PDF Tools: Merge, Sign, Split

PDF Tools does eleven everyday PDF jobs on your phone, without sending your files anywhere. It never asks for access to all your files. You pick one document, PDF Tools works on that one, and nothing is uploaded. There is no account to create. Every operation runs on the device. WHAT YOU CAN DO Create • Images to PDF — turn photos into one document • Merge — join files in the order you choose • Scan — turn paper documents into a clean PDF with your camera; edges are found automatically Organise • Split — pull out a page range • Edit pages — delete, rotate and reorder in one screen, then save once • Compress — a smaller file, at three quality levels Read • Open — a reader with page flipping, a page slider, pinch to zoom, search inside the document, bookmarks, night reading mode and quick access to recent files • Extract text — reads the text layer, and falls back to on-device OCR when the page is a scan Protect • Sign — draw your signature once, then place it anywhere on the page • Password — add a password, or remove one you already know • Watermark — text or image, at the opacity you choose WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT No watermark on anything you make. Not in Pro, not in the free version either. No account and no cloud. Nothing to sign in to, nothing waiting on a server. No storage permission. Files are opened through Android's own file picker, so the app only ever sees the one file you hand it. No subscription. Pro is a single one-time purchase, and it stays yours. FREE AND PRO Free, with no limits and no watermark: Images to PDF, Merge, Scan, Split, Edit pages, Compress, and the reader. Pro, one payment: Extract text with OCR, Sign, Password and Watermark. If you would rather not pay, you can unlock any one Pro tool for a single use by watching a short video. HONEST ABOUT THE LIMITS • Extract text gives you the text. It does not yet produce a searchable PDF — that needs word-by-word positioning and is planned for a later version. • The OCR model is built into the app rather than downloaded. That is why it works with no connection, and also why the app is larger than a plain viewer. • Scan uses the document scanner built into Google Play services. It needs Google Play services on the phone, and the scanner may be downloaded the first time you use it. The app itself still asks for no camera permission. • "Remove password" means removing a password you already know from your own file. The app cannot open a document you do not have the password for. PRIVACY Your PDFs are processed on your device. They are not collected, uploaded or shared. The app does show ads, and ads need a connection — the PDF work itself does not.
