a glance: The status bar shows right away whether the open document is PDF/A (for example "PDF/A-1b").

Fit imported images into more page sizes: Now also A3, A5, US Legal, and Tabloid, in addition to A4 and US Letter.
