Features

A complete PDF toolkit, built for iOS

From quick reading to scanning, signing, and securing — everything in one native app.

📖

Read & Search

A fast, smooth viewer with page thumbnails and full-text search across your document.

✍️

Annotate & Sign

Ink, highlight, add text, photos, and your real signature — placed exactly where you want.

🖨️

Scan with OCR

Scan paper documents and add a searchable, selectable text layer powered by on-device Vision.

🧰

Every Tool You Need

Merge, split, compress, fill forms, and create new PDFs from scratch — no extra apps.

🔒

Lock with Face ID

Protect sensitive files with a per-document password and Face ID. Keys stay in the Keychain.

🔁

Convert & Redact

Turn Office files into PDF, and truly redact content — the text underneath is removed, not just hidden.

How it works

From paper to signed PDF in 3 steps

1

Open or scan

Import from Files, Mail, or Safari — or scan a paper document right inside the app.

2

Edit & sign

Annotate, sign, reorganize pages, and run any tool. Undo and redo are always one tap away.

3

Secure & share

Lock the file with Face ID, then export or share it anywhere on your device.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is PDF Reader free?

Yes. You can read and search any PDF for free, plus one free use per tool each day. Pro unlocks every tool with no limits, full signing, unlimited scanning, and Face ID locks.

Are my documents private?

Completely. Everything is processed on your device and your files stay in the app's storage. We don't require an account and we never upload your documents to a server.

Which devices are supported?

PDF Reader is a native iOS app for iPhone and iPad running iOS 18 or later. Scanning uses the device camera; locking uses Face ID or Touch ID.

How does the free trial work?

Pro Yearly includes a 7-day free trial. It auto-renews at $29.99/year unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. You can manage or cancel anytime in your App Store subscription settings.

Can I protect sensitive files?

Yes. You can lock any document with a password and unlock it with Face ID. Locking also raises the file's on-disk protection — the password is never stored in plain text.
