Bring your documents together in a simple PDF workspace. Merge and organize pages, scan paper documents, turn photos into PDFs, annotate, add saved handwritten signatures and preview your finished work before sharing. Keep exported files locally and find them again in My files or the Files app. Edit supported PDF text directly on the page. Import compatible static TrueType fonts, use undo and redo, and save an edited copy while keeping your original document. Most tools process documents on your device. URL to PDF connects to the website you choose. No conversion account is required. Conversion support varies by format. Office and ebook conversions focus on readable text and may omit original layout and images. PDF spreadsheet exports contain text rows rather than reconstructed tables. Text editing supports compatible individual text runs, not automatic paragraph reflow. Handwritten signatures are visual marks rather than certificate verified digital signatures.
