These are some of the tools I have included in my app Scribe PDF https://apps.apple.com/us/app/sc... which is available on the Apple store. Can you suggest more tools that can be included.
There are other tools available e.g. Nitro PDF, I love PDF, Adobe Acrobat. Scribe PDF competes with them on various fronts
A single, lightweight, native app — not a bloated Electron wrapper, not a cloud service with an app-shaped
front end — that puts 29 professional PDF tools behind one clean, intuitive interface. Merge, split,
compress, sign, redact, watermark, OCR, annotate, convert, and more. Pick a tool, drop a file, get a result.
No account, no upload, no waiting on a server.
