The PDF editor SDK for iOS and iPadOS

A native iOS PDF SDK for SwiftUI and UIKit apps. Your users edit the text already in the PDF, fill and build forms, mark up, sign and verify — on iPhone, iPad and the Mac.

@main
struct MyApp: App {
    init() { PDFEditorSDK.setLicenseKey("PE1.eyJ2Ijox…") }
    var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView() } }
}

// Present the editor; the edited PDF comes back as Data.
PDFEditorView(url: pdfURL) { edited in
    try? edited.write(to: pdfURL, options: .atomic)
} onCancel: { }

Everything your users need, in your iOS app.

Change the text already in the PDF, in any script — its font, size and colour — then move, rotate or restack it.

Built for iOS.

  • SwiftUI and UIKit

    Present the editor as a SwiftUI view or from UIKit. You get the edited PDF back as Data.

  • iPhone, iPad and Mac

    The same product runs on iPad and, through Mac Catalyst, on the Mac — one code base.

  • Swift Package Manager

    Add one Swift package. Nothing else to install, and no CocoaPods.

  • Make it yours

    Choose the modes and tools, rename, reorder or re-icon them, add your own buttons, set fonts and the selection style.

  • Edit from code

    A document API makes the same kinds of edits without the editor — read and replace text, add content, fill forms.

  • Digital signatures

    Sign with a digital ID and verify the signatures already in a document.

Full iOS guide

Add a Swift PDF editor in three steps.

  1. 1

    Add the Swift package

    In Xcode, choose Add Package Dependencies, enter the package URL that comes with your license, and add the PDFEditorUI product to your app target.

  2. 2

    Set your license key

    Once at launch, before the first editor opens. The key must list your app’s bundle identifier.

  3. 3

    Present the editor

    Use PDFEditorView in SwiftUI or PDFEditorViewController in UIKit. Give it a PDF file and get the edited bytes back.

iOS questions.

Yes. Present the editor as a SwiftUI view; UIKit apps present it from a view controller. Either way the edited PDF comes back as Data.

iOS and iPadOS 15 or later, and Mac Catalyst 15 or later.

No. PDF-SDK ships as a Swift package — add it with Swift Package Manager.
