PDF-SDK

The cross-platform PDF SDK with a full editor.

One cross-platform PDF SDK: edit the text already in a PDF, fill and build forms, mark up, sign and verify in your iOS, Android, web, Flutter and React Native apps. One engine everywhere, and documents never leave the device.

The hard parts of PDF editing, already done.

Showing a PDF is easy. Changing one, and keeping it valid, is where an app team’s months go.

  • Editing the text that is there

    A PDF stores positioned glyphs, not paragraphs. The SDK replaces them in any script, with the document’s fonts or yours, and fits the result to the space.

  • Forms that stay valid

    Every field type, values read and written by name, new fields added and the form flattened when it is final.

  • Signatures that verify

    PKCS#7 signatures written as an incremental update, counter-signing that keeps earlier signatures valid, and verification of what is already there.

  • The same editor everywhere

    One engine behind native iOS, Android and web editors — and Flutter and React Native on top — so a document behaves the same on all of them.

Add it in three steps.

  1. 1Add the package to your app.
  2. 2Set your license key once, at startup.
  3. 3Open the editor — and get the edited PDF back.
Getting started guide
import { PdfEditor } from '@pdfsdk/react-native-pdf-editor';

PDF SDK questions.

A software development kit that adds PDF features to your own app: viewing, editing, forms, annotations and signatures, with an API and a ready-made user interface. PDF-SDK ships a complete editor for iOS, Android, the web, Flutter and React Native.

Viewing is the easy part. Editing existing text across scripts and fonts, keeping forms valid and writing signatures that verify elsewhere take years to get right — an SDK lets your team ship the editor and spend its time on your app.

Yes. One engine runs behind native editors for iOS, iPadOS and the Mac, Android and the web; the Flutter plugin and the React Native package use the native SDKs. A document edited on one opens the same on the others.

No. Documents are opened, edited, signed and saved on the device, so there is no document server to host. Only online licenses talk to the license server, and they keep working offline in between.

Per app: a key names the bundle IDs, package names or domains it covers. Choose a perpetual license with a period of updates, a subscription, or enterprise terms for site, wildcard and OEM use.

Yes. A free 7-day trial unlocks every feature on every platform, in any app, with no watermark and no card — and the live demo runs the web editor in your browser.
