Quick answer

Read, comment, fill, sign and edit PDFs on your phone, all on the device

An open-source, reimplementation of Adobe Acrobat Reader in Rust while using Kotlin as the UI framework.

PdfCraft is a PDF reader and editor for Android, built on the PdfCraft engine. It follows the layout and the tools of Acrobat Reader for phones, and everything stays on your phone: no account, no cloud.

Read * Continuous or single page, Reading Mode (text reflowed to the screen), Night Mode * Find, text selection, links, bookmarks and the table of contents, attachments * Read aloud with the phone's voice, the words marked as they're read

Comment * Notes and voice comments, highlight, underline, strikethrough, drawing (snap to shape) and text * The Comment List, threads and replies

Fill and sign * Fill in form fields, or use Fill & Sign: text, marks and a drawn or imported signature

Edit * Edit text, add text and images, move, resize and turn pictures * Organize pages: move, turn, insert, extract and delete; crop pages

Make new files * Compress, combine, set a password, create PDFs from images, text or office documents, scan * Export to Word, RTF, Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG or PNG * Recognize text on scanned pages

Changes are saved back into the file you opened. Works upright and sideways, in the light and dark themes. PdfCraft is in beta.

PdfCraft is not affiliated with or endorsed by Adobe. Acrobat is a trademark of Adobe Inc.

What’s new

* Sign with a digital ID (a .p12 / .pfx file, or one made in the app), check a document's signatures and trust signers
* An APK for 32-bit ARM phones
* Changes to a file that can't be written back (like one picked from the file picker's Recent) are offered as a copy when you close it instead of being lost
* The app's text is ready to be translated

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
