# Save PDF documents on iOS

Edited or newly created PDFs can be saved to a device’s local storage, custom data provider, a remote server, and more. The save operation is performed entirely in the client (no server is required).

## Key capabilities

- **Local storage or remote URL** — Save PDF files to any location

- **Incremental save** — Improve performance when saving large PDFs

- **Auto save** — Automatically save edits to the file

- **Client side** — Save PDFs directly in the app (no server needed)

- **Extendable** — Add annotation, signing, editing, forms, and more
