PDFmate — A versatile PDF app that solves all your PDF problems, all on your smartphone.
Have you ever experienced any of these? "I want to take a picture of a paper document with my smartphone and turn it into a PDF, but I have to install a separate scanner app." "I just want to add a handwritten signature or line to a PDF, but I have to go back to my computer." "I want to search the contents of a PDF saved as an image, but it doesn't recognize the text." — PDFmate is an all-in-one PDF app for Android, designed to eliminate all those small everyday frustrations.
Just take a picture, and it's instantly converted to a PDF.
Paper documents, receipts, business cards, contracts... simply activate your smartphone camera and take a picture, and it will instantly be converted to a high-quality PDF. Even multi-page documents can be combined into a single PDF by repeatedly taking pictures, so you can digitize entire stacks of contracts or meeting materials. The app automatically corrects for orientation errors during shooting, so you don't have to worry even if you take a picture at an angle.
Edit with annotations and writing, just like on paper.
You can directly add annotations using lines and shapes on the opened PDF. You can edit PDFs just like you would with a red pen, marking important sections, checking off completed items, and adding comments. Added annotations are saved permanently and remain visible the next time you open the document.
Bookmark function allows you to quickly find the desired page in long documents.
Even with documents containing dozens of pages, you can use bookmarks to jump to the desired page with a single tap from the list. No need to start searching from scratch again.
Supports form input.
For PDFs with input fields (form fields) such as application forms and consent forms, the fields are automatically highlighted in the app, allowing you to input directly. The entered content is accurately reflected and saved in the PDF, eliminating the need to print and handwrite or open a computer.
Convert image PDFs to "searchable PDFs" (OCR).
Scanned image PDFs treat text as "images," making them unsearchable. PDFmate allows you to read existing image PDFs, apply OCR (optical character recognition) processing, and save them as "searchable PDFs" with added text information while maintaining the original appearance. Later, when you need to search for something like, "What did that document say?", you can quickly find it using keyword search. The original file is not overwritten; it's saved as a new file with a different name, so you can rest assured.
Print directly from the app
You can print edited and annotated PDFs directly from the app to your printer. There's no need to transfer them to your computer.
Works perfectly offline
Viewing, editing, and OCR processing of PDFs are all completed within your device without an internet connection. Only ad display requires communication, so you won't have trouble checking or editing documents even when you're out and about or in areas with poor reception.
Free, ad-supported app
PDFmate is a free app powered by Google AdMob ads. No personally identifiable information (such as name or email address) or account registration is required. While Google may collect information such as ad identifiers in connection with ad delivery, developers do not have individual access to this information.
