New in FolikPDF 1.0.1
Photos, scans, Office documents, text files, and mixed batches can now become reviewed PDFs on your device. Existing PDFs gain practical tools for OCR, compression, library-wide search, and permanent redaction.

Folik keeps the original page graphics, skips pages that already contain text or annotations, and lets you review the searchable copy before saving.

Convert Word, LibreOffice, text, RTF, images, legacy DOC, and supported Pages previews entirely on your device—with compatibility notes up front.

Marked areas are erased into rendered pixels while source text, metadata, links, attachments, forms, and editable annotations stay out of the new file.
Also in 1.0.1
Private by architecture
No backend receives your PDFs, scans, search terms, signatures, or edits. Apple’s frameworks do the work where your documents already are: on your device.
