## What is PDF Scanfolio?

Turn paper into PDFs you can actually find again.

Point, capture, done. Text recognition (OCR) reads the words inside every document, so "where did I put that?" stops being a question. Scanning, recognition and search all happen on this device.

WHAT PEOPLE SCAN
• Receipts, invoices and bills
• Contracts, warranties and manuals
• Business cards
• School handouts, letters and forms
• Handwritten notes, books and reference material

FEATURES

■ Capture straight to PDF
Edges are detected automatically. Capture several pages in one go and save them as a single PDF, or split them into separate documents. Photos you already have, files on your device, and PDFs shared from other apps all go through the same pipeline.

■ Search inside your documents
Full-text search across everything you have saved, showing the matching page and the matching line so you land exactly where you need to be. Plain, whole-word and regular-expression modes, plus filters for type, folder, period and amount.

■ Vertical Japanese, read correctly
Vertically written pages are read column by column, right to left. Recognized text can be corrected page by page, and corrections improve search immediately.

■ Filed by type, automatically
Receipts, invoices, contracts and business cards are recognized and a destination folder is suggested. Folders can be nested, renamed, coloured and given their own icons.

■ Sign and annotate
Add a signature to a contract or a handwritten note to any page, without leaving the app.

■ Read the details off a receipt
Counterparty, date and total, plus the tax amount, the tax rate and the qualified invoice registration number where one is printed. Every field is editable, and all of them are searchable.

■ Never miss a due date
Set a reminder on a document and it appears in the Due Dates list, overdue items first, with a count on the Home screen.

■ Lock what matters
Face ID or passcode can lock the whole app, a single folder, or one document. Locked documents are blurred in every list and their contents stay out of search results.

■ Backup
Export your entire library as a password-encrypted archive and restore it on another device.

■ Widget and Siri
Start a scan from the Home Screen widget or by asking Siri. iPad is fully supported.

PRIVACY
Scanning, text recognition, classification and search all happen on this device. Your documents are never uploaded, and no account or sign-in is required. The free tier's ad SDK connects to deliver ads and never has access to your documents. Pro removes ads, and with them all network use.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.4.0 — 2026-09-05

Signing, search filters and duplicate detection are here.
And for receipts, bookkeeping now finishes inside the app.

■ Counterparty, tax and invoice number, read automatically
Receipts and invoices are scanned for the counterparty, the tax amount and rate, and the qualified invoice registration number. Every field is editable on the new Transaction Details screen, and all of them are searchable alongside the date and total.

■ A real expense CSV
The export now carries counterparty, tax, tax rate and registration number, and closes with a total row per currency.

■ Due dates in one place
Documents with a reminder are collected in a Due Dates list — overdue first, in red — with a count on the Home screen.

■ Better search
Filter by type, folder, period or amount, and pick up where you left off with recent searches. Filtering by a folder includes everything nested inside it.

■ Signing and annotation — free
Sign a contract or mark up a page without leaving the app.

■ Also new
• The folder suggestion after a scan is now free for everyone
• Recognized text can be corrected page by page, which improves search straight away
• Scanning the same document twice now warns you first
• Pinch to zoom on any page, and see how much storage your library uses

■ Fixes
• Searching by a document's title returned nothing
• Searchable PDF export (Pro) produced an unusable text layer for Japanese
• A locked folder did not protect documents in its subfolders
• Amounts written in full-width digits were dropped
• Long documents were slow to open; large PDF imports are more reliable
• The widget and Siri shortcut were not translated
• Backup restore and folder renaming issues

### 1.3.0 — 2026-08-21

■ New
• Grep your documents: Full-text search now supports regular expressions. Choose Contains, Whole Word, or Regular Expression, and see every match with its page and line number — tap a line to jump straight to that page.
• Vertical Japanese text: Vertically written documents are detected automatically and read in the correct order (top-to-bottom, right-to-left), which also makes them far more searchable.
• App Lock: Lock the whole app behind Face ID or your passcode. Your documents stay hidden even in the app switcher preview.
• Encrypted backup: Export your entire library to one password-protected file, and restore it later — useful when you change or lose a device.
• Home screen widget: Start a scan with a single tap.
• Siri & Shortcuts: Just say "Scan a document with PDF Scanfolio."

■ Improvements
• Various minor bug fixes.

Your documents are processed entirely on your device and are never sent anywhere — backup encryption happens on-device too.

### 1.2.0 — 2026-08-09

■ New
• Page editing: Add pages to a saved document from the camera, Photos, or Files. You can also reorder, rotate, and delete pages — and edited documents stay fully searchable.
• Expense CSV export (Pro): Export a folder's documents as a CSV with date, name, type, and amount. Opens cleanly in Excel.
• Sort & filter: Order documents by newest, oldest, name, or highest amount, and filter them by document type.

■ Improvements
• Exported PDFs, text, and CSVs are now protected at rest
• Temporary files are cleaned up automatically to save storage
• Various minor bug fixes

Your documents are processed entirely on your device and are never sent anywhere.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-11

■ New
• Import from Photos & Files: In addition to the camera, you can now bring in documents from existing photos and PDF/image files on your device. Imported documents go through the same OCR, auto-naming, classification, and organizing as camera scans.

■ Improvements
• Smoother list scrolling and lower memory use
• More accurate document-type detection and amount reading
• Better Face ID retry and reminder-permission handling
• Various minor bug fixes

As always, your documents are processed entirely on your device and are never sent anywhere.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-08

No release notes.
