PDF tools

About these tools
PDF work divides into two kinds. Structural changes — merging, splitting, reordering, rotating, deleting pages — rearrange the document without touching its contents, so nothing is lost. Compression is the other kind: reaching a specific file size in a browser means re-rendering pages as images, which shrinks the file and costs you selectable text.
The tools here are explicit about which kind you are using, and the size-target tools report the smallest size they actually achieved rather than silently returning something over your limit. Documents are opened and processed inside your browser, which matters when the file is a contract, a bank statement or an identity document.
Questions people ask
Will compressing my PDF make the text unselectable?
Yes, for the compress tools. Reaching a size target in the browser means re-rendering each page as an image, so the result looks the same but its text can no longer be selected or searched. That suits scans, which are images already. For a text PDF that is only slightly too big, try splitting it or removing pages first, and keep your original either way.
What if my PDF cannot get under the limit?
The size-target tools tell you the smallest size they reached and the resolution it took, rather than handing you a file that is still over the limit. At that point the practical options are to split the document and send it in parts, or remove pages the recipient does not need.
Which tools keep the PDF exactly as it is?
Merge, split, extract, delete, reorder, rotate, page numbers, watermark and the page-size converters all rearrange or add to the document without re-rendering it, so text stays selectable and nothing loses quality. Letter to A4 and the other page-size tools scale pages as vectors.
Can I use these on a password-protected PDF?
Not reliably. Remove the password in a PDF reader you trust first (open it, then save or print a copy without protection), and run the tool on that copy.
