Editorial note: FineReader PDF Mobile for Android, Business Card Reader for Android, and Text Grabber for Android & iOS have been discontinued since September 2023. You can learn more about that here.
Apple traditionally releases a major update for iPhones and iPads annually, enabling Apple users to get access to new features. Read about the latest FineReader PDF update for iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and other improvements in ABBYY mobile apps.
The Drag and Drop feature was first made available to users as part of the iOS 11 update and only for the iPad. FineReader PDF (previously FineScanner) supports Drag and Drop on the iPad–you can learn more about it here. Now, four years later, this feature has become available for the iPhone and therefore in FineReader PDF, as well.
Easily import pictures or PDFs to FineReader PDF, for example, from the Photos or Files app, just by dragging them into FineReader PDF. Exporting documents from FineReader PDF works with Drag and Drop too.
Here are the steps for drag-and-drop activities on an iPhone:
To export a recognized file or scan, do the following:
You can also drag-and-drop scans as an image from FineReader PDF, but only if they weren’t recognized. Documents processed with optical character recognition (OCR) can be exported using Drag and Drop in the format that was chosen for recognition.

Using FineReader PDF on an iPad has become easier since we added shortcuts for an external iPad keyboard.
If you have already updated to iOS 15, update FineReader PDF as well to access the latest features. Business Card Reader and TextGrabber are ready for iOS 15, working stably and smoothly.
We are looking forward to your feedback on the App Store page.
