Features

Private by design

Most online PDF sites upload your file to their server. AK Smarts PDF opens and processes it inside your own browser, on your computer or phone, so salary slips, bank statements, Aadhaar and PAN copies, and contracts never leave your device. It works on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone, and you can install it like an app to open PDFs with a double-click.

Questions

Will formatting be kept?

Plain text has no formatting. Use PDF to Word to keep layout.

Can it read Hindi?

Text that is already in the PDF in any language is extracted. Recognition of scans works for English.

Is there a page limit?

No fixed limit.

Is AK Smarts PDF safe for confidential files?

Yes. Files are opened and processed on your own computer or phone and are never uploaded to our server. Only e-Sign sends a short fingerprint of the document, never the document itself.
