Pdf ToolsCreate a PDF on your phone: write, format and export
The Pdf Tools editor works like a word processor: bold, lists, headings, tables, links and images from your gallery or camera. When you are done, export as PDF or send it straight to a printer.
It is a quick way to put together a quote, a letter, a receipt or a report without a computer. To turn photos into a PDF, use Image to PDF: insert the images into the document and export.
