Useful organiser of pdf files
Ideal app for organising my pdf library. However, I use a lot of tags, so would be nice if these could be sorted into a hierarchy, for example.

What's New in PDF Archiver
4.6.0
September 12, 2026
This release is a clean-up — it fixes the problems reported most often. Fixed • Documents are no longer filed twice. • Documents still being processed when the app quits are no longer lost. They finish on the next launch. • The app stays responsive while text recognition runs. • On the Mac, ⌘S saves from the document window again. • The suggestion cache kept filling up even when switched off. • In the custom prompt, input beyond 500 characters was silently discarded although the field allowed more. • A folder that was deleted and recreated is watched again. Improved • Tag suggestions fit better: no duplicates, nothing already on the document, at most four, sorted alphabetically. • PDFs with a damaged text layer are detected and recognised again, so the "Searchable" mark is accurate. • Tagging no longer waits when there are no suggestions.
