PDF tools
Everything a PDF needs after it is scanned or received: combine, split, shrink, protect, sign and convert, with the original quality kept.
iEdit treats a PDF with care. Pages are copied rather than re-rendered, so text stays selectable, links keep working and vector drawings stay sharp whether you merge two files or take a single page out of a 500-page report. Each result is saved as a new file in My files, and the original is never changed.
Compression only touches the images inside a PDF, watermarks are added as real vector content, signatures are drawn with Apple Pencil or a finger and saved as vector ink, and locking uses AES-256 encryption that opens in any modern reader. The Word, Excel, PowerPoint and text conversions are written on your device by iEdit's own converter, with their limits stated plainly on each page. Nothing is uploaded to be processed.

Questions about PDF in iEdit
Are the PDF tools in iEdit free?
Yes. Every PDF tool is free to use, and results are saved to My files inside iEdit at no cost. Sharing a result with another app or saving it to Files is part of iEdit Premium, an optional monthly subscription with a 3-day free trial.
Do my PDFs get uploaded to a server?
No. iEdit processes PDFs entirely on your iPhone, iPad or Android device, including the conversions to Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Your files never go to a server, no account is needed and there are no analytics, and the PDF tools work without an internet connection.
Will text stay searchable after I edit a PDF?
Yes. Merging, splitting, reordering, compressing, watermarking, signing and locking keep the text layer of the original pages, so the result can still be searched, selected and copied.
Can iEdit turn a PDF into an editable Word file?
Yes. PDF to Word writes a DOCX on your device, keeping text size, bold, alignment and page setup. Pages without a text layer are read with on-device OCR first. Pictures inside the PDF are not carried over, and the layout is approximate rather than identical.
