About This Feature
Overview
Create New PDF in WPS for iOS is a built-in PDF creation and conversion feature in WPS Office. It helps you create a blank PDF quickly or turn documents, images, and scanned content into PDF files for continued work on mobile.
Core capabilities include:
- Create a blank or note PDF: set page size, orientation, color, and page count before creating a new file.
- Convert documents to PDF: choose a file from cloud documents or local folders and export it as PDF.
- Convert images to PDF: import images from Photos, the camera, or document folders and save them as a PDF.
- Convert scanned content to PDF: use the camera or photo library, then crop, filter, and adjust content before generating a PDF.
This feature is useful for mobile note-taking, file archiving, image-based handouts, and turning paper materials into digital files.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports creating a blank PDF on iOS and converting documents, images, and scanned content into PDF in one mobile workflow. | Microsoft officially highlights exporting existing Office documents as PDF, mainly for document-to-PDF output. | Google Docs officially focuses on turning PDFs into editable Docs and collaborating on them online. | Notion officially supports exporting pages or databases as PDF, mainly for sharing and archiving content. | Adobe Acrobat officially supports creating PDFs from Office files, images, scans, and web pages. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: one mobile entry covers blank PDF creation, document to PDF, image to PDF, and scan to PDF. Distinct: better suited to completing PDF creation directly on iPhone or iPad. | Compared with WPS: the official page emphasizes exporting existing Office content and does not highlight a blank PDF creation entry in the same way. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow centers on converting PDFs into editable Docs rather than creating a new PDF from multiple mobile sources. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow centers on exporting existing Notion content to PDF, not on image or scan based PDF creation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe covers more source types overall, while its official workflow is presented around Acrobat-specific PDF creation tools. |
| Official Source | — | Export Word document as PDF | Edit PDFs in Google Docs | Export your content | How to create a PDF |
Overall Conclusion: If you want to create a PDF directly on iOS or quickly turn documents, images, and scanned pages into PDF files on your phone, WPS provides a more concentrated mobile entry. If your work is centered on desktop document export, online collaboration, or broader Acrobat workflows, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
