How to use PDF and image tools offline

Install the app and download the toolkit once to merge, compress, convert and OCR files on a plane, on a train or on a bad connection.

Quick answer

Install the app from the download icon, then open Work offline and download the packages you need. After that the tools run without a connection.

Set it up once

  1. Select the download icon in the header and follow the install steps for your device.
  2. Open Work offline.
  3. Download the app, plus the PDF engine, and the OCR engine if you use text recognition.
  4. Switch off Wi-Fi and open a tool to confirm it works.

Good to know

  • Only the app is stored. Your documents never are.
  • Browsers can clear stored files when space is low. The Offline page shows what is ready.
  • Updates are offered as a refresh prompt. Nothing reloads while you are working.

Frequently asked questions
