Move, rotate, resize or delete objects available for editing, including text, images and graphics. Switch between the original and editable versions. FILL FORMS AND SIGN Draw a handwritten signature with your finger or Apple Pencil. Fill in PDF text fields or add text to ordinary forms. Insert drawings, images and your own image stamps. Remove unwanted image backgrounds before adding them to a page. TURN SCANS INTO TEXT Scan paper documents with the camera or open existing photos.

Import files from Files, email and messaging apps using the Share menu. ORGANIZE YOUR PAGES Merge several PDFs into one document. Add, delete, reorder and rotate pages.
