ClearPDF V5.2.1 — Liquid Glass in What's New (2.2.1)

ClearPDF V5.2.1 — Liquid Glass in What's New (2.2.1)

This maintenance release adds Liquid Glass customization to the What's New screen. The V5.2 screen had missed a feature that was already available in Settings → Liquid Glass.

What's new

• Customize Liquid Glass: tune blur, refraction, tint, and more, or choose a preset. The customization controls were contributed in PR #61.

Download

Choose the APK that matches your device. The arm64-v8a APK is recommended for most current Android phones and tablets; the universal APK works across supported ABIs and is larger.

ClearPDF processes documents on your device. See PRIVACY.md for network details.

ClearPDF V5.2 — PDF encryption, book mode, Liquid Glass, and reliability (2.2.0)

ClearPDF V5.2 — PDF encryption, book mode, Liquid Glass, and reliability (2.2.0)

ClearPDF V5.2 adds stronger PDF protection and more ways to read and save documents. This release also fixes several issues reported by users of V5.1.

What's new

• Customize Liquid Glass: tune blur, refraction, tint, and more, or choose a preset in Settings → Liquid Glass. (PR #61)
• AES-256 PDF encryption: protect a PDF with AES-256 and set an owner password separately from the password used to open it.
• Book mode and trimmed margins: read one page at a time, or trim wide page margins. Both options are in Settings → Appearance.
• Save a copy: save a PDF opened from another app to a folder you choose, even when you have not edited it.
• Working PDF links: follow links to another page, or open web and email links in their apps.

Issues fixed

• Fixed crashes from glass controls on Android 9 and 10. (#80)
• Fixed saving after organizing, merging, or extracting pages from a PDF. (#89)
• Dragging a placed text annotation no longer pans the page. (#88)
• Fast pinch zoom no longer snaps back to the original size. (#93)
• Reduced memory use when opening very large PDFs.
• Fixed PDF links that did not respond to taps. (#83)

The new reading, saving, and navigation options address requests for page-margin trimming, horizontal book-style reading, and saving PDFs opened from other apps. (#85, #84, #76)

ClearPDF V5.1 — Word Editor, Dark Reading That Keeps Photos, Arabic, Fill Forms On The Page (2.1.1)

ClearPDF V5.1 (app version 2.1.1)

Sorry about V5. The V5 APKs were built before a few pull requests had been cleanly merged, so some fixes I mentioned weren't in them, for example files opening in their own window. V5.1 is built from main with everything merged. The V5 APKs stay available below.

ClearPDF is a free, open-source PDF editor and reader for Android. You can edit the text already in a PDF, fill and sign forms, annotate, edit Word (DOCX) documents and Excel (XLSX) spreadsheets, view PowerPoint files, and scan documents. Everything runs on your device, with a Liquid Glass interface you can tune yourself.

⬇️ Download

APK	Recommended for
arm64-v8a	Most Android phones and tablets (pick this if unsure)
armeabi-v7a	Older 32-bit ARM devices
universal	Works on everything; larger download
x86 · x86_64	Emulators and x86 devices

Updating? Install it over V4 or V5. It's signed with the same key, so your files, bookmarks and settings stay.

Install via Obtainium: open Obtainium → Add App → paste https://github.com/Chethan616/ClearPDF. It tracks this repo and prompts you to update straight from GitHub.

---

🔄 Updated build (still 2.1.1)

The APKs below were replaced with a newer build of 2.1.1 that adds:

📄 Word documents open in their own editor (#73)

• A .docx now opens as real pages, like on a desktop: true margins, fitted to your screen, Word's own page breaks, pinch to zoom, a page counter with Go to page, and it reopens at the page you were reading.
• Tap the pencil to edit any paragraph or table cell in place, with a LibreOffice-style bar (paragraph style, font, size) and tools for bold, italic, underline, colour, highlight, alignment, bullets, numbering and indents.
• Save writes back into the same .docx without touching the parts you didn't edit. Print and Open as PDF use the Office engine (LibreOffice) when it's installed.

🌙 Dark reading that keeps photos (#74)

• Dark pages keep blue headings blue, and photographs stay as they were printed in PDFs, slides and Word files. Scans and diagrams still turn dark with the page.
• Settings → Dark pages in dark mode opens documents with dark pages whenever the app is dark.
• The Word and spreadsheet viewers now take their look from the page, not the app theme, so every button, menu and search bar stays readable.

