PDF Tools feature questions

Direct answers about this PDF Tools feature.

What can PDF Tools do on Android?

PDF Tools can create PDFs from images, merge PDF files, compress a PDF, split every page into its own file, protect a PDF with an AES-256 password, recognise text with on-device OCR, import existing documents, organize files, share PDFs, and delete files you no longer need.

Can PDF Tools extract text from a scanned document?

Yes. OCR recognises text in images and in scanned PDF pages using a text-recognition model bundled inside the app, so it works offline and neither the file nor the recognised text is uploaded.

Does PDF Tools upload documents to a server?

No. Files are processed locally on your device. PDF Tools does not upload your files to any server.
