What is PDF Viewer&Scanner?
PDF Viewer&Scanner is a document scanner and PDF reader that handles viewing, annotation, and file conversion from one app. You scan paper receipts with your camera, mark up contracts on the train, or merge scattered PDFs into a single file without switching tools.
The app opens PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoint slides, and Excel sheets in a unified reader. You annotate PDFs by highlighting passages, underlining key terms, or striking through text that no longer applies. The camera scanner converts physical documents into PDFs on the spot: invoices, handwritten notes, or meeting agendas all digitized in seconds. When you need to combine research papers or split a 50-page report into chapters, the merge and split tools handle it without leaving the app. Password encryption locks sensitive files so only authorized recipients can open them.
Key Features:
- Opens PDF, Word, PPT, and Excel files in one reader, so you stop juggling apps for different formats.
- Highlights, underlines, and strikethroughs let you mark up PDFs the way you would with a pen, useful for reviewing contracts or study notes.
- The built-in camera scanner turns paper into searchable PDFs instantly, no standalone scanner required.
- Merge or split PDFs in a few taps when you need to combine invoices or break up a manual by section.
- Password protection keeps private documents locked, whether you're sharing tax forms or client proposals.
PDF annotation tools
Highlighting works across the entire document, so you can color-code sections by topic or urgency. Underlining singles out definitions or clauses that need a second look. Strikethroughs mark outdated terms in contracts without deleting the original text, which matters when you need an edit trail. All three sit in a toolbar at the bottom, no hunting through menus.
Other document scanner apps
Adobe Acrobat Reader brings enterprise-grade PDF tools and cloud sync across devices, suited to teams working on shared files. CamScanner focuses on high-resolution scans with OCR that extracts text from images, a better fit when digitizing books or receipts that need to be searchable. PDF Viewer&Scanner balances scanning, annotation, and file management in one package, which works when you want fewer apps installed and don't need OCR or team collaboration features.
PDF Viewer&Scanner fits office workers managing contracts, students organizing lecture slides, and anyone digitizing paperwork on the go. The app is free but displays ads, so expect interruptions between scans or when opening files. If you need a compact tool that reads, marks up, and converts documents without a desktop, this handles the essentials.
