Frequently asked questions
Getting started
What is PDFMamba?
A calm PDF reader and study tool for Windows, Android and the web. Read, highlight, take notes, scan documents and organise PDFs in one place.
Do I need an account?

Which devices are supported?
Windows 10/11 (Microsoft Store), Android phones and tablets, and any modern web browser at pdfmamba.com/app.
Reading & sync
Does PDFMamba remember where I stopped?
Yes. The page you were reading in each PDF is saved to your account and the document reopens on that page — on any device where you are signed in.
What gets synced?
Highlights, notes, drawings, bookmarks and your last-read page. The PDF files themselves stay on your device.
Does it work offline?
Yes. After opening the app once while online, you can read and annotate offline; changes sync when you reconnect.
How many files can I open at once?
Up to 10 PDFs in tabs, each keeping its own page and zoom.
Scanning & tools
Can I scan documents with my phone?
Yes. Scan studio captures pages, cleans them up with filters, recognises text on your device and builds a searchable PDF. Your first scan is free.
Is there an ID card scanner?
Yes — for Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence, voter ID, passport and more, with front and back on one print-ready A4 page.
Can I merge, split, compress or lock PDFs?
Yes, from Merge & split and the PDF tools on Home. Everything runs on your device.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Scanning, text recognition and PDF tools all work on your device. Only annotations and reading positions sync to your account.
