You work on a Mac at home, a Windows laptop at the office, and an iPad on the train. Your PDF tool should work the same on all three. Browser-based tools do.
Here's the setup that just works.
Bookmark Flint tools in every browser
On each device, bookmark merge, sign, compress, edit, redact. If you use the same browser across devices (Chrome, Edge, Safari), bookmark sync handles this automatically.
One setup, multi-device benefit. The tools live in the browser, not on the device.
Cloud-synced storage as the file layer
iCloud, Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive — pick one and sync your `/Inbox/PDFs`, `/Working`, and `/Archive` folders across devices. Files appear everywhere; processing happens wherever you are.
For Apple-only setups, iCloud is smoothest. For cross-platform, Drive or Dropbox are best.
Sign on the device with the best screen
Signing works on every device but feels best on the one with the best screen and pointer. Many users sign on iPad with Apple Pencil for the most authentic stroke; others prefer the Mac with a saved signature.
Flint's signing works identically on all. Use what suits the moment.
Don't install device-specific PDF apps
The point of multi-device is to not have to relearn tools per device. If you install Acrobat on the Mac and a different PDF app on the iPad, you're maintaining two workflows.
One browser-based toolkit. One workflow. One set of habits.
FAQ
Does Flint work the same on mobile?
Yes, with slight UX adaptations for touch input. The core processing capabilities are identical.
What about offline scenarios?
Flint processes files locally in the browser once loaded. For first load, you need a connection; for subsequent work on already-loaded files, you don't.
Can I sign on a phone with my finger?
Yes — touch signing on mobile works. The signature is less precise than mouse or stylus, but legally valid for most simple electronic signature contexts.
What about device-specific shortcuts?
Mac uses Cmd, Windows uses Ctrl, but the patterns are otherwise consistent. Web-based tools handle the platform difference automatically.
Pick the device that fits the moment; the tools follow you. Try Flint on whichever device you have to hand and feel the consistency.
