Getting started with ExplorePDF
Open your first PDF, choose a job and understand how ExplorePDF protects the original.
Steps
Open ExplorePDF and choose Open a PDF. On Apple devices you can choose a file from Files, iCloud Drive or another available location. On Android, choose a local PDF or open one from another app. On Windows you can also open from File Explorer or drag a PDF into the app.
Choose the PDF you want to work with. ExplorePDF opens it as a document and does not change the file you selected.
Use Read, Pages or Find & Bookmarks for the open document. Version 1.3 also offers Mark Up, Fill Form, Sign and Recognize Text.
Choose a task that makes a new PDF when you need a booklet, several pages on one sheet, matching page sizes, split files or a combined document.
Review the preview, page order and any message shown before you make the copy.
Choose Save a Copy or the task's make button, then choose a name and location. The result is saved there as a new PDF and the original stays as it was.
