Version 9.0 — the biggest release PDF Search has had. AI CHAT Ask your documents a question in plain words and get an answer back, with the exact pages it came from. • Chat about your whole library, or about the one document you are reading • Every answer cites its pages — tap a reference to open that page and check it • AI Chat searches with PDF Search's own ranking, so it reads the pages that actually answer you rather than the first ones it finds • Conversations are saved, so you can pick one up days later • Runs on your device, or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute AI Chat needs Apple Intelligence: an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an iPad with an M-series chip, running iOS 26 or later.
