Free PDF tools online
PDF tasks are extremely common in support, legal, and engineering workflows: merge scanned attachments, split a contract by chapter, or pull plain text from a report. Many users explicitly search for no-upload or offline-capable solutions because documents are confidential.
Each tool does one job and states its options plainly: the merger lets you set the order before combining, the splitter takes explicit page ranges, and the text extractor returns selectable text rather than an image of the page.
Every tool page says exactly what happens to your file and where the processing runs, along with the real limits — very large files are bounded by your device’s memory, and scanned PDFs with no text layer need OCR, which these tools do not perform.
