PDF Scanner

Scan, OCR, sign and edit PDFs on iPhone & iPad. Version 1.0.1

About

PDF Scanner turns your camera into a fast, accurate document scanner and gives you a full PDF editor in the same app. Scans are automatically OCR’d so you can search every word — even printouts and your own notes — and the editor lets you enhance pages, reorder them, mark them up, add a signature, and fill PDF form fields. Documents stay on your device and in your own iCloud Drive. PDF Scanner is free to use, supported by ads; an optional Pro upgrade removes ads and the export watermark and unlocks the full app.

Getting started

Tap Scan Document at the bottom of the Documents screen to open the camera scanner. Capture as many pages as you like, then tap Save. PDF Scanner auto-runs OCR so the resulting PDF is fully searchable in the app, in Files, and in Preview.
Tap Import (top toolbar) to bring in any existing PDF from Files or iCloud Drive.
Open a document and use the bottom bar to switch between View, Enhance, Pages, Markup, Sign, and Forms.
Search inside a document by tapping the magnifying-glass in the top toolbar while in View mode. Matches are highlighted; use the chevrons to step through them.
Search and sort the document list from the Documents screen using the search field at the top and the Sort menu.

FAQ

Does scanning work on iPad?

Yes. PDF Scanner is a universal app and uses Apple’s built-in document camera, which gives you the same edge-detection, perspective-correction and filters on both iPhone and iPad.

How accurate is the OCR?

PDF Scanner uses Apple’s on-device Vision text recognition at its highest accuracy setting, with language correction enabled. Recognition runs entirely on your device — nothing is uploaded.

What’s included free, and what does Pro add?

You can scan, import, OCR, view and search documents for free. The free version caps the number of pages per scan, shows ads, and adds a small watermark to exported files. PDF Scanner Pro removes the ads and the watermark and unlocks unlimited pages per scan plus the full editor (all enhance filters, markup, signing, and form filling). Pro is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase.

How do I manage, cancel, or restore my subscription?

Open the crown / membership button in the app to see your plan, renewal date, and price, and to manage or cancel. Subscriptions are billed by Apple and can also be managed any time in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. New device or reinstalled the app? Tap Restore Purchases on the membership screen.

Can I remove the watermark without going Pro?

Yes — on a free export you can choose to watch a short ad to remove the watermark for that one export, export with the watermark, or upgrade to Pro to remove it for good (along with all ads).

I marked up a page and now I can’t search the text on it anymore.

That’s expected. To make sure your ink stays exactly where you placed it in the saved file, PDF Scanner flattens the marked-up page into an image when you tap Apply. Pages you don’t mark up keep their searchable text layer untouched.

How do I get a scan into iCloud Drive?

PDF Scanner stores documents directly in the app’s own iCloud Drive folder, so they appear in the Files app under iCloud Drive → PDF Scanner and sync across your devices. You can also share a document and choose Save to Files → iCloud Drive.

Will my signature be reused on the next document?

Yes. The first time you tap Sign, you draw your signature once and PDF Scanner saves it locally. From then on you just drag and resize it onto each page. Tap Redraw any time to replace it.

What data does the app collect?

Your documents and the text recognized from them stay on your device or in your own iCloud Drive — we never see them. The free version shows ads from Google AdMob, which collects limited device and ad-interaction data to serve those ads; iOS will ask whether the app may track you, and you can decline and still use everything. See the Privacy Policy for full details.
