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.
