PDF tools to compress, merge, split, edit, and extract

Work with contracts, statements, forms, and reports on your own device. The PDF collection covers page management, exact-size compression, image conversion, text extraction, and document creation without making a remote upload part of the workflow.

Choose the narrowest tool for the job. Merge combines files, Split extracts selected pages, Delete removes unwanted pages, and Reorder changes their sequence. Compression pages target common upload ceilings and disclose when reaching a very small size changes selectable text or visual quality.

If a receiver rejects a PDF, identify whether the failing condition is bytes, pages, format or an encrypted or damaged file. A size compressor cannot fix a page-count rule; splitting is useful only if separate attachments are accepted. Confirm that the file you finally attach is the new download, then compare its exact bytes with the receiver's cap. Binary KB and MB displays can differ from decimal byte limits.

For page work, write down the source page numbers before changing anything. A cover page counts as page one in most PDF tools even when the printed document calls the next page page one. After splitting or deleting, compare the output page count and the first and last page with the source. After merging, inspect the boundaries between documents so an appendix or signature page has not shifted unexpectedly.

Compression can preserve the source structure or rebuild pages as images. The latter can remove selectable text, form fields, links, accessibility tags and the validity of a digital signature. A green size result does not check small print or stamps. Open the saved file and compare the least readable required detail with the original. Keep the source PDF when it must remain editable, searchable or verifiable.

Use text extraction when you need words for search or an AI assistant, and page images when drawings or layout carry meaning. Native extraction cannot read letters that exist only in a scan without OCR. A page image does not retain a searchable text layer. For mixed documents, preserve page numbers and inspect tables, multi-column reading order and charts before treating either representation as complete.
