PageCat PDF Reader & Editor

PageCat is a free PDF reader, PDF editor and document scanner with every tool unlocked. No subscription, no account, no uploads: your files are processed on your phone.

Read
• Fast continuous scrolling, pinch and double-tap zoom, page scrubber, night mode
• Search inside documents, select and copy text, read aloud
• Find files by what they say: search "invoice" and PageCat finds the PDFs that contain it, even when the file name doesn't match
• Book-style reading mode with two pages side by side on tablets and foldables
• Opens password-protected PDFs and remembers where you stopped, with favorites and bookmarks

Mark up and fill
• Highlight, underline, strike out, draw, add notes, rectangles, ovals and arrows
• Annotations are standard PDF annotations, so they open in other PDF apps
• Fill forms (text, checkboxes, radio buttons, dropdowns) and flatten them
• Edit a line of text, even on scans and photos

Sign
• Draw or type your signature, or photograph one on paper (the background disappears)
• Save signatures and initials, encrypted on your device
• Add today's date, "Approved" and other stamps
• Sign with a digital certificate: import a .p12/.pfx, use a device certificate, or create a self-signed identity
• "Fill & Sign" walks you from field to field, then flattens the result

Scan and OCR
• Camera scanner with edge detection, crop and clean-up. No camera permission needed
• Turn scans and photos into searchable PDFs: Latin, Chinese, Devanagari, Japanese and Korean text
• Make an existing scanned PDF searchable

PDF tools
• Merge PDFs, split and extract pages, rotate, reorder, delete and add pages
• Compress a PDF for email and uploads
• Protect with a password (AES-256) or remove a password you know
• Convert PDF to JPG/PNG or text, and images to PDF
• Page numbers, watermarks, stamps and crop

Private by design
• Your documents are processed offline and never leave your phone
• No account, no sign-in. PageCat itself has no analytics; its ads come from Google AdMob, which collects ad data
• Ads are small banners on the home, tools and settings screens, plus an occasional full-screen ad after a tool finishes. Never in the reader, editor, scanner or signing screens
• Every feature is free. No purchases, no subscriptions, no locked tools

Works on phones, tablets, foldables and Chromebooks, in 11 languages.

Visual signatures are simple electronic signatures, not qualified signatures.
