## What is PDF Reader?

Read, scan, sign and mark up PDFs on iPhone and iPad — and nothing ever leaves your device.

No account. No ads. No tracking. No uploads. Every file you open, scan or convert is processed right here, on your device — so it still works on a plane, on the subway, or with any document you would rather not hand to a server.

Built entirely with Apple's own frameworks, so it launches fast, feels native and never asks you to sign in.

READ COMFORTABLY
• Fast, smooth viewer for big files — single page or two-page spreads
• Night mode and sepia for late reading, plus per-document preferences
• Bookmarks, page thumbnails and a real outline / table of contents
• Double-tap smart zoom; full keyboard shortcuts on iPad
• Search inside a document (with whole-word matching) or across your entire library
• Pull up documents straight from Spotlight on the Home Screen

SCAN ANYTHING
• Camera scanning with automatic edge detection and perspective correction
• Multi-page scans in one pass
• OCR adds a real, invisible text layer — your scans become selectable, copyable and searchable, not just pictures

MARK UP AND SIGN
• Highlight, underline and strike through real PDF text — saved as true PDF annotations, so they stay searchable and you can edit or remove them later
• Draw freehand with Apple Pencil, add text notes, photos and stamps
• Draw your signature once, save it, reuse it on any document
• Fill in existing PDF forms and send them back the same day
• Redaction that genuinely removes the content underneath — not a black rectangle drawn on top (Pro)

A FULL TOOLBOX
• Merge, split, rotate, reorder and delete pages
• Compress big files down to email size (Pro)
• Turn Word, Excel and PowerPoint files into PDFs (Pro)
• Crop margins, add a watermark, add page numbers or Bates numbering
• Password-protect a file, export pages as images, pull out the text, create a PDF from scratch
• Batch mode: run the same tool across several documents at once

LISTEN AND TRANSLATE
• Read Aloud speaks your document with sentence-by-sentence highlighting and keeps playing with the screen off
• Translate a whole document on-device with Apple's Translation framework — no server, no copy-paste

ASK YOUR PDF (AI)
• Chat with a document and get answers that cite the page they came from
• One-tap summaries of long reports and contracts
• Runs on Apple Foundation Models, entirely on-device
• AI features require iOS 26 and an Apple Intelligence-capable device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Lock individual documents with Face ID or Touch ID, backed by a password verifier stored in the iOS Keychain
• Raised file protection on disk, plus a privacy shield that blurs the app-switcher preview
• No sign-up, no analytics, no third-party SDKs — your files simply never go anywhere

ALSO INCLUDED
• Siri Shortcuts and App Intents for one-phrase actions
• Handoff between iPhone and iPad
• Interface available in 12 languages
