DocumentUltimate converts PDFs into editable Word documents entirely on your device. No upload, no server, no account. Turn on Airplane Mode and everything still works. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Most PDF converters send your file to a server. Contracts, payslips, medical records, ID scans — they all leave your phone. DocumentUltimate never does that. Conversion, text recognition, compression and signing all run locally on your iPhone or iPad. PDF TO WORD • Text, lists, simple tables and images rebuilt into a real .docx you can edit • Scanned pages handled by on-device text recognition, in 16 languages including Arabic • An honest report: when a region cannot be rebuilt faithfully it is inserted as an image and you are told — nothing disappears silently SCAN • Camera scanning with automatic edge detection • Multi-page documents, straight to PDF or Word PDF TOOLS • Split by page or range, reorder, rotate, delete pages • Merge several documents into one • Compress — and it tells you when compressing would not actually help • Sign with your finger or Apple Pencil • Protect with a password, add a watermark YOUR LIBRARY • Tags, search, sorting, multi-select • Home screen widgets for the actions you use most DOCUMENTULTIMATE PRO Free: three Word conversions per week, plus unlimited scanning, viewing and merging. Pro: unlimited conversions and every tool — a single purchase, for life. No subscription. PRIVACY No data collected. No account. No analytics. No ads. Passwords you set on a PDF are stored nowhere — if you lose one, the document stays unreadable, including to us.
