PDF & Documents

PDF tools handle the document jobs that arrive after a file is finished: converting a Word draft, merging chapters, splitting a range, rotating a scan, or changing the format for an e-reader. Most work in the browser.

PDF is a delivery format, not an editing format. Keep the source file when you can, make a copy before destructive changes, and check the page count, order, and orientation after every operation.

Common questions

Is PDF better than Word?

For sending a finished document, PDF is usually better because the layout is fixed and the recipient does not need the same fonts. For editing, Word or another source format is better. Keep the source and export a PDF for delivery rather than editing the PDF itself.

Can I edit text inside a PDF?

It is possible but rarely clean. A PDF stores glyphs and positions rather than paragraphs, so text editing can break spacing and fonts. If you have the source document, edit that and export a new PDF. If you only have the PDF, expect to work page by page.

Are my PDF files uploaded?

Most of the PDF tools listed here run in the browser. The Word to PDF converter processes the file on a server, and its page states what is sent. For any confidential document, read the notice on the tool page before you upload or open it.
