Pay for the exports you actually make
A PDF app with no subscription matters because these jobs are lumpy. You merge two contracts in March and compress a scan in November. A monthly plan charges you for the months you never open the app.
ViaPDF is free to download. Every tool can be opened and run. The first Share or Save is free, so you can finish one real job and judge the result. After that, unlimited exports are a one-time purchase. The price set for the US is $14.99. On the unlock button, Google Play shows the price for your country. There is no subscription and no ad tier.
What you can do before you pay
- Merge, split, compress, rotate, and OCR, and see the result on screen.
- Read the real compressed size before you commit to an export.
- Copy recognized text to the clipboard. Saving a new PDF is the step that counts as an export.
The paywall shows three things: all five tools, unlimited exports with no quotas, and offline processing with no upload. The same points are in the offline PDF app guide and what this toolkit includes.
