Everything it takes to finish the document.

Edit, redact, fill, sign, assemble and export, on your Mac, iPhone and iPad. Every page stays on your device.

Edit in place

Change the words already on the page.

Click Edit, click a paragraph, and type. Papayra edits the existing text where it stands, with the document’s own letters and fonts when the document carries them, so the page keeps its look: the same size, the same spacing, the same columns.

  • Fix a date, change a name, rewrite a sentence.
  • Bold, italic, underline, size and colour for any run of words.
  • Move or resize a paragraph, a picture or a box.
  • Undo as you go, and save back into the same file.
Papayra for Mac in Edit mode: every block of text in a light-blue box, the paragraph being edited white with handles, and the words just typed set in bold and green from the style bar, in the page’s own typeface.

Redaction

Redaction that really removes the text.

Select the words, search for every match in the document, or draw a box. When you apply the redaction, the text underneath is deleted from the file. It is not hidden behind a black rectangle that someone can copy out later.

  • Redact selected words, every match of a search, or an area you draw.
  • See what will go before you apply it.
  • Check it yourself: in the saved file, the redacted words are not there to select, search or copy.

Marked. The paragraph is shaded; nothing is removed yet.

Applied. The words are gone from the file, not just covered.

Forms and signatures

Fill it in. Sign it. Send it.

Papayra finds the fields in a form, or lets you add your own. Type into them, tick the boxes, and place your signature, typed or drawn, exactly where it belongs.

  • Text fields, check boxes and signature fields.
  • Typed or drawn signatures; on iPhone and iPad, draw with a finger or Apple Pencil.
  • Signatures are placed on the page and saved with the document.

Pages

Put the pages in order.

Merge documents, split one apart, or pull out the pages you need. Insert, delete, duplicate, rotate and reorder pages in the page sidebar.

  • Combine PDFs into one document.
  • Split a document, or extract a range of pages.
  • Reorder pages in the sidebar; turn a sideways scan the right way up.

For the filing

Bates numbers, headers and PDF/A.

Stamp every page with a Bates number, add page numbers, headers, footers and watermarks, and export to PDF/A, the archival format courts and records offices ask for.

  • Bates numbering with your own prefix.
  • Page numbers, headers and footers.
  • PDF/A export for court filing and long-term archives.
