PDF Scanner โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” auto-crop works there too. EDIT TEXT โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” 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 โ€” Mail, Messages, cloud storage, or any app on your phone. WHY PDF SCANNER โ€ข No clunky menus โ€” everything happens right on the page โ€ข Clean, distraction-free design โ€ข Your documents stay on your device โ€ข 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.

PDF Editor lets you change the words in any PDF, fill in printed forms, sign, annotate and share, right on your iPhone or iPad. No account, no upload, no ads. Your documents never leave your device. EDIT PDF TEXT Tap any line of text to change it. PDF Editor reads the original font, size and colour and matches them, so your edit looks like it was always there. Add new text boxes anywhere, move and resize them, and choose font, size, colour, bold, italic and alignment. FILL FORMS IN SECONDS Smart Fill finds the blanks, boxes and checkboxes on printed forms, even when the PDF has no real form fields. Tap a field, type, and jump to the next one. Tick checkboxes with a single tap. SIGN ANY DOCUMENT Draw your signature with your finger or Apple Pencil, type it, or import an image. Signatures are saved on your device for reuse, and placed with a transparent background so they sit naturally on the page. ANNOTATE AND MARK UP Highlight, underline and strike through text. Draw freehand with adjustable colour and width. Add sticky notes, rectangles, ellipses, lines and arrows. WHITEOUT AND CLEAN UP Cover anything with a whiteout rectangle in white or any colour you pick. When you export, the covered content is flattened into the page. IMAGES AND LINKS Insert photos from your library or files, then move, resize and rotate them. Add clickable web links or jump-to-page links to any area of a document. EDITS STAY LIVE Every change stays editable until you tap Apply changes. Undo and redo anything. If the app closes unexpectedly, your session is restored exactly where you left it. EXPORT AND SHARE Apply changes creates a new PDF that keeps vector text, page sizes, rotation and links intact.
