DocMate guides
Practical document workflows for iPhone and iPad
Short, checkable guides for restoring scans, OCR, search, comparison, review, signing, permanent redaction and document organization. Each guide includes a limitation to verify before you share a file.

See the three opt-in controls in DocMate 1.1, an actual settings screenshot, practical test steps and iOS limits. We never promise a universal screenshot block.
Explore on-screen privacy options → A shadow can make a scan difficult to read. DocMate offers Remove Shadow and Smart Clean so you can inspect a cleaner version while keeping the original.
Read guide → A scanned page is an image until text recognition gives you a text layer. Searchable export is useful when the recipient needs to find words in a PDF.
Read guide → Use OCR to find a passage in a scanned document, then read it in context.
Read guide → Compare helps you inspect two documents before accepting a revision.
Read guide → Version history gives a revision a relationship to its original. Use that relationship when you inspect changes.
Read guide → A visible black mark is not enough. DocMate creates a new permanently redacted copy through its redaction publication workflow.
Read guide → Sign the intended document version and preserve a clear path back to the original.
Read guide → Use the document surfaces according to the task: documents, folder grouping, workspace context and activity history.
Read guide → The iPad layout gives you more room to read and review while keeping document context visible.
Read guide → DocMate is positioned around a private document workflow. Privacy statements must describe the actual processing path rather than promise that nothing can ever leave the device.

Use fictional or non-sensitive documents while learning a workflow, then verify the result before sharing.
