Optimize

Intelligence
- PDF to Markdown
Convert a PDF text layer to Markdown with page markers and inferred headings. Edit the result in a plain-text editor.

Summarize a text PDF by selecting source sentences or bullet points. The downloadable brief includes page references for verification.

Translate selectable PDF text into a newly typeset draft. Choose an available language pair and review the result against the source.
Is your PDF text or a scan?
Try selecting a word in your PDF reader. If you can select it, PDF to Word can use the existing text. If the whole page is a picture, OCR PDF can add searchable text. To keep the page looking exactly as printed when you share an image, use PDF to JPG.
One file or several?
Extract PDF pages makes one file containing a selection; Split PDF produces several files in a ZIP. Merge PDF collects pages from different files in sequence.
