PDFify

Anything can become a searchable PDF

Requires macOS 10.13.6 or later.
Also available on Mac App Store.

PDFify creates searchable PDFs in more than 100 languages. Now also as PDF/A-2u, preferred for long-term archiving. PDFify reduces also the file size.

Not only existing PDFs can be converted into searchable PDFs, but also images, scans, screenshots, emails, web pages and more. Simply drag your files onto PDFify and the rest happens automatically.

Finder Quick Actions allow you to quickly process - batch process - multiple files in one go:

  • Create searchable PDF
  • Convert to PDF/A
  • Optimize PDF size

These powerful functions make it easy to add new pages to the PDF:

  • intuitive scanner dialog
  • your iPhone camera as a scanner
  • Screenshots directly from the app
  • PDFify as a destination for your ScanSnap scans
  • Paste pages directly from the clipboard

PDFify is completed by other useful features:

  • Have content read aloud by the computer
  • Optimization of the file size through three-stage compression of the PDF file
  • Copy all text content with one click
  • Share, save or print the finished PDF
  • Overwrite the existing file or create a new one when performing quick actions
  • optional faster display of a linearized PDF on the web, which is optimized for fast display on the Internet
  • Display in original size or limited to DIN A4 or US letter
  • UNDO function to undo work steps

In addition to Apple’s integrated text recognition Apple Vision, the proven alternative “Tesseract” is also supported.
