[email protected]Getting Started
How do I give ContactPDF access to my contacts?
Open Settings > Privacy & Security > Contacts and enable ContactPDF. The app will also prompt you on first launch with an explanation before requesting access.
Why does the app show no contacts or a blank list?
Contacts permission is likely denied. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Contacts and make sure ContactPDF is enabled. If you previously denied access, you’ll need to re-enable it there, the app cannot prompt a second time once permission is denied.
What devices and operating system versions are supported?
ContactPDF requires iPhone or iPad running iOS 26 or later. It is also available on Mac (macOS 26 or later) via the same universal App Store purchase, no separate download needed.
Exporting
How do I choose which contacts to include?
On the main contact list, tap contacts to select them individually. Use the filter button to filter by group, company, or label. When you’re ready, tap Generate PDF.
Can I choose which fields appear in my PDF?
Yes. Tap the filter/settings icon before generating to toggle individual fields on or off: phone, email, address, organization, job title, birthday, note, and photo.
What page sizes are available?
US Letter (8.5" × 11") and A4 (210mm × 297mm). You can set your preferred default in Settings, or change it before each export.
How do I print directly from the app?
On the PDF preview screen, tap the Share button and choose Print, or tap the Print button in the toolbar. ContactPDF supports AirPrint with any compatible printer.
Can I import contacts from a vCard (.vcf) file?
Yes. Tap the import button on the contact list to open a .vcf file from Files app. Imported contacts are used only for that PDF session, they are never added to your system Contacts app.
