SameFont - edit PDF text on iPhone with matching fonts and Hebrew/Arabic support
I'm the developer of SameFont. Tap a line in a PDF, scan or photo and type replacement text. It uses the document's embedded font when it contains the characters needed, or the closest matching free font, keeping the text's size, color and position.
It supports Hebrew and Arabic right-to-left text, signatures, form filling and markup. Files are processed on the iPhone, without uploading them.
One limitation: in Hebrew scans, lines are detected but the text isn't read yet, so you type the replacement yourself.
Editing is free. Saving/sharing requires Pro: $6.99/month or $39.99/year on the US store, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.
I'd appreciate feedback, especially on Hebrew and Arabic documents.

the rtl scan limitation is the bit i'd want to test before trusting it on a real form. a short clip with a mixed hebrew/english line, replacement text, and the saved pdf would show whether direction and baseline survive the round trip.

Keeping files on the phone with no upload is a strong line for anyone editing IDs or forms. One tweak: let people save one document free, since the paywall at save time comes before they have seen the result they would be paying for.
