PDF24 - Edit & Scan
What are the main features of the PDF24 app?
PDF24 offers a reliable scanner with auto-enhance and edge detection, plus tools to edit, sign, merge, and compress PDFs. You can add signatures with the draw tool, combine multiple files into one, and shrink large documents for emailing without losing clarity.
Can I highlight text in a PDF using PDF24?
Yes, you can easily highlight text by tapping the 'Edit' option and selecting the highlighter tool, then dragging your finger over the text. It’s intuitive and works well even on a phone screen.
Why is PDF24 slow when editing text-heavy PDFs?
The app can be a bit slow to render changes on very text-heavy PDFs, but it’s a minor hiccup and the app has never crashed during use. For most everyday documents, performance is smooth and reliable.
Is PDF24 really free, or are there hidden costs?
PDF24 is completely free with no subscriptions, premium tiers, or paywalls for core features like scanning, editing, merging, and compressing. You get full functionality without any nagging upsells.
How does PDF24 compare to Adobe Acrobat for mobile?
While Adobe Acrobat offers more advanced editing features, PDF24 is a better choice for quick, everyday tasks like scanning receipts or signing contracts—and it’s entirely free. PDF24’s interface is simpler and more intuitive for basic document work on a phone.
