PDF Craft: Local Desk

Scan documents, turn photos into PDFs, merge files, recognize text, and protect sensitive documents in a local-first PDF workspace.

PDF Craft is a local-first PDF workspace for creating, merging, recognizing, organizing, viewing, and protecting documents on iPhone and iPad.

Use PDF Craft when you need to capture paper pages, turn photos into PDFs, import existing files, combine documents, recognize text, or keep sensitive PDFs organized in one place.

Key features:

• Scan paper documents, notes, receipts, and everyday pages into PDFs.
• Convert selected photos into a single PDF document.
• Import PDF files from Files into your local document library.
• Merge multiple PDFs into one new document and keep the selected order clear.
• Recognize text from a camera scan or selected image using on-device text recognition.
• Review and edit recognized text, copy it, or create a text-based PDF.
• Manage documents with recent files, favorites, filters, search, sharing, and deletion.
• Open PDFs in a native viewer with page navigation, thumbnails, sharing, page insertion, and protection actions.
• Protect sensitive documents with a password workflow and App Privacy Lock with Face ID where available.
• Keep core document workflows local to the device; export or share files only when you choose.

PDF Craft is designed for daily document work: class notes, receipts, forms, travel documents, contracts, invoices, and personal archives.
