Turn separate scans into a navigable document packet. Choose saved PDFs, arrange sections and build a separate PDF with a cover, linked contents page and section bookmarks. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the library β Build document packet. Enter a packet title and add saved PDFs. 2. Edit section titles and use Edit to reorder or remove sections. 3. Build the packet and review the total page count and PDF preview. 4. Export the packet PDF or share an assembly receipt with input and output hashes. The source scans remain unchanged. 5. Changing the title or sections clears the frozen result. Build again to refresh it. Use the existing camera, import, OCR and local PDF-library tools to prepare source documents, then assemble a packet for handoff without altering those originals. WHAT TO KNOW Up to 16 documents, 200 source pages, 50 MB per input and 100 MB combined. Encrypted or copying-restricted PDFs are rejected. Existing text and page orientation are preserved, but image-only pages do not gain OCR from packet assembly. Newly generated contents links and section bookmarks target the packet; verify pre-existing source links separately. The packet is exported as a separate file and is not automatically added to the scan library. Built for iPhone and iPad. No account required for this workflow.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ZFiles at Free against Pagecrisp's $0.99. Pagecrisp's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
