## What is PDF Scanner & Editor?

Privio is the offline PDF toolkit for lawyers, accountants, real estate professionals, and anyone who handles documents that should not be uploaded to a stranger's server.

Every operation — scan, OCR, redact, sign, summarise with Apple Intelligence, capture receipts — runs locally on your iPhone. Your PDFs never leave this device. The App Privacy Report shows zero outbound traffic for your files.

THE 23 TOOLS

Document intake

• Scan to PDF — Apple VisionKit edge detection, multi-page capture
• OCR PDF — Apple Vision recognizes text on scanned PDFs and adds a searchable text layer
• Image to PDF — photos, receipts, screenshots into one PDF
• Merge PDFs — combine document-level or hand-pick pages
• Compress PDF — shrink for email without visible quality loss
• Split PDF — extract page ranges, every Nth page, or N equal parts

Editing

• Rotate pages — fix sideways scans
• Delete pages — drop what you don't need
• Sign PDF — finger or stylus signature with SHA-256 audit footer
• Fill form — IRS, USCIS, court motion forms with flatten-on-save
• Page numbers — four formats, five positions, custom start
• Bates numbering — legal discovery standard
• Password protect — AES-256 encrypt or unlock

Review

• Watermark — CONFIDENTIAL, DRAFT, custom text in three layouts
• Extract text — pull clean text out of any born-digital PDF
• Compare PDFs — redline two versions, added and removed text
• Bookmarks / TOC — jump to any chapter in long briefs and depositions
• Find sensitive data — auto-detect SSN, EIN, credit cards (Luhn validated), IBANs, emails, phone numbers
• Redact — search words, render-and-flatten removes them from the data stream

AI + receipts + batch

• Summarize PDF — Apple Intelligence on-device summary (iOS 26+)
• Live Text view — Apple Live Text + Visual Look Up + Markup
• Batch operations — compress, watermark, or rotate a stack of PDFs in one pass
• Receipt scanner — auto-extract date / vendor / total / tax → QuickBooks-friendly CSV

iOS INTEGRATION

Home Screen widget (Small + Medium) plus three Lock Screen accessory families. iOS 18 Control Center / Lock Screen scan control. Action Button binding for iPhone 15 Pro and later. Siri, Shortcuts, Files Provider, Share Sheet, Action Extension. iPad Stage Manager + Split View.

PRIVACY POSITIONING

Other PDF apps upload your file to "process" it in the cloud — meaning their staff, their server logs, and their attackers could all see your documents. Privio was built so the lawyer-client privilege, the accountant-client confidentiality, and your personal data stay where they belong: on your phone.

Privio is built with Apple's own frameworks — VisionKit for scanning, Apple Vision for OCR, Apple Intelligence for summarisation, PDFKit for assembly. Your documents are processed on your device and are never uploaded. There is no account. Free use is supported by ads served by Google AdMob, which never receive your documents; Pro removes ads entirely.

PRICING

Try the tools free: open any tool and run it on your own document. Pro is what releases the result — save, share, or export it. (Batch and the receipt scanner are Pro from the start.)

• Yearly — the best value
• Lifetime — pay once; no subscription, no renewal
• Monthly — month to month

You'll see your local price in the app. The free tier shows one short ad per released result; Pro removes ads and unlocks every tool.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.2 — 2026-08-16

• Fixed a rare hang where a loading spinner could stay on screen after an ad, forcing you to restart the app.
• The app now falls back to English when your language isn't available, instead of an unrelated one.
• You now see a short explanation before the tracking permission prompt.

### 1.1.1 — 2026-08-01

Privio is now free to use, supported by ads.

Open any tool, work on your own document, and watch one short ad to save, share or export the result. Pro removes ads entirely and unlocks every tool, with no ad in the way.

What hasn't changed: your documents are processed on your device and are never uploaded. The ad SDK never receives them, and there is still no account.

The 3-day free trial has been retired — the free, ad-supported tier replaces it.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-07-20

Nearly every tool is now free to try: open a tool and run it on your own document for free. You only go Pro to keep the result — save, share, or export it. (Batch and the receipt scanner stay Pro from the start.)

Yearly and Monthly now cost less than before.

What hasn't changed: Privio still runs 100% on your device. No ads, no account, no cloud, no tracking. Your documents never leave your phone.

### 1.0.18 — 2026-07-08

Privio Pro is now one simple plan: every tool unlocked.

Pick what fits — a one-time Lifetime purchase (pay once, keep it forever), or a yearly or monthly plan.

What hasn't changed: Privio still runs 100% on your device. No ads, no account, no cloud, no tracking. Your documents never leave your phone.

### 1.0.17 — 2026-07-08

Privio Pro is now one simple plan: every tool unlocked.

Pick what fits — a one-time Lifetime purchase (pay once, keep it forever), or a yearly or monthly plan.

What hasn't changed: Privio still runs 100% on your device. No ads, no account, no cloud, no tracking. Your documents never leave your phone.