📊 Spreadsheets as Excel shows them (#71)

• Pictures and logos appear, text fits its cells like in Excel, and sheets are white paper with a dark switch.

🌍 Arabic and complete translations (#72)

• ClearPDF now comes in Arabic, and Arabic text copies and searches in the right order.
• Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Russian now translate every screen.

📝 Fill Form tool and printing

• The Fill Form tool now opens the form ready to fill right on the page.
• Print PDFs from the Share dialog, exactly as they are.

---

✨ What's new in V5.1

📝 Fill PDF forms right on the page

• Form fields are now drawn with Liquid Glass controls: frosted text fields, glossy checkboxes and radio buttons, a dropdown with a glass menu, and list boxes that scroll and highlight the chosen item.
• Tap any field to fill it where it's printed. Text uses the form's own size, alignment and colour. A bar above the keyboard moves to the previous or next field.
• Values are saved into the form itself, and they work with undo, Save and Share. Dark reader mode is supported too. (#68)

✏️ Edit only what you select

• Select some words and tap Edit text. Only those words change, in the document's own font, weight and style, and the rest of the line moves to fit.
• The preview is the real edited page, so what you see is what gets saved.

🔍 Sharp text at any zoom (#29)

• When you zoom in, ClearPDF re-renders the visible part of the page at your screen's resolution, so text and fine diagrams stay crisp. This applies to PDFs, Word and PowerPoint files.

🪟 Its own window (#29)

• Files opened from WhatsApp, a file manager or another app now open in their own ClearPDF window. They no longer run inside the other app, so you can switch between the two. Closing the document takes you back.

📊 PowerPoint fixes (#29)

• Slide titles that sit near the top of a slide are no longer cut off. Titles also use the template's own style, such as ALL CAPS, matching PowerPoint.
• The built-in renderer now draws template backgrounds and colours, and inherits text alignment from the slide master.

🙏 Thanks

Thanks to @Zokii0 for the detailed reports and sample files, and to @underwaterfall for the form-editing idea.

ClearPDF V5 — Free Android PDF Editor: Edit PDF Text In Place, Liquid Glass Customization (2.1.0)

ClearPDF V5 (app version 2.1.0)

ClearPDF is a free, open-source PDF editor and reader for Android. You can edit the text already in a PDF, annotate and sign, fill forms, edit Excel (XLSX) spreadsheets, view Word and PowerPoint files, and scan documents. It runs on Android 6.0+ with a Liquid Glass interface you can tune yourself.

V5 is the biggest update since 2.0. You can now edit a PDF's own text in place, and you can customise the Liquid Glass look in detail. You can share documents as PDF, images or text, use dark mode for documents, and work with Hindi and Indic spreadsheets. The app also has a smoother, springier feel throughout.

⬇️ Download

APK	Recommended for
arm64-v8a	Most Android phones and tablets (pick this if unsure)

universal	Works on everything; larger download
x86 · x86_64	Emulators and x86 devices

Updating from V4? Install it over your current app. V5 is signed with the same key, so your recents, bookmarks and settings stay. A short What's new screen appears once, and tips point out the new features the first time you reach them.

✨ What's new in V5

✏️ Edit PDF text in place (#48)

• Tap a line with the Text tool, or long-press a word and choose Edit text, and rewrite it where it sits.
• The new text uses the PDF's original font where possible. Otherwise ClearPDF picks the closest match, so the page still looks the same.

🧊 Liquid Glass, your way (#53)

• A new Settings → Liquid Glass page lets you adjust blur, refraction height and amount, depth, chromatic aberration, vibrancy, brightness, tint, highlight and corner roundness.
• Four presets get you started: Default, Readable, Crystal and Performance. You can also pick one during onboarding.
• Every glass surface follows your settings, including buttons, menus, dialogs and the long-press menu.

📤 Share in more formats (#54)

• Share or export a document as a PDF, as page images (PNG) or as plain text, with your annotations and edits included.

🌙 Dark mode for documents (#26)

• An optional dark page appearance for comfortable reading at night.
• Signatures and ink change colour to stay visible in dark reading mode, and the reader controls adjust their contrast to match.

📊 Spreadsheets (XLSX)

• Hindi, Devanagari and other Indic scripts display, edit and save correctly. (#28)
• Copy selected cells to the clipboard. (#25)
• Refreshed editor controls, including a Liquid Glass colour palette.

