      Hello,

      Thanks alot for observing this, the price was set in USD instead of AUD. We have corrected this now, sorry for the mishap!

    For anyone considering this, you can do like 90% of those functions natively in the Preview app which is both on macOS and iOS. If there's any extra functionality you need like digital certificates, you can do that with the free Adobe Acrobat Reader.

      How do you split and merge PDFs on preview? Was trying to figure it out last week. Also, does it have OCR?

      • +3

        It's been a while since I've done it but I've asked chatGPT to refresh my memory.

        1. How to Split a PDF
          Splitting is essentially "extracting" pages. There are two ways to do this:
          The Drag-and-Drop Method (Fastest):
          Open your PDF in Preview.
          If the sidebar isn't visible, go to View > Thumbnails.
          Select the page (or hold Command to select multiple pages) you want to split off.
          Drag those thumbnails directly out of the Preview window and onto your Desktop or into a folder.
          macOS instantly creates a new PDF containing only those pages.

          The "Print" Method:
          Go to File > Print.
          Under the Pages section, select a range (e.g., 5-10).
          Click the dropdown arrow next to the "Print" button and select Save as PDF.

        2. How to Merge PDFs
          You can merge two entirely different files or just insert specific pages from one file into another.
          Merging Two Full Files:
          Open PDF A in Preview.
          Ensure Thumbnails are visible (Option + Command + 2).
          Drag the PDF B file icon from your Finder (Desktop or Folder) directly into the Thumbnail sidebar of PDF A.
          You can drop it at the very beginning, the end, or between specific pages.
          Go to File > Export as PDF to save the new combined version.

          Merging Specific Pages from Two Open PDFs:
          Open both PDFs in separate Preview windows.
          In both windows, make sure Thumbnails are visible.
          Select the specific page thumbnails from the sidebar of the second PDF.
          Drag and drop them into the sidebar of the first PDF.

        • That’s great for Mac, I just have iOS

          From chat GPT - “There is no Preview app on iOS like there is on macOS. On an iPhone or iPad, PDFs open in Files or a built-in Quick Look viewer, and that viewer does not support merging or splitting PDFs.

          Apple keeps the mobile version intentionally minimal.”

            @Jamesk811: Preview app is on IOS, since IOS 26.

          • +1

            @Jamesk811: As edman said the Preview app is now on iOS. This is a perfect example of the need to verify everything that Chat GPT or other AI models tell you.

            • @Bobss: That’s correct, AI fails once again. However I still can’t work out how to merge and split PDFs on iOS preview app? I think the instructions he gave are for Mac only

              • @Jamesk811: You could ask ChatGPT and see if it gives you a better answer this time.

                • @Bobss: You seem to be the expert at chat gpt so I may just leave that to you, I’m happy to getting answers from real humans not robots

        For OCR you can use this which is free
        https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pdfgear-pdf-editor-reader/id64…

        I believe they make money off the AI stuff if you choose to buy it, but OCR is free.

      Hello, thanks for the comment!

      While Preview is very good for basic PDF tasks, myPDF is built for people who need more than the basics. Features like reusable signatures from a photo, OCR text editing, and watermarking go beyond what Preview is really designed for.

      Adobe can cover some of those needs, but many of the more advanced tools are tied to paid Acrobat plans or limited premium features rather than the basic free Reader experience.

      Our goal with myPDF is to make work with PDF files safe, easy, and affordable.

  • Still showing as $5.99 for me

    • Hello,

      • Thanks, do my scanned documents save anywhere automatically eg google drive or apple files ? I want my files to save to a cloud service automatically

        • Hello Jamesk811,

          After scanning, you can save or share your document anywhere. Feel free to leave us any feedback!

          Thanks!

    PDF Gear is free and available on both platforms.

    • -1

      Hello,

      PDF Gear requires cloud uploading of your documents. With myPDF, everything stays locally on your device, so you can edit your sensitive documents without any worries.

      PS: According to some of the online forums, PDFGear is not trustable. I won't go into further details because some may say I'm bashing the competition.

      • With myPDF, everything stays locally on your device, so you can edit your sensitive documents without any worries.

        Is it open source? Are we able to verify that's the case? Or is it a case of 'just trust me bro'

        • Apple says “no data collected” for this on App Store but then again so does PDF Gear, although PDF gear just has “usage data collected” but not linked to you.. but then you read things like this so I’ve completely uninstalled PDFGear - https://www.reddit.com/r/software/s/1H8z0MIyZL

        • Yes you can by installing Wireshark and seeing that the only API used by the application is for the IAP validation.
          Even easier, you can run it completely offline by toggling airplane mode.

          Also, you can decompile and attempt to deobfuscate the code, you shall see that no network requests are made or any data collected.

          We are commited to ensuring that working with your documents is fast, secure and completely local.

          Thank you,
          Matei

            @mateid: If you are inviting to decompile and deobfuscate (not really so simple), why isn't your solution open-source to start with?

            • @freewhere: Hi @freewhere

              Because we’re a business, and like most commercial companies, we don’t open-source the full codebase for a simple reason: we don’t want others copying the work and reselling it with little effort.

              That said, being closed-source doesn’t change the point: if someone is determined enough, they can still try to decompile or reverse engineer software.

              Thank you!

              • @mateid: Fair point. Does your software allow editing text in files?

  • +2

    I said i won't post this, but actually people deserve to know the truth:

    PDFGear and PDF X are likely spyware, malware, or, at best, griftware/scamware:

  • I've bought your premium on good faith and the app fails to convert a word document or a PPT to PDF on my Macbook.

    • Hi, thank you for your purchase and for reaching out!

      We have identified the issue you mentioned and are working on a fix which should be rolled out tommorow.

      Thank you,
      Matei

  • This app is great - I have been needing something like this for a while. The only feature it’s missing, at least for me, is the ability to quickly select a portion of the document, and that selection copying to your clipboard as an image. Would you consider adding this in the future? :)

    Edit: also can’t seem to Restore Purchases on Mac

    • Hey, thanks for the trust and support. That clipboard-as-image idea is interesting. We're analysing whether to add it to the upcoming roadmap.

      Regarding Restore Purchases: iPhone and iPad share the same iOS purchase, but macOS is a separate purchase.
      We chose to keep pricing low per platform instead of offering a higher-priced bundle, since many people only use the app on one platform. This is explained on our website and FAQ.

      Cheers,
      Matei

  • Hi I bought the app in my Mac but can’t restore purchase in my iPad or iPhone at all. Is it for single device only or can use across all. Thanks.

  • -1

    Thanks for your purchase.

    The Mac purchase does not restore on iPhone or iPad. iPhone and iPad share the same iOS purchase, but macOS is a separate platform with a separate purchase.

    We chose this approach so we could keep the price lower per platform, rather than charging everyone more for a bundle that some people may never use. This is also explained on our website and in the FAQ.

    Cheers,
    Matei

  • Does this have the ability to shared with family account?
