Markory

Markory is a PDF editor for everyday documents — the kind you need to sign, fix a typo in, black out a line on, and send back before lunch. Open a PDF and start working on it. There is no account to create first, and nothing has to be uploaded for the editor to work — your document is opened and edited on your iPhone. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Annotate — highlight, underline, strike through, draw freehand, add sticky notes • Sign — draw or type a signature and place it anywhere on the page • Edit text — tap a line to replace, restyle or delete it, keeping the font and size • Fill in forms — type into fields and flatten them when you are done • Rearrange pages — reorder, rotate, duplicate and delete • Merge and split — combine several PDFs in any order, or break one long file into separate documents • Watermarks and stamps — across the whole document or just the pages you choose • Page numbers, headers and footers • Share the finished file through the iOS share sheet WORKS OFFLINE The document tools do not need a connection. On a plane, on the underground, or with the network switched off, the editor behaves exactly the same as it does at your desk. PRIVACY BY DEFAULT Your file is not sent anywhere in order to be edited. No forced upload, and no account required for local editing. Made by PLM CAD UTILITIES AS, Norway. Questions: support@plmcadutilities.com
