The ability to transform image files, specifically those captured or stored on Apple’s mobile operating system, into a Portable Document Format (PDF) is a common requirement. This process allows users to consolidate one or more images into a single, easily shareable and universally accessible document. For instance, a collection of receipts photographed using an iPhone can be compiled into a single PDF for expense reporting.
This functionality offers numerous advantages, including simplified document management, reduced file sizes (depending on compression), and enhanced compatibility across different platforms and devices. Historically, achieving this required third-party applications. However, recent operating system updates have integrated this capability directly into the iOS ecosystem, streamlining the workflow and improving user experience.
