PDF Maker Pro is a complete offline PDF toolkit for iPhone and iPad. Scan paper documents, annotate PDFs, capture digital signatures, and share files via Wi-Fi — all without internet, cloud, or accounts.

PDF Maker Pro runs on iPhone and iPad with iOS 17 or later. It supports both portrait and landscape orientations on all supported devices.

No. PDF Maker Pro works 100% offline. The only time it connects to the internet is to verify your purchase through the App Store. All other features work without any network connection.

Yes. PDF Maker Pro is a universal app that runs natively on both iPhone and iPad. One purchase covers all your iOS devices signed in with the same Apple ID.

PDF Maker Pro offers a 2-day free trial with full access to every feature. After the trial, a single one-time purchase unlocks the app forever. No subscription, no recurring fees, no hidden charges. The price is displayed in the app based on your App Store region.

Correct. PDF Maker Pro uses a one-time purchase model. You buy it once and own it forever. There are no monthly or yearly fees. No surprise charges. No in-app currency.

After the 2-day trial ends, you'll see a paywall screen prompting you to make a one-time purchase. You can still view your existing documents, but creating new ones or using advanced features requires the purchase.

Yes. Use the Restore Purchase option in the app. As long as you're signed in with the same Apple ID that made the original purchase, it will be restored at no extra cost.

Refunds are handled by Apple through their App Store refund process. We don't process payments directly. You can request a refund through reportaproblem.apple.com.

The scanner uses Apple's VisionKit framework to automatically detect document edges, correct perspective distortion, and enhance readability. Just point your camera at a document and the scanner handles the rest. You can scan multiple pages in one session.

PDF Maker Pro includes: highlight, underline, and strikethrough; freehand drawing with pen, marker, and pencil tools; shapes (rectangles, circles, lines, arrows); sticky notes; free text; and image stamps. All tools support customizable colors and stroke widths.

You can save up to 5 different signatures. Each signature supports undo/redo while drawing. Saved signatures can be inserted into any PDF with a single tap.

The app starts a local web server on your device. Any device on the same Wi-Fi network can access your PDFs through a web browser. Scan the QR code shown in the app to connect instantly. You can upload, download, rename, and delete files from the browser interface. Optional PIN protection adds extra security.

Yes. You can import PDFs from Files, email attachments, Safari downloads, or any app that supports file sharing on iOS. The imported PDFs appear in your document library.

Yes. You can use Apple Pencil for drawing annotations, signing documents, and making freehand notes on any PDF. All drawing tools work with both finger and Apple Pencil input.

No. PDF Maker Pro does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. There are no analytics, no tracking, no cloud uploads, and no user accounts. All your documents stay on your device.

Never. All PDFs are stored locally on your device. The only network activity is the optional Wi-Fi file sharing feature, which operates on your local network — not the internet.

Wi-Fi sharing only works on your local network. No data is sent over the internet. You can enable PIN protection to restrict access — only users with the PIN can connect. The server stops when you close the sharing screen.

No. No registration, no email, no login, no account. Just install and use. The only Apple ID interaction is for the App Store purchase.

Make sure the document is on a contrasting background (e.g., a white document on a dark surface). Ensure adequate lighting and hold the camera steady. The scanner works best with clear, well-lit documents.

Ensure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Check the URL displayed in the Share tab. Try refreshing the browser page. If using a VPN on either device, try disconnecting it temporarily.

Try the Restore Purchase option in the app. Make sure you're signed in with the same Apple ID used for the original purchase. If the issue persists, try restarting the app or your device.

Very large PDFs (hundreds of pages) may take a moment to load. The app uses lazy loading to render pages as you scroll. If performance is an issue, try closing other apps to free up memory.
