Pdf Compress
Compress PDF — Reduce PDF file size while preserving readability. Quality presets: light (300 DPI), balanced (150 DPI, default), mobile (96 DPI), maximum (72 DPI). Also supports metadata-only stripping and a target-size mode. [category: pdf]
Pdf Merge
Merge PDFs — Combine multiple PDF files (at least 2) into a single document in the order provided. Supports per-file page selection, blank separator pages, bookmarks, and output metadata. [category: pdf]
Pdf Split
Split PDF — Split a PDF by page range, into individual pages, by fixed chunk size, or into even/odd pages. [category: pdf]
Pdf Rotate
Rotate PDF — Rotate pages of a PDF by 90, 180, or 270 degrees — all pages or specific page numbers. [category: pdf]
Pdf Protect
Password-Protect PDF — Add a password to a PDF to prevent unauthorised opening or printing. [category: pdf]
Pdf Unlock
Unlock PDF — Remove password protection from a PDF (you must supply the current password). [category: pdf]
Pdf To Images
PDF to Images — Rasterize PDF pages to PNG / JPG / WEBP / TIFF (and AVIF, Starter+). Supports page ranges, quality/DPI controls, grayscale/mono color modes, transparent output, custom background color, max-dimension cap, area crop, text watermark, custom filename patterns, contact-sheet/filmstrip tile mode (Starter+), preset profiles (web/print/email/archive), and JSON / MinIO URL response modes. [category: pdf]
Pdf To Images Batch
PDF to Images (Batch) — Apply the same rasterization configuration to up to 20 PDFs. Returns a ZIP with a subfolder per input file. [category: pdf]
Pdf To Text
PDF to Text — COPY THE WORDS OUT of a PDF: get the wording, sentences and paragraphs as plain text you can paste into an email, a document or a spreadsheet. Extract the text that is already inside a PDF and return it as a plain .txt file. Reads the PDF's existing text layer using pdftotext with a Ghostscript txtwrite fallback — it does NOT run OCR. A scanned or photographed document has no text layer, so this tool refuses it with a 422 naming pdf_ocr rather than returning an empty file; run pdf_
Pdf Ocr
OCR PDF (Make Searchable) — Make a scanned PDF searchable and selectable by adding an invisible OCR text layer over the page images — the pages look identical, but the text becomes findable, copyable, and indexable. Uses ocrmypdf (Tesseract + Ghostscript); already-searchable pages are skipped, so it is safe to run on mixed documents. This CREATES a text layer — to EXTRACT text that already exists, use pdf_to_text instead. [category: pdf] [requires the starter plan]
Pdf To Pdfa
PDF to PDF/A (Archival) — Convert a PDF to PDF/A-2b, the ISO archival profile required for long-term storage and by many legal, government and enterprise records systems. Embeds fonts and colour information so the document renders identically decades from now. Uses Ghostscript. If a PDF uses features that cannot be embedded (e.g. unlicensed fonts) the conversion fails honestly rather than returning a non-conformant file. [category: pdf]
Pdf Extract Pages
Extract Pages — Extract a specific range of pages from a PDF into a new PDF. [category: pdf]
Pdf Delete Pages
Delete Pages — Remove specific pages from a PDF. [category: pdf]
Pdf Watermark
Add PDF Watermark — STAMP or watermark a PDF: overlay text or an image across every page (or selected pages) — the tool for stamping DRAFT, CONFIDENTIAL, PAID, APPROVED, COPY or any wording onto a document, marking pages, branding them, or adding a logo overlay. Watermark type is chosen by the 'mode' field. [category: pdf]
Pdf Remove Watermark
Remove PDF Watermark — Attempt to remove an existing watermark layer from a PDF. [category: pdf]
Pdf Get Metadata
Get PDF Metadata — Read the metadata fields of a PDF: Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Producer, Creator. [category: pdf]
Pdf Set Metadata
Set PDF Metadata — Write or update metadata fields (Title, Author, Subject, Keywords) in a PDF. Fields are soft-verified after writing (mismatches are logged, not failed). At least ONE of title/author/subject/keywords must be provided or the request is rejected. [category: pdf]
Pdf Reorder
Reorder PDF Pages — Reorder the pages of a PDF by supplying the desired page sequence. [category: pdf]

Hybrid pipeline: excelize preprocesses the xlsx (page layout, sheet visibility) then LibreOffice converts. [category: pdf]
Pdf Excel To Pdf Inspect
Excel to PDF (Inspect) — Non-destructive workbook scan: returns per-sheet row/column counts, merged cells, PrintArea presence, and the auto-orientation heuristic's decision per sheet. Used by the frontend to preview before converting. [category: pdf]
