Readable PDF Text Reader is specifically designed to make PDFs and images easier to read on your iPhone. Send a PDF or image from Mail, Files, or another app, and Readable PDF extracts the text into a clean, comfortable reading view. It works with embedded PDF text and uses on-device OCR for scanned pages and images. Features: - Import PDFs and images from the share sheet - Import files directly from the app - Extract PDF text with on-device processing - OCR scanned pages and images - Adjust font size, line spacing, and reading theme - Search inside imported documents - Keep a local library of readable documents - Edit extracted text when OCR needs a correction - Reprocess documents with cleanup options Readable PDF is designed for people who receive PDFs that are awkward to read on a phone: attachments, scans, reports, forms, handouts, and other text-heavy documents. Note that images are not processed as a part of making the PDF readable. Documents are processed locally on your device. No account is required and no data is sent off device.
