Installing it

Manila Paper is not signed with a paid Apple or Microsoft certificate yet, so the first time you open it your computer asks you to confirm. You only do this once.

On a Mac

Open the file you downloaded and drag Manila Paper into Applications.
Open Manila Paper. If macOS says it can't check the developer, close the message.
Go to System Settings, then Privacy & Security. Click Open Anyway and enter your Mac's password if it asks.
Open Manila Paper again.

On Windows

Open the file you downloaded.
If you see "Windows protected your PC", click More info, then Run anyway.
Follow the installer, then open Manila Paper.

Your files stay on your computer. The app goes online only to check your account. OCR on an Intel Mac needs Tesseract installed first. The full guide is on VA Starter Hub.

Made by Next Matter Pro. Manila Paper is built on an open-source PDF project released under the MIT license, credited inside the app. Found a bug? Email us.
