PDF Pencil allows you to scan documents using your camera or import existing images and PDFs to create PDF files. You can then sign these PDFs with a vector signature, add text, notes, and drawings, and manage your documents with features like password protection and page rearrangement.
You can create a full vector signature within the app, which can then be imported and placed anywhere on your PDF document. This signature is not saved as a static image, allowing for zoom and detail. You can also pick your preferred color and thickness for signing.
PDF Pencil offers three auto-renewing subscription options: $1.99 per week, $9.99 per month with a 3-day free trial, and $49.99 per year. Pricing may vary by country, and payments are charged to your iTunes account.
The app supports iOS 13 Dark Mode and synchronizes PDFs via iCloud, allowing access across Apple devices. It also supports various styluses including Apple Pencil, Wacom, and Adonit, as well as your finger.
Common use cases include signing contracts, scanning receipts for expense reports, digitizing business cards, annotating handwritten notes, and converting book pages for later reading and analysis. It's designed to help users go paperless.
