How to scan to PDF on your iPhone
A PDF is the right format for scanned paperwork: it holds multiple pages, prints cleanly, and opens anywhere. Printer App scans directly to PDF so you don't have to convert anything afterward.
Scan to a PDF
- Open Printer App and choose Scan.
- Capture each page — the scanner straightens and crops it for you.
- Reorder or delete pages until the document is right.
- Tap Save to create a single PDF, then rename it so it's easy to find later.
FAQ
- How do I combine several scans into one PDF?
- Scan all the pages in one session and they become a single PDF automatically. To combine separate PDFs you already have, use the merge tool.
- Can I make the PDF searchable?
- Yes. Run OCR on the scan and the recognized text is embedded, so you can search and copy from the PDF.
