Free to try. This link opens the tool straight away, with no sign-up. The ABC toolbox lists it in the Premium plan.

How it works

  1. Organize and merge: add one PDF to edit or several to merge, drag pages into order, rotate or delete pages, then Download PDF. Tick pages and press Download selected to pull out just those pages.
  2. Images to PDF: add JPG or PNG images, drag them into order, choose the page size (match each image, A4 portrait, A4 landscape or US Letter) and the margin.
  3. Compress: set the quality and resolution and see the size before and after. Compressing turns each page into an image, so the text is no longer selectable.
  4. Sign: draw your signature or type it in one of three styles, choose the page, size and position, and press Download signed PDF.

Ways to use it

  • Combine scanned worksheets into one file for the class.
  • Pull the pages you need out of a long coursebook PDF.
  • Shrink a large file to fit an email or upload limit.

Good to know

  • Files are read and written in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
  • The signature is a visual signature image, not a legally binding e-signature with an audit trail.
  • The page loads pdf-lib and pdf.js from cdnjs.cloudflare.com and fonts from Google Fonts, besides www.abcwebsites.online.
