PDFBook organizes PDFs into a visual library. Read books, manga, papers, and scanned documents with page-flip or vertical reading modes. Enable reading-position memory to resume where you left off.
| For your next… | Make it yours |
|---|---|
| Book or manga | Page-flip or vertical scroll, single pages or two-page spreads, and right-to-left reading. |
| Paper or reference | Text search, bookmarks, the PDF's own table of contents, and an always-on-top Floating Reader. |
| Growing collection | Covers, folders, tags, ratings, favorites, reading status, and notes for each book. Re-scan watched folders to import new files. |
| PDF task | Create PDFs from JPG/PNG images, convert supported documents and e-books, and extract embedded images. |

First launch and Microsoft Store availability
Windows standalone builds are unsigned. macOS builds are not Developer ID signed or notarized. The installation guide explains first-launch checks.
Microsoft Store distribution is being prepared. For Windows installation, choose Setup or Portable.
PDF reading, library storage, PDF creation, and conversion run on your computer. No account is needed to read. If you enable cloud AI, messages, chat context, and requested document text or page images are sent to the provider you configured. A local Ollama model keeps those AI requests on your machine.
