Readable PDF Text Reader vs PDF Pass

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.

PDF Pass removes a password you already know from a PDF — entirely on your phone. Open a locked PDF from Files, Downloads, email, or another app. Enter the password, preview the pages, then save or share an unlocked copy. Your file and password never leave the device. There are no accounts and nothing to sign up for. How it works • Pick or share a PDF into PDF Pass • Enter the password if the file is locked • Preview pages on device • Tap Save or Share to keep or send the unlocked PDF Privacy-first Unlocking happens offline on your device. We don’t upload your PDFs or passwords. PDF Pass is not a cracking or password-recovery tool — it only works when you already know the password, and it won’t guess or bypass security on files you’re not allowed to change. Ads When you tap Save or Share, a full-screen ad may appear first. Ads help keep the app free. After the ad closes, the save or share flow continues. Notes Unlock can fail for some encryption types or damaged files. Use PDF Pass only with documents you’re authorized to unlock.
