How about the well-know DirectOpen™ feature?
This has been a signature feature of PDF Max since 2012, and it will be still being included in PDF Max 6.
Learn More
PDF Max is the world’s first mobile PDF app which allowed users to work directly with documents stored on cloud services (e.g Dropbox, Box, etc) without the need of a manual sync action.
In July 2017, Dropbox has deprecated their API version 1 – where PDF Max 5 and older used for the DirectOpen feature. As we are not able to maintain PDF Max since 2016 due to the lack of resources, PDF Max was not able to work with Dropbox since July 2017. Google Drive also changed their API policy since April 2017 and make it impossible for PDF Max users to sync with Google Drive.
The good news is, that will be a thing in the past since PDF Max 6 now offers a seamless integration with any cloud storage providers available for the AppStore.
What about support?
We will offer support mostly on our self-help center, and on our Facebook channel for other cases.
