## Description

PDFMason is a native PDF editor for Mac, iPad and iPhone, built to do real work on documents
rather than just show them. Its intelligence runs on your device, so your files never touch a
server — there is no account to make and nothing to upload.

ONE APP, EVERY DEVICE
Buy it once and it is yours on all of them. The same editor runs on macOS, iPadOS and iOS,
and your signatures follow you through your own iCloud.

READ AND FIND
• Fast viewing, search, thumbnails and outline
• Reading themes — sepia, night, dimmed or a tint you choose — applied live
• Read Aloud with word-by-word highlighting, which reads scanned pages too by recognising the
  text on them first
• Select text on a scan as if it had been typed

MARK UP ANYTHING
• Draw, highlight, underline, strike through
• Lines, arrows, rectangles, ovals, text boxes and sticky notes
• Comment on the exact passage you mean, with review statuses and replies
• Comments travel inside the file, so the person you send it to sees them

SIGN AND FILL
• Sign by drawing, by typing in a script face, or by photographing a signature you made on
  paper — it is traced, not pasted, so there is no white box around it
• Fill & Sign finds the blanks on a printed form: tap a line to type, tap a box to tick it
• Fill repeated forms from a profile you save once

REDACT AND PROTECT
• Real redaction, where the content is removed from the file rather than covered over — and
  the app tells you plainly which of the two you are doing
• Find sensitive details — names, emails, card and account numbers — and remove them together
• Export a password-protected copy, leaving your original untouched

RESHAPE DOCUMENTS
• Merge, rotate, crop, insert, duplicate, delete and reorder pages
• Scan with the camera, straightened and cropped to the page edges
• Turn photos into pages, and Markdown into a document
• Export as Markdown — the format an AI assistant reads best
• Stamp page numbers, Bates numbering and watermarks across every page at once

ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE
• Summarize a page, a selection or a whole document
• Ask a question and get an answer grounded in the document
• Translate in place
• All of it runs locally on supported devices; nothing is sent anywhere

FOR EVERYONE
• Nine languages, including right-to-left
• VoiceOver, larger text, increased contrast and reduced motion

WHAT IS FREE
Reading, search and reading themes. Every markup tool. Read Aloud. Every page operation —
rotate, crop, reorder, insert, delete, merge. Scanning and text recognition. Sharing and
exporting the file as it is. One saved signature. Twenty comments per document. Nothing you
have already made is ever locked away later.

PDFMASON PRO
Pro adds a signature library that syncs across your devices, Fill & Sign, redaction, the
on-device AI, stamps and Bates numbering, Finalize, password-protected export, and comments
beyond the free twenty. One purchase covers Mac, iPad and iPhone. Choose monthly or yearly —
each starts with a free week — or pay once for a lifetime unlock. There is no forced
subscription.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no analytics, no servers, no tracking. Text recognition and every AI feature run
on your device. The only thing that ever leaves it is a signature, into your own iCloud, if
you turn that on.
