The Docutain SDK for Capacitor comes with the ability to create searchable PDF documents either from a scanned document with Docutain's Scanner SDK or imported file.

Initialization

Initialize the Docutain Capacitor SDK as described here.

Create a PDF

import { DocutainSDK, PDFPageFormat } from '@docutain/capacitor-plugin-docutain-sdk'

//...
//scan or import file
//...

try{    
    var destinationUri = (await Filesystem.getUri({ path: "sample.pdf", directory:Directory.Data })).uri;
    const pdfUri = (await DocutainSDK.writePDF({
        fileUri: destinationUri,
        overWrite: true,
        pageFormat: PDFPageFormat.A4
    })).fileUri 
} catch (error) {
    console.error(error);
}
