How it works

  1. 1

    Open in your browser

    Chrome, Safari or any other browser works.

  2. 2

    Choose the PDF

    From Downloads, the Files app, Google Drive or iCloud.

  3. 3

    Tap the text — the view zooms to a readable size.

  4. 4

    Save & share

Why no app?

PDF apps often want a subscription, show ads or ask for broad permissions. For a quick fix, a signature or a form, the browser is enough. Nothing is installed and the PDF never leaves your phone.

What works especially well on a phone

  • Signing with your finger — often neater than with a mouse.
  • Filling forms — fields zoom in when tapped.
  • Quick corrections to text, dates or amounts.

Tips for small screens

  • Pinch to zoom for precise placement.
  • Swipe the toolbar sideways to reach all tools.
  • To reorder many pages, use Organize PDF with its drag handle.

Tips

  • Multi-line paragraphs are edited as a whole and re-wrap automatically as you type.
  • Undo any step with ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z and download with ⌘S.
  • Scanned pages contain no text — run them through OCR first.
