About
42 PDF Editor is a PDF reader and editor for iPhone and iPad. Open a PDF from the Files app, iCloud Drive or any other provider, mark it up, fill it in, sign it and rearrange its pages, then save it back to the same file or to a new copy. Everything happens on your device, with Apple's own PDFKit. There is no account and nothing is uploaded.
Most of what people need to do to a PDF is small: sign a form, fill in a few fields, fix a typo, take out a page, add the scan of a receipt. 42 PDF Editor puts those jobs on the phone you already have with you.
READ
Continuous, page by page or sideways, with pinch to zoom, search with a result count, the table of contents and a page grid.
MARK UP
Highlight, underline and strike through text. Draw with a pen or highlighter, by finger or Apple Pencil, and add shapes, arrows and text boxes. Select markup to move, recolour or delete it, and undo or redo every change.
FILL AND SIGN
Type into a PDF's form fields. Draw a signature once and keep it on your device, then place, move and resize it on any page. It stays sharp, because it is written as vector ink. Add stamps, logos and photos the same way.
EDIT TEXT
Tap a line and retype it. The font, size and colours are matched to the original and can be adjusted, and you can change or undo it later.
PAGES
Drag to reorder, rotate, duplicate or delete. Insert blank pages, pages from another PDF or Word file, scans or photos, and share a single page as its own PDF.
SCAN AND CREATE
Scan paper with the camera, make a PDF from photos, start a blank PDF, or merge several PDFs into one.
PDF AND WORD
Turn a Word (.docx) file into a PDF, keeping its styles, lists, tables, links, pictures and page size. Turn a PDF into a Word document with editable text, with scanned pages read by on-device text recognition, or with a picture of each page when the look matters most.
WATERMARKS AND PASSWORDS
Add a text or image watermark with your choice of opacity, angle and position, on every page or a range. Open password-protected PDFs, and add, change or remove a password.
SAVE AND SHARE
Save in place, Save a Copy, Save a Flattened Copy with the markup drawn into the pages, Share and Print. Open in 42 PDF Editor from the Files app and the share sheet.
PRIVATE
No account, no ads, no analytics and no servers. Your documents and signatures never leave your device unless you share them.
Good to know: Edit Text and Whiteout cover the original content and place new content on top. The original text is still inside the file, so they are not a way to redact a document.
