PDF Tools
Choose whether you need to reduce an existing PDF, turn ordered images into pages, or join several documents. All three workflows run locally and report the resulting page count and bytes.
Choose a PDF workflow by what you already have
| Starting files | Goal | Use |
|---|---|---|
| JPG or PNG images | One PDF page for each image | Images to PDF |
| Several PDFs | Combine complete documents in order | Merge PDF |
| One PDF | Try a smaller structural rewrite | Compress PDF |
Keep text and page order intact
If your source is already a PDF, merge its pages directly instead of taking screenshots and rebuilding it as images. Image pages do not become searchable text through Images to PDF. Whatever the workflow, open the saved file and check order, rotation, edges and legibility.
A three-page rehearsal
Merge the labelled sample documents and check for A1, A2, then B1. Reverse the document order to see what the controls actually change. This makes a page-order mistake visible before you work with an important application.
Why a PDF may remain too large
Structural optimization does not lower the resolution of embedded scans. If an image-heavy PDF remains over the limit, return to the scanning or authoring application, export suitable image resolution and inspect the new PDF. Compare the measured compression example before assuming a target is achievable.
Available tools
PDF Compressor
Run a conservative structure pass on one unrestricted document and compare the result; image-heavy PDFs may need changes in the source application instead.
Open tool →PDF ToolsImages to PDF
Build a PDF from ordered JPG or PNG files, with controls for page size, orientation, margins, rotation, and how each image fits.
Open tool →PDF ToolsMerge PDF
Review the order of several valid, unrestricted PDFs before copying their pages into a single document on this device.
Open tool →Choose by the source you have
Already have one PDF that is too large? Try PDF Compressor and compare the measured output; scans may need a new export from the source application. Have separate JPG or PNG pages? Images to PDF lets you set page order, rotation, margins, and contain or cover. Have multiple PDFs? Merge PDF copies their pages in the order shown.
After any PDF workflow, open the downloaded document, count the pages, and inspect page order and legibility. The PDF-specific checks are in the practical guide.