📖 A better PDF reader

• Page bookmarks that persist between sessions.
• Auto-scroll with an adjustable speed.
• One-handed zoom controls.
• Lasso selection to pick up several annotations at once.
• A magnifying loupe while you select text.
• PDFs reopen where you left off when you open them from Recents. (#16)
• Signatures can now be dragged from one page to another.
• PDFs open faster: the first page appears with the document instead of after a dark pause.

🔒 Privacy controls (#29)

• Turn off recent files and reading history, and choose whether ClearPDF keeps local copies of documents.

🌍 Languages

• Russian translation. (#24)
• Italian translation, contributed by @DZAladan. (#52)

💫 Look and feel

• iOS-style springy buttons and menus: glass swells under your finger, gives one soft jiggle on release, and menus unfold from where you tapped.
• Haptic feedback on every button, one tick per tap, with an on/off switch in Settings → Personalization.
• Settings is redesigned as a clean index with a separate page for each topic.
• Shadows are gone everywhere, for crisper glass and smoother scrolling.
• A What's new screen after each update, plus first-use tips for the new features.

🐞 Fixes

• Fixed a black screen when returning to the app from the background. (#31)
• Quick Settings and the taskbar no longer switch to the large-screen layout while ClearPDF is open (Pixel 10 Pro XL). ClearPDF now follows Android's display mode and power policy. (#30)
• Fixed a crash when opening images (PNG, JPG and others).
• Resized text boxes now stay anchored where you put them, and an exact size slider has been added.
• Long-pressing Back now acts when you release your finger, not in the middle of the press.

🙏 Thank you

Thanks to everyone whose reports and ideas shaped this release: @enemi38, @GameMasterDTK, @bivashk, @kamik-hub, @sourbh443, @underwaterfall, @weichoon2 and @Zokii0. Special thanks to @DZAladan for the Italian translation.

Notes

• What can be edited: PDF text can be edited in place on text-based PDFs. Scanned pages are images, so use OCR to copy their text. XLSX spreadsheets can be edited and saved. Word (DOC/DOCX) and PowerPoint (PPT/PPTX) files open for viewing and annotation, and annotated copies can be exported as PDF.
• Office rendering: results can vary by file. The optional LibreOffice-based engine (Settings → Office engine) can improve rendering for supported Office files.
• Privacy and network: documents are processed on your device, and ClearPDF does not upload them. The FOSS build uses the network only for the optional Office engine download and for the web-address-to-PDF feature you start yourself. Scanning and some image features use Google Play services. See PRIVACY.md.
• Build: these are the FOSS sideload builds, made from main at 456c769 on October 10, 2026. Full source and build instructions are in the README.

ClearPDF v1.1.0 — Full PDF Editor Overhaul

ClearPDF v1.1.0 — Full PDF Editor Overhaul

ClearPDF grows from a viewer into a real, offline-first PDF editor. Everything runs
on-device — no cloud, no accounts. (On-device Google ML Kit powers the scanner and text
selection only.)

✨ Highlights

Viewer & gestures

• Rewritten zoom & pan — smooth Adobe-style focal-point pinch-zoom, correct
  pan bounds, and snappy double-tap. Annotations and text selection now stay perfectly
  aligned at any zoom level.
• Fixed page rendering crashes/corruption caused by concurrent page rendering.

Editing tools

• Reworked draw tools — pressure-smooth pen strokes, a proper freehand
  highlighter, a stroke-size selector (S/M/L/XL), and an eraser that removes
  any single mark.
• Add Image — drop a photo onto any page, then drag to move and drag the corner
  to resize. It's baked into the saved PDF at full quality.
• Annotations export cleanly via Save Edits.

Organize pages

• Drag-and-drop reordering (no more up/down arrows).
• Multi-select: tap to select several pages, then drag the whole group at once.
• Floating drag preview, insertion indicator, edge auto-scroll, plus bulk
  rotate / delete / select-all.

New tools

• Images → PDF — combine photos into a PDF (fit-to-A4 or original size).
• Extract Text — pull selectable text out of a PDF to copy or share.

Engine quality

• Lossless merge / split / extract / organize powered by PdfBox-Android — your
  text and vectors are preserved instead of being flattened to blurry images, so output
  files stay small and sharp.

📦 Install

Download ClearPDF-v1.1.0.apk below and install on Android (you may need to allow
installs from your browser/file manager). minSdk 23 (Android 6.0+).
