PDF Tools: Advanced

Merge, split, annotate, protect & convert PDFs offline.

Why people use it

PDF Tools: Advanced is an offline-first Android toolkit for everyday PDF work. Merge, split, annotate, compress, protect, unlock, run OCR, analyze, and convert — then save an editable project or export a finished PDF. Documents stay on the device unless you choose optional Google Drive or optional AI. Premium removes ads and unlocks Unlock PDF, unlimited OCR, Drive upload without ad gates, and soft-gated advanced tools. Light / dark / system themes; UI in English, Vietnamese, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, and Chinese.

FAQ

Common questions before you install.

Does my PDF leave my phone?

Processing is offline-first on device. Files leave only if you use optional Google Drive or optional AI.

What’s the difference between Save and Export?

Save keeps an editable project in Recent so you can continue. Export writes a PDF you can share, save, print, or upload to Drive.

Can I merge more than two PDFs for free?

Merging two files is free. Merging more than two hits a free limit — watch an ad once or upgrade to Premium.

How do I annotate or watermark?

Open Annotate — draw, highlight, text, shapes, stamps, signature, and text or image watermarks with live placement. Watermark is part of Annotate, not a separate hub tool.

Can I unlock a password-protected PDF?

Yes, via Unlock — Premium only. Protect is available on Free; change password may soft-gate.

Is OCR free?

Yes — up to a free daily allowance (3 runs per day), then watch an ad or go Premium for unlimited OCR.

What can AI Assist do?

Summarize, translate, explain, or extract tables from document text (with optional OCR). AI runs only when you ask; free daily uses apply.

Can I convert Word, Excel, or PowerPoint?

Yes via Convert tools, with an offline best-effort path (text / HTML / CSV / images). Native .docx / .xlsx / .pptx fidelity is limited; Play listing says “as available.”
