I'd like to know if this will be the standard print option going forward, replacing the hardback version.
This is a new option, not a replacement. The Pathfinder Core Rulebook is now available in hardcover, softcover pocket edition, and pdf, giving you options.

I love these pocket editions. They didn't start doing this until pretty late into PF1. So it's cool they're starting it up already for PF2. There's even a pre-order option for Bestiary 3!
Honestly, I love my current pocket editions for the other games. The form factor is just more convenient at a desk when a PDF is not immediately available. That and I love the softcover.
New to Pathfinder - if I purchase the pocket edition does that come with the PDF version or do I need to purchase that separately?
They are two separate products.
If you subscribe to a Paizo product line, then you get a free PDF when the item is released. Otherwise, the print edition and the PDF are two separate products.

Can we get PDF versions of the pocket editions? The form factor of the pocket edition would fit on my tablet easier without having to zoom around.
Pocket editions are simply scaled down versions of the full size book, without any layout change. So a "PDF" of it would be... the same PDF zoomed out. :X

Thanks, I was hoping they were laid out differently not just smaller. Makes total sense there wouldn't be a different pdf then. I shall grumble about my bad eyes now :)
I've been unable to find out when we can expect new printings. I placed an order exactly a month ago for the softcover when it was still listed as in stock, but that order has been in pending status with no updates, any idea when new copies are coming?

If you placed an order while the product was in stock the delay is likely because the warehouse is working through orders.
As for a new 4th printing, we don't know yet. Will reply when we do.

Thanks! Looking forward to going through the books and running with my group.
Because the Remaster is coming out in November, we have decided not to reprint the Pathfinder Core Rulebook Pocket Edition. If you have an outstanding order for this product, please contact customer service.
