CLUSTER CONVERTING-DOCUMENTS-EDITING · 15 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2022-10-27
Mobile PDF editors and converters
This cluster comprises mobile apps for viewing, annotating, editing, merging, splitting, and converting PDFs, often including image-to-PDF and scanning functions. Entries appeared sporadically from 2011 through mid-2026, with a slight concentration in October 2022 (three entries) but otherwise no consistent pattern over more than a decade. Traction leaders, based on activity signal, are OpenDocument Reader, GoodReader PDF Editor & Viewer, and PDF Converter & Image Scanner, though all currently show zero stars.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 15 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
