Capture
Scan with the camera or import photos. Automatic crop, perspective correction, and text enhancement keep pages readable.
iPhone PDF scanner
Boreal PDF
Turn paper forms, receipts, certificates, and application documents into polished PDFs. Scan, sign, compress, OCR, preview, and export from one calm iPhone workflow.
Availability can vary while the App Store version is in review or rollout.
Workflow
From a page in your hand to a PDF you can submit.
Complete
Add dates, names, text, signatures, and stamp-style marks without printing the document again.
Compress
Choose target sizes for upload portals and keep the result readable before export.
Export
Preview the PDF, run OCR when needed, then save to Files, share, or print.
Use cases
When a document has to be accepted, the workflow should be short.
Boreal PDF is focused on the practical moments before submission: finishing missing fields, reducing file size, and exporting something clean enough to send.
Applications, certificates, resumes, and school forms
Receipts, reimbursements, invoices, and tax records
HR files, contracts, and forms that need dates or signatures
PDF compression before a web upload
OCR and searchable PDFs for printed documents
Trust posture
Local-first by default, without pretending every PDF needs a cloud account.
This companion site is static-first and keeps the public API lightweight. It does not claim cloud sync, account storage, or server-side document processing.
Clear upgrade moments
Paid features are tied to export, compression, OCR, and final document quality, not blocking the first scan.
Submission details
Dates, text fields, signatures, stamp-style marks, OCR, Files, sharing, and print flows stay close to the document.
Focused, not bloated
Boreal PDF is not trying to become a full desktop PDF suite. It is built for the work people do right before sending a file.
Pricing
Start free. Upgrade when final document quality matters.
Compare Free, 24-hour Pro Pass, and Pro
Use the 24-hour pass for urgent submissions, or Pro monthly/yearly for recurring clean export, compression, OCR, and searchable PDFs.
Built for the final mile
Prepare cleaner PDFs on iPhone without turning every task into desktop work.
Boreal PDF keeps scanning, signatures, compression, OCR, preview, and export in one focused workflow.
