PDF Maker is an all-in-one PDF tool to create, edit, scan, merge, convert and sign documents on the go.
Tools sit in a simple grid, the editor keeps formatting one tap away, and a confident red accent guides every key action.
{01} THE PROBLEM
PDF work on a phone means juggling apps.
We designed around what people need to get documents done.
- Scanning, editing and signing usually need different apps
- Small screens make PDF editing fiddly and slow
- Page tasks like rotate or split are buried in menus
- Large documents can be slow on everyday phones
{02} THE SOLUTION
One focused toolkit for every PDF task.
A simple tools grid, a clean editor and page tools built in.
Every task starts from one tools screen: create, edit, scan, merge, convert and sign. The editor keeps text, image, highlight and draw tools one tap away, and page tools let users add, delete, rotate, extract and split pages without leaving the document. Designed and built by one team, from UX to the finished Android app.
