Pagelier – Manual
Every feature of Pagelier, explained with step-by-step guides and screenshots from the app: from opening and reading through the AI assistant, comments and editing to forms, redaction, digital signatures, converting and checking.
Pagelier's interface is in German. This manual names every button and menu in German, as you see it on screen, and gives the English meaning in brackets the first time it appears – for example Speichern (Save). The assistant itself answers in any language you choose.
