  • Needing to merge multiple PDFs into one, or split out just the pages you need
  • A PDF file too large to send
  • Wanting to make a scanned PDF's text searchable and copyable (OCR)
  • Needing to add a handwritten signature or note to a contract or form
  • A PDF with pages facing the wrong way that need straightening out

How it works

Open the app, pick the PDF (or a saved/captured photo), and tap the feature you want (merge, split, OCR, and so on). Scanning is as simple as pointing the camera at a document — cropping and deskewing happen automatically. Step-by-step guides for each feature are linked below.

PDF Toolkit is an Android-only app. It is not available for iPhone (iOS).

FAQ

Q. Is PDF Toolkit free to use?

A. Yes. You can download it for free from Google Play and use every feature. PDFs exported on the free plan carry a small watermark; watching one short video ad lets you share that PDF without it, and the one-time PRO purchase removes both the ads and the watermark.

Q. Can I scan a paper document into a PDF on my phone?

A. Yes. Photograph the document and it's auto-corrected and saved as a PDF.

Q. Can I merge multiple PDFs into one?

A. Yes, and you can also split a PDF by page range.

Q. Can I make a scanned PDF's text searchable and copyable?

A. Yes, with OCR — it recognizes the text in a scanned PDF so you can search and copy it.

Q. Can I add a handwritten signature to a PDF?

A. Yes. You can add a signature or note drawn with your finger directly onto a PDF, such as a contract.
