PDF Search: AI Chat & OCR9.1 - App Store

PDF Search reads every word of every document you own and makes it findable in
the time it takes to type. Then it goes further: ask a question in plain words
and get an answer, with the exact pages it came from.

Built for people who live in documents: students, lawyers and researchers.
ASK YOUR DOCUMENTS ANYTHING

AI Chat answers questions about your library in plain language. Ask "can I end
my lease early?" and it searches your documents, reads the pages that matter,
and answers, citing the page each fact came from so you can check it yourself.

. Chat about your whole library, or the one document you are reading
. Every answer carries page references you can tap
. Conversations are saved, so you can pick one up later
. Runs on your device, or on Apple's Private Cloud Compute

AI Chat needs Apple Intelligence: an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an iPad with an
M-series chip, running iOS 26 or later.
SEARCH THAT RANKS, NOT JUST MATCHES

Ordinary search tells you a word exists somewhere. PDF Search scores every page
on how well it answers you: where the words appear, how close together they
are, whether they land in a heading. The strongest pages come first.

. Results grouped by document, with every matching page and its rank
. Jump straight to the page, your words highlighted in context
. Search everything at once, or narrow to a folder or tag
. Export results to share or keep
LANGUAGE, NOT JUST LETTERS

Indexing uses tokenizing and lemmatization, so search understands the shape of
a word. Look for "hike" and find "hiking"; look for "children" and find
"child". Stems and near matches are covered too.
WORDS LOCKED IN PICTURES

Built-in text recognition reads photographed receipts, scanned contracts and
screenshots of slides, and adds every word to your index, so a picture of a
page is as searchable as the page itself. It covers every language your device
supports.

The built-in scanner turns paper documents, notes and cards into PDFs, reads
them as it goes, and files them with everything else, searchable from the
moment they land.
MORE THAN PDFS

Index PDFs alongside Microsoft Office documents (Word, PowerPoint), iWork files
(Pages, Keynote), rich text, plain text and logs, source code, and pages saved
from the web. Turn any format off to skip it.
KEEP A LARGE LIBRARY IN ORDER

. Folders on device or in iCloud, plus any folder or file you point the app at
. Tags, to cut across folders however you think
. Bookmarks with notes, gathered in one place across every document
. A document's table of contents, to move around a long file quickly
. Highlights and annotations while you read
. Index status at a glance: what is indexed, what is queued
YOUR MAC, IN YOUR POCKET

Run PDF Search on your Mac and sync over Wi-Fi with a single click. Documents
come across with their index intact, so your iPhone or iPad need not do the
work twice.
PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

Indexing, text recognition and search happen on your device. No account, no
tracking, and purchases are verified on the device by the App Store.
FREE AND PRO

The free version indexes and searches your documents and opens the top-ranked
result. Pro unlocks everything else:

. AI Chat, with page references
. Search inside images and scans
. Scan paper to PDF
. Plurals, stems and near matches
. Every ranked result, not just the first
. Export, tag and de-duplicate

Pro comes as a monthly or annual subscription, or a one-off lifetime unlock:
one payment, yours for good, no renewals.

AI CHAT

exact pages it came from.

• Chat about your whole library, or about the one document you are reading

actually answer you rather than the first ones it finds

M-series chip, running iOS 26 or later. It is part of Pro.

SETTINGS, REWORKED

scrolling a large library stays smooth. Memory use during indexing is
substantially lower.
