What Can You Do With PDF Tools?
PDF tools make it easier to manage documents without installing desktop software. Whether you are working with contracts, school files, scans, forms, or reports, the right tool can save time and prevent a lot of annoying rework.
This guide walks through the most useful PDF tasks, explains why each one matters, and points you to the right tool for the job.
Compress PDFs
Compression reduces file size so PDFs are easier to email, upload, and store. It is especially useful for scanned documents and image-heavy files.
- Upload the PDF
- Run compression
- Download the smaller file
Merge PDF Files
Merging combines multiple documents into one file. This is ideal for scanned packets, reports, exhibits, and grouped records.
- Upload multiple PDFs
- Arrange them in order
- Merge and download
Split or Extract Pages
Splitting helps you save only the pages you need, remove unnecessary material, or break large PDFs into smaller sections.
- Upload the PDF
- Select pages or ranges
- Create the new file
Convert PDFs and Office Files
Conversion tools help you move between fixed-layout PDFs and editable formats such as Word, or export document pages as image files.
Edit and Prepare PDF Files
Some PDFs need quick text updates, page cleanup, or prep work before signing, printing, or sharing.
Tips for Choosing the Right PDF Tool
- Use compression when size is the problem
- Use splitting when the file is too long or has irrelevant pages
- Use merging when several related files belong together
- Use conversion when you need a different format
- Use editing or prep tools before printing or sharing
