Readdle has updated its suite of productivity software to support file drag-and-drop between its own apps when multitasking with Split Screen on supported iPads. Drag-and-drop is a desktop computer feature that iPad users have been requesting on iOS since multitasking was introduced two years ago.
The new inner app drag-and-drop feature is available now in Documents, PDF Expert, Scanner Pro and Spark. Since iOS doesn’t yet support drag-and-drop between apps, Readdle developed its own method which it details on its blog:
The new file drag-and-drop feature makes it possible to easily manipulate files with touch to move from one location to another like sending a PDF over email or dragging an image a PDF editor without tapping through menus. The current system-wide sharing feature is limited to in-app extensions even when two apps are running side by side.
