Capture a PDF
You can save any PDF on your phone to Moonjar. The text inside is extracted and indexed, so you can search for what’s in the file rather than just its name.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”- Moonjar app installed and signed in.
- The PDF must be on your phone — in Files, on iCloud Drive, or in any cloud-storage app that exposes a file picker.
From the Capture tab
Section titled “From the Capture tab”- Open Moonjar and tap the Capture tab.
- Tap File in the mode selector.
- Pick the PDF using the system file picker.
- (Optional) Add a title.
- Tap Save.
From the share sheet
Section titled “From the share sheet”- Open the PDF in Files (or another app that supports sharing documents).
- Tap Share.
- Pick Moonjar.
What happens after
Section titled “What happens after”Moonjar uploads the PDF (max 20 MB per file), extracts the text, classifies the document into one of 15 document types, pulls out the relevant fields, and files it under Documents. The original PDF is kept on the document and rendered inline when you open the document detail view.
Troubleshooting
Section titled “Troubleshooting”“Document with this filename already exists.” Moonjar uses filenames as a duplicate key for uploads. If you genuinely want a second copy, rename the file before uploading or remove the existing document.
File over 20 MB. Split the PDF, or send the email containing it through Capture by email — that path extracts the PDF text and keeps the original as an attachment without the 20 MB inline cap.
