Welcome to
PDF Extra!

Go through our short introductory guide to

learn the app’s navigation, main features
and how to use them.

The first screen you’ll see after
opening PDF Extra is the Home tab.
Along with it at the bottom of the
screen are also the Create New
button and the Files tab. These three
will be one of your main ways of
navigating through the app, so let’s
have a closer look at them.

Home - This is the default PDF Extra

menu, housing your recently opened
files and list of Favorites.

Create New - Contains some of

the features you’ll be using the most.
Features such as camera scanning,
conversions, creating blank PDFs and
more. Check page 3 to learn more
about it.

Files - Here’s where you can

access your existing PDFs and
other files on your local or cloud
storages. Check page 4 to learn
more about it.

Once you’ve opened a file, have a look at the
top center of the screen. There you’ll find the

is done from the toolbar just below the tabs.

Scroll through the toolbar and tap to select the
one you want to use. The full list of features

To learn more about a specific feature, read the
tooltip that appears in the center of the screen
after you tap on a feature.

Once you’ve selected the feature you want and

know how to use it you can finetune it by going to
the floating button at the bottom right of the
screen. There you’ll find a different set of settings,
depending on the feature you’ve selected.

Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s have
a look at some specific operations you’ll be
performing frequently.

Edit

To start, just go to the Edit tab and tap on the Text or Images option. Once
done, the PDF below will show borders around any editable text and anchors
around images or other graphic elements. You can use these borders and
anchors to resize or move the fields, as well as edit their contents.

Fill & Sign

Filling in and signing contracts, forms and

other PDF documentation is easy with
PDF Extra. Just go to the Fill & Sign tab,
tap on Signature, add your signature
by hardwiring and then drag it to the
appropriate field. From the Fill & Sign tab
you can also add dates,
Text boxes or make a
quick sketch with the
drawing tools.

Organizing Pages

To change your PDFs structure tap on Pages navigation, while in main

document view (no features selected). They can be found at the bottom of
the screen on iPhones and in the top right corner, under ‘Pages’, on iPads.

Tapping there will send you

to a new screen where you
can Insert, Rotate, Delete,
Duplicate or Delete pages,
as well as Merge entire PDFs.
