Common questions

Where is the EinPDF folder in iCloud Drive?

Open the Files app ▸ iCloud Drive ▸ EinPDF. It appears after the app has been opened once with iCloud Drive turned on (Settings ▸ your name ▸ iCloud ▸ Drive). If files stay on “Waiting to upload”, restart the iPhone.

How do I use Reader mode?

Open a PDF, tap ⋯ ▸ Reader Mode. Tap the right or left edge of the screen to turn the page, the middle to show the controls. Aa changes the type, theme and margins.

Reader mode shows text in the wrong order or misses a figure.

Reader mode is built for scientific papers. Pictures without a caption, boxed pseudo-code and unusual layouts may not reflow well; use the normal PDF view for those. Send the file’s title and page number and I will look at it.

Is my signature safe?

A drawn signature is kept only on your device. It leaves the device only when you place it in a PDF and share that PDF.

Two devices changed the same file.

EinPDF asks you whether to keep both versions, use the other device’s, or keep yours. Nothing is overwritten without a choice.
