PDFiles is a fast, private PDF scanner for iPhone. Scan documents, receipts, invoices, notes and forms into clean PDFs and save them directly to the Files app. What makes PDFiles different is the workflow. Choose a Files folder once, then every scan lands there automatically. No export maze, no repeated folder picking, no account and no cloud upload required. New in 2.0: faster batch scanning for real documents. Detect several documents in one camera image, choose the pages you want and set the final PDF order by the order you tap them. Scan multiple pages without an artificial 25-page limit. Keep the camera open, collect pages in a scan stack and save one multi-page PDF when you're done. Need to scan book pages, sheet music or two A4 pages side by side? Double Page Mode splits one photo into separate PDF pages. Move or delete the divider before saving. PDFiles also lets you fine-tune every scan. Adjust corners and edges, use the magnifier for precise placement or add a manual scan area when automatic detection misses something. Use PDFiles for: ⢠documents ⢠receipts ⢠invoices ⢠contracts ⢠forms ⢠notes ⢠letters ⢠sheet music ⢠book pages Features: ⢠Scan documents to PDF ⢠Save PDFs directly to the Files app ⢠Choose a default Files folder ⢠Detect multiple documents in one photo ⢠Create several PDF pages from one camera image ⢠Scan longer documents without a 25-page limit ⢠Keep scanning and save one multi-page PDF at the end ⢠Split double-page scans into separate pages ⢠Reorder pages before saving ⢠Merge documents into one PDF ⢠Compress PDFs to reduce file size ⢠Adjust corners and edges manually ⢠Add a manual scan area ⢠Use A4, A3 and US Letter paper formats ⢠Organize folders with colors ⢠Switch target folders quickly Privacy first: Scans are processed locally on your iPhone with iOS and Apple frameworks.

WallPlan

Hanging a gallery wall without a dozen extra holes? WallPlan lays out your frames on your wall and prints full-scale paper templates that show exactly where each nail goes. Enter the wall width and height, the gap you want between frames, and each frame's size. Choose a single row or a grid, and WallPlan centers the arrangement with equal gaps and makes the plan PDF. ⢠AUTOMATIC LAYOUT ā a single row or a roughly square grid, centered on the wall with the same gap between every frame. Up to 40 frames. ⢠NAIL POSITIONS ā the nail sits at the center of each frame; set how far down from the top edge it goes (your hanger or wire), or leave it blank for one third of the frame height. ⢠OVERVIEW PAGE ā a scaled drawing of the whole wall plus a list of every frame with its size, position and nail point, measured from the wall's bottom-left corner. ⢠FULL-SCALE NAIL TEMPLATES ā each frame printed at real size across Letter pages, with the frame edge and a ā nail mark. Tape the pages together, tape the template to the wall and nail through the mark. ⢠INCHES OR CENTIMETERS ā work in either unit. Print the PDF, share it or save it to Files. Honest scope: WallPlan arranges frames automatically ā you can't drag frames into a free-form layout, and it doesn't use photos of your wall or show your artwork. Templates print on Letter-size paper; print at 100% (actual size) so the measurements stay true. Everything is made on your iPhone ā nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Try it free ā 3 wall plan PDFs. A one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited wall plans. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: WallPlan at every 2 days against PDFiles's every 2 weeks. WallPlan also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
