What's New in v1.4

Released 2026


Fill & export forms

Fill interactive PDF form fields directly in the app, then export the completed form.

Search in your PDF

Find any word or phrase across your document and replace it in place — the surrounding text keeps its layout.

Highlight text

Highlight any passage of text. Pick the color, adjust the opacity, and move or remove a highlight after placing it.

Smarter text editing

Related text now groups into sections, so you can select and edit a whole block at once instead of line by line.

Refreshed design

Redesigned toolbar icons and buttons for a cleaner, easier-to-read editor.

Fixes

The Manage Pages reorder list now scrolls smoothly for documents with many pages.


What's New in v1.3.1

Released 2026


Mac App Store

PDFCrab is now available on Mac. All features from the iOS app run natively on macOS — edit, OCR, export, manage pages, and password-protect PDFs directly on your Mac. No cloud, no subscriptions, nothing leaves your device.

Arabic language support

Text editing and OCR now correctly recognize and render Arabic script with right-to-left layout. The right font is embedded automatically based on what the text contains.

OCR

Scan a photo or PDF of a document and PDFCrab recognizes the text on-device, turning it into real, selectable, editable PDF text instead of a flat image. Review and correct recognized text, then save as separate files or merged into one PDF.

Cyrillic, Chinese, Japanese & Korean support

Editing text and recognizing text via OCR now correctly handles Cyrillic and CJK scripts, not just Latin.

Export to 5 formats

Turn any PDF into a TXT file, an audio narration, page images, a Word document, or a PowerPoint — directly on your device, for every PDF, not just scanned ones.

Manage Pages

The screen you already use to delete pages also lets you drag pages into a new order and save when you're ready.

Page Tools

Add page numbers in the position you choose, rotate any page, and switch between Standard and Letter page sizes — with a one-tap way back to the original size.

Resize images and graphics

Drag any corner or edge handle to resize images and vector graphics to exactly the size you need. Or pick a quick preset — 50%, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%.

Page navigation sidebar
