Ask SI about PDF Expert

Answers use saved listing facts and recorded sources.

What it does

PDF Expert combines annotation, editing, page management, conversion, and OCR on Apple devices. It can also crop and split double-page scans.

For a scanned research paper, OCR makes text searchable and available for highlighting or copying. Scan enhancement addresses shadows/distortion, while crop-and-split separates double-page spreads. The yearly Premium plan covers iPhone, iPad and Mac; the one-time Lifetime option is Mac-only and may charge for additional new features. Choose the actual device and licence around the reading/editing task, rather than assuming a Mac purchase also covers mobile.

Strengths

Includes scan cleanup alongside PDF annotation and editing.
