Quilt for Mac turns multi-page screen content into searchable PDFs
Quilt is a Mac application that captures extensive, multi-page on-screen content and compiles it into a single, searchable PDF. According to the developer, it’s aimed at users who want to archive material from digital books, presentations, or long webpages without taking screenshots page by page.
The app can structure captured content and output it as a searchable PDF, which makes the resulting files easier to index and search. That makes Quilt useful for research, study, or simply preserving long-form visual content.
- Capture multi-page content from ebooks, slides, and websites
- Automatically stitch pages into a single PDF
- Produce searchable PDFs for easier retrieval and indexing
Use cases include archiving lecture slides, saving textbook excerpts for offline review, and preserving long web articles that don’t export cleanly. The developer positions Quilt as a time-saver for anyone who would otherwise capture content manually, one screen at a time.
