How to Organize PDF Extractions as Projects on iPhone

TL;DR

PDFExtract organizes documents as projects you can revisit later, keeping the original PDF, extracted images, and Markdown results together — so ongoing work like a research review stays in one place.

Steps

  1. Import and extract from a PDF in PDFExtract.
  2. It’s kept as a project with the original, images, and Markdown.
  3. Revisit the project later to re-preview or re-export.
  4. Keep a project per document to stay organized.

Why it works this way

Extraction is rarely one-and-done — you come back to re-export, grab another figure, or continue a review. Treating each document as a project keeps the source PDF and everything you pulled from it together, so a multi-document task like a literature review stays organized instead of scattered across your Files app.
