PDF Scanner — Scan, Sign, and Edit Documents in Seconds Turn your iPhone into a powerful document scanner. Capture paper documents with your camera, clean them up automatically, edit the recognized text right on the page, add your signature, and turn everything into a polished PDF — all without leaving the app. SMART SCANNING Point your camera at any document and PDF Scanner automatically detects the edges, corrects perspective, and crops it perfectly. Import photos from your gallery just as easily — auto-crop works there too. EDIT TEXT — NOT JUST SCAN IT This isn't just OCR that copies text out. Tap any line of recognized text directly on the scanned page to retype it, change the font, resize it, or move it — the edit is patched right into the document, in place. REAL SIGNATURES Draw your signature with your finger, save it for reuse, and place it anywhere on the page. Resize, rotate, and adjust it precisely — or swap it out any time. MERGE, SPLIT, AND ORGANIZE Combine multiple scans into a single PDF, split a document into separate files, reorder pages, and keep everything organized with sorting and a clean list or grid view. SHARE INSTANTLY Export and share your finished PDF anywhere — Mail, Messages, cloud storage, or any app on your phone. WHY PDF SCANNER • No clunky menus — everything happens right on the page • Clean, distraction-free design • Your documents stay on your device • Fast enough to scan a whole stack of papers in minutes Whether it's a contract to sign, a receipt to save, or a stack of paperwork to digitize, PDF Scanner gets it done without the hassle of a physical scanner.
