Foredge: PDF Reader & OCR

AxionX Digital

About this app

Foredge is a PDF reader and PDF viewer for Android that works completely offline.
Open a PDF, read it, search it, mark it up and sign it — with no ads, no account
and no subscription.

📖 PDF READER
Open large PDF files fast, even on older phones
Remembers your page, zoom and reading mode for every document
Continuous scroll or page-by-page viewing
Dark mode, sepia and night reading
Read aloud with on-device text-to-speech
Search text inside any PDF document

🔍 SEARCH YOUR SCANNED PDFS
Most PDF readers cannot find a word inside a scanned document, because a scan is
just an image. Foredge runs OCR text recognition on your device and turns those
pages into searchable, selectable text.
Works on scanned PDFs already saved on your phone — nothing to rescan
Handles photographed pages, receipts, contracts and handouts
Copy text out of a scan
Runs entirely on your device with no upload and no account

✍️ ANNOTATE AND MARK UP PDF
Highlight text in five colours
Draw and write freehand with a pen tool
Underline, strike through and add text notes
Every mark is written into the PDF itself, so it opens correctly in any other reader
Review all your highlights and notes in one place

🖊️ FILL AND SIGN A PDF
Draw your signature once and reuse it anywhere
Place, resize and position it on any page
Fill in PDF forms and flatten only when you choose

🧰 PDF TOOLS
Combine PDF — merge files in the order you choose
Split PDF — extract a page range or split into separate files
Compress PDF — preview the file size before you save
Organize pages — reorder, rotate and delete
Rotate PDF — fix sideways pages
Photos to PDF — turn images and scans into one document
Translate a PDF — download a language pack once, then translate on device

🔒 PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Foredge has no analytics and no advertising SDKs. Reading, search, annotation and
text recognition all run on your phone. The two features that can use the internet —
translation language packs and cloud summaries — are switched off by default, clearly
labelled, and ask before anything is sent. You do not have to take our word for it:
check the Data safety section on this page and the app's permission list.

📁 FILE ACCESS
Foredge asks for access to your documents so it can list and open the PDFs already on
your device. That access is used only to show and open your files. Nothing is uploaded
in the background.

WHAT MAKES FOREDGE DIFFERENT
No surprise subscription renewals. No full-screen ads between pages. No account needed
to open a file. Your documents stay where you put them.

Built for students reading lecture notes and textbooks, office workers reviewing
contracts and reports, and anyone who keeps scanned paperwork on their phone and needs
to find something in it.
