If your paperwork runs in both Arabic and English, this is a rare PDF app that treats right-to-left text as a first-class case and keeps scanning, signing and OCR on the device.
PDFz turns an iPhone, iPad or Apple silicon Mac into a PDF desk. It scans multi-page documents with automatic edge detection, edits text and images in existing PDFs, reorders pages, fills and creates forms, and adds signatures. It also merges, splits, password-protects, searches by OCR and translates. Scanning, editing, signing and OCR run on the device; conversion to Word, Excel and PowerPoint goes through a server, with files deleted after download. English and Arabic are supported side by side. Free to download, with subscriptions at $1.99 a week, $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year.
