## What is PDFing?

PDFing brings reading, editing and organizing PDFs to iPhone and iPad. Work on your documents locally, without an account, advertising or tracking. The interface follows your device language: English or German.

READ AND FIND
• Open PDFs from Files and other apps
• Page thumbnails, text search, chapters and bookmarks
• Single-page, continuous and two-page views, zoom and print

TEXT AND ANNOTATIONS
• Replace or delete supported existing text objects directly
• Add text boxes with font, size, color, bold and italic styles
• Add comments, highlight selected text and fill supported PDF forms

DRAW AND EDIT SHAPES
• Lines, rectangles, ellipses, polygons and freehand drawing
• Select, move and resize shapes; change border and fill properties
• Use touch, Apple Pencil or a mouse

ORGANIZE PAGES
• Rotate, duplicate, move, delete and extract pages
• Insert selected pages from another PDF before or after the current page
• Undo and redo changes

ON-DEVICE OCR
• Recognize German and English text in scanned pages
• Add a searchable text layer while preserving the visible scan image

SAVE AND SHARE
• Work on a local working copy to preserve imported originals
• Save, export a copy, share and print PDFs
• Access cloud files through the providers you choose in Files

GET STARTED
Open the sample document to try text editing, drawing and page tools. On iPhone, selecting a page thumbnail returns to the document. The layout adapts to portrait and landscape.

PLEASE NOTE
Direct text editing depends on the PDF structure and its embedded fonts. Nested Form XObjects and some subset fonts have limitations. Characters that cannot be represented reliably are rejected. OCR makes scans searchable; it does not replace the visible text in a scan image. Editing may invalidate digital signatures. XFA, JavaScript and digital-signature editing are not supported.
