Organize your documents digitally. Just scan and tag them with the PDF Archiver.

THE FEATURES

• Intelligent Textrecognition
• Text processing only on your iPhone/iPad (no cloud involved)
• Synchronisation via iCloud Drive


THE WORKFLOW

• Scan all incoming documents with PDF Archiver.
• Put the original paper documents in a folder, sorted by year. Don't care about bills/insurance papers etc. Just leave all of them in a box.
• PDF Archiver analysis the document locally and suggests tags and the document date.
• Save your documents to your archive folder in iCloud Drive.
• You can view these documents at any time from within PDF Archiver or in iCloud Drive.


THE CONCEPT

PDF Archiver saves your documents by the following naming convention:

2017-01-02--blue-jeans__bill_clothes.pdf
2018-04-30--launch-in-berlin__work_travel.pdf

This structure is independent from your OS and filesystem and makes it very easy to search files ...
• ... by tag via a searchterm like: "_tagname", starting with _
• ... by description via a searchterm like: "-descriptionword", starting with "-"
• ... by tag or description via a searchterm like: "searchword", starting with the term


SUB­SCRIP­TI­ON

This App re­spects your pri­va­cy and avo­ids e.g. ad­ver­ti­sing plat­forms. To help the fur­ther de­ve­lop­ment of this app, I use a sub­scrip­ti­on mo­del.

Be­fo­re purcha­sing for PDF Ar­chi­ver, you can use it wi­t­hin a 2-week free tri­al pe­ri­od! Af­ter­wards, you have two op­ti­ons to con­ti­nue using the app:
• $1.99 USD per month
• $7.49 USD per year
The pri­ces may vary from coun­try to coun­try. Pay­ment will be char­ged to your iTunes ac­count. Your ac­count will be char­ged for re­ne­wal 24 hours pri­or to the end of the cur­rent sub­scrip­ti­on. Auto-re­ne­wal may be tur­ned off at any time by go­ing to your set­tings in the iTunes Store af­ter purcha­se.
