Common questions
Can I open a password-protected PDF?
Yes. The app asks for the password. If the file stays locked, you can view it but not change it.
Can I merge or split PDFs?
Use Insert PDF to add another PDF's pages and Extract pages to save some pages, for example 1-3,5, as a new file.
Can it read scanned PDFs?
No. There is no text recognition (OCR) yet, so the AI cannot read text in scanned pages. Redaction and compression are also not available.
