Waraqa: Arabic PDF Editor

Waraqa is an Arabic and English PDF editor for Android. Edit PDF text, write on PDF, add images and a drawn signature, merge PDF files and organize pages, convert images to PDF, and extract text with Arabic OCR. Everything runs on your device: no internet needed, no watermark, no account.

Edit PDF and write on PDF
• Edit or delete the original text in a PDF, keeping the original font when available.
• Add text in Arabic or English with clear Arabic fonts; control size, color and direction.
• Insert PNG, JPEG and WebP images on any page, then resize and move them.
• Fill PDF forms by typing over any form, even one that is not fillable.
• Font library of open-license Arabic and Latin fonts; add your own TTF or OTF fonts.
• Find the hyperlinks in a document, then replace or remove them.

Sign PDF
• Sign a PDF with your finger directly on the screen, then move and resize the signature.
• A drawn signature is an image in the file, not a certificate-based digital signature.

Merge PDF and organize pages
• Merge PDF files into one document in the order you choose.
• Split a PDF and extract selected pages into a new file.
• Reorder pages by dragging, rotate pages, and delete blank or unwanted pages.

Image to PDF
• Convert one or many JPG and PNG images into a single PDF, with page size, margin and ordering options.

Extract text and Arabic OCR
• Copy text from a PDF, review it, or save it as TXT.
• On-device Arabic and English OCR extracts text from scanned pages; results may need correction.
• Search inside a PDF, in extractable text and in the text you added.

Lightweight PDF reader
• Open PDF files, navigate pages and zoom smoothly, up to 50 MB and 200 pages.

Keep your work
• Save a PDF for sharing, or a .waraqa project to continue editing your additions later.
• Waraqa keeps, on your device, an editable copy of the last ten PDFs you save, so your additions reopen as editable items when you open the same file again; you can turn this off.
• Optional local recovery for the latest editing session.

On your device, in private
• No account is required, your documents are never uploaded to a server, and there is no cloud sync.
• PDF and OCR processing happen on the device, and the editing tools work offline.
• Waraqa is free and shows a full-screen Google AdMob ad only after a file has finished saving, never while you edit, with at least three minutes between ads. Your documents never reach the ad network.

Before editing an important document
• Keep an original copy and review the exported file.
• Original text editing depends on the PDF structure and font availability; not every text segment is editable.
• Added and replacement text is exported as images to preserve its appearance; it is not selectable or searchable text in the exported PDF.
• OCR does not create searchable PDFs or guarantee accurate results for poor scans, tables or handwriting.
• Password-protected PDFs are not supported.
• A .waraqa project may retain source pages removed from view; share the exported PDF when you want to share only the final pages.

Waraqa is a PDF editor app built for Arabic users: an Arabic PDF editor with a simple interface that renders Arabic text correctly and works offline on your phone.
