PDF Extra is a cross-platform suite application developed by MobiSystems[1][2]. The software allows users to create, edit, convert, compress, sign, secure, and share Portable Document Format (PDF) files on desktop and mobile devices.[3]

History

The product was initially launched in 2014 on the Android platform under the name of Quick PDF Scanner[4] and allowed users to scan physical documents into PDF files.[5][6][7] In 2019, the app transitioned to an all-in-one PDF suite and was rebranded as PDF Extra.[8] A version for Windows devices was introduced in 2019,[9] with an iOS version following in 2020.[10]

Features

The software enables scanning, creating, annotating, and editing PDF files. Supported conversions include PDF to Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, EPUB, and PDF to image (JPEG and PNG). The application allows file encryption (RC4, AES), digital signatures, and the ability to lock files or selectively apply read-only and permissions passwords.[3][11]

Editions

PDF Extra offers a free version supported by ads and three commercial options.[12][13] Two of the commercial editions are subscription-based, while one allows a one-time purchase license.[14] Each commercial version includes a specified amount of cloud storage on MobiSystems' proprietary cloud platform.[15]

PDF Association

In October 2022, MobiSystems became a member of the PDF Association – an international collaboration of member organizations promoting the adoption of International Standards related to PDF technology.[2][3]
