## What is Docsmith?

Edit the text inside a PDF — right on your iPhone, with nothing sent to a server.

Docsmith is a complete PDF workbench that runs 100% on your device. No account. No cloud. No ads. Your files never leave your iPhone. Reading and marking up are always free; editing, scanning and the core tools are free every day, and Pro removes all limits.

EDIT PDF TEXT — FOR REAL
• Tap a line, or a whole paragraph, and simply retype it
• Docsmith matches the original font, size and colour
• The text stays real and searchable — it is not a sticker placed on top
• Works in 40 languages, including right-to-left Arabic and Hebrew

SCAN & MAKE SEARCHABLE
• Scan paper with the camera into a clean, sharp PDF
• On-device OCR turns any scan into searchable, selectable text
• Nothing is uploaded — the recognition happens entirely on your iPhone

SIGN & FILL
• Draw, type or photograph your signature
• Your signature is stored only in your Keychain, never on a server
• Fill in forms and flatten them when you are done

20+ TOOLS IN ONE PLACE
• Merge several PDFs, or split one apart
• Compress to shrink file size
• Convert PDF to images, or pull out the text and images
• Add page numbers or Bates numbering
• Redact sensitive areas, then flatten to bake them in
• Add a watermark
• Set or remove a password
• Compare two PDFs side by side
• Run the same tool across many files at once

ANNOTATE & REVIEW
• Highlight, underline and strike through
• Draw with ink, add free text, sticky notes, shapes, images and stamps

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• 100% on-device — no servers, no account, no tracking, no ads
• Docsmith collects nothing; your documents stay yours
• Lock the app behind Face ID
• Seal a finished PDF, then let anyone verify it has not been changed

FREE & PRO
Free every day:
• Read and annotate as much as you like
• Edit PDF text, sign documents and scan pages within a generous daily allowance
• One free run of each core tool (merge, split, compress, convert and more) per day

Docsmith Pro unlocks:
• Unlimited text editing — rewrite any line or paragraph, as often as you want
• Unlimited runs of every tool, with all daily limits removed
• OCR to make scans searchable
• Batch the same tool across many files
• Redaction, passwords, watermarks, Bates numbering and flattened copies
• The full annotation kit: shapes and stamps
• Unlimited signing and scanning

WORKS WITH THE SYSTEM
• Shortcuts and Siri: merge or compress from an automation
• Home-screen widgets for one-tap scan and import
• Open PDFs straight from Files, Mail or any share sheet

No account. No cloud. No ads. Just a fast, private PDF workbench.
