This software was created, totally free, to facilitate and collect in one place, some operations that are normally done on PDF files.
Currently the possible operations are:
- PDF Compression - Compress PDF files by adjusting the compression factor with 4 different quality levels (prepress, printer, ebook, screen);
- Text Extraction - Extract text from PDF via OCR with support for multiple languages using Tesseract;
- PDF Merging - Merge multiple PDF files following the sequence of adding files, creating a new combined PDF file;
- PDF Conversion - Convert PDF files to editable DOCX and/or RTF formats. >>> No Office installation required <<< to convert. If PDF contains only images, output DOCX and/or RTF files will have only images. Use text extraction (with OCR) to convert text inside images.
The application features a completely redesigned modern interface with:
- ModernCard - Stylish card containers with colored headers and rounded corners for each operation section
- ModernButton - Smooth gradient buttons with hover effects and rounded borders
- ModernProgressBar - Enhanced progress bar with percentage display and smooth animations
- LoadingSpinner - Animated circular spinner for visual feedback during long operations
