CLUSTER MOBILE-PDF-DOCUMENTS · 59 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-09-20
Mobile PDF editor and scanner apps
This cluster comprises mobile apps for PDF document management, covering editing, scanning, signing, annotation, conversion, and form-filling features. Entries in the pre-index period span from August 2012 to July 2026, with mostly single monthly entries until early 2025, after which months with two or more entries become common, including four in November 2025. The traction leaders are PDF Gear - PDF Editor & Reader, PDF Max - Edit, Sign PDFs, and PDF Editor:PDF Maker & Reader, each with 0 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.
