PrintAdjust turns images into a PDF and lets you make the print margins wider or narrower, on iPhone and iPad. ■ Images to PDF - Pick images from your photo library or Files. Each image becomes one page of the PDF. - Pages follow the order in which you picked the images. - Works with JPEG, HEIC, PNG and more. Photo orientation is corrected automatically. ■ Arrange images freely - Tap a page to drag images and resize them with a pinch or the corner handle. - Add multiple images to the same page. - Repeat an image in a grid, such as 3 columns by 4 rows, with adjustable spacing. - Group images into a canvas to move, resize, duplicate, or repeat them together. - Undo and redo your edits. ■ Adjust the margins - Set the margin on all four sides from 0 to 30 mm, in 1 mm steps. - Images start inside the margins with their aspect ratio preserved. Choose from nine positions, including the center and corners. - The preview updates as you move the slider. ■ Paper - A4, US Letter, B5 (JIS), and A3. The default follows your region. - Landscape images get landscape pages automatically. Switch between portrait and landscape in the page editor. ■ Print and share - Print to any AirPrint printer. - Share the PDF to Files, Mail, AirDrop and more. ■ iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo - On wide screens the preview and settings sit side by side; on narrow screens they stack. - The layout adapts as you open or close iPhone Duo or resize an iPad window. ■ Your data - The images you pick are used only to make the PDF and are not stored in the app. - No account needed. The app does not use the network and does not collect data.
