PDF Tools for Scanned Documents
Prepare PDF documents for OCR: crop, deskew, enhance scans, organize pages and convert files. Choose a tool for the document task in front of you.
PDF tools
Prepare, arrange and convert PDF documents before or after recognition.
Crop PDF
Trim PDF margins manually or fit pages automatically. Review each crop, preserve native PDF content and prepare a focused document for OCR.
Split PDF Pages in Half
Divide scanned PDF spreads vertically or horizontally. Adjust the divider, choose reading order and save two pages per source page before OCR.
Deskew PDF
Straighten tilted PDF scans with a manual angle or automatic deskew. Review page settings and export image-based pages at 150, 200 or 300 DPI.
Contrast PDF
Adjust scanned PDF contrast with manual controls, auto levels or local contrast. Compare the preview and export an image-based PDF for OCR.
Enhance Scanned PDF
Clean scanned PDF backgrounds, reduce shadows and speckles, or prepare black-and-white and colored notes. Review page settings before OCR.
PDF to Grayscale
Convert a color PDF to grayscale for a neutral reading or printing copy. Review colored labels and highlights before using the result for OCR.
Compress PDF
Reduce PDF size using compression, resolution and color settings. Compare the result and preserve readable scan detail before OCR or sharing.
Scan to PDF
Capture or import document photos, adjust page corners and clean up the image. Arrange the pages and create a PDF for reading or a separate OCR step.
PDF to Text
Extract a PDF’s existing text into one TXT file or separate page files in a ZIP. Review the text and use PDF OCR for image-only scans.
Extract Pages from PDF
Select PDF pages visually or by range, arrange their order and download a smaller PDF. Keep useful pages ready for reading or OCR.
Remove Pages from PDF
Choose unwanted PDF pages and save the remaining document. Review covers, blanks and duplicates before preparing a focused PDF for OCR.
Organize PDF
Arrange pages from one or more PDFs on a visual board. Reorder, rotate, duplicate or remove pages before saving a focused document for OCR.
Rotate PDF
Rotate PDF pages by 90, 180 or 270 degrees without rasterizing their content. Apply a change to every page or selected pages, then review the result.
Merge PDF
Combine PDFs with file ordering, page ranges and alternating-page options. Review the output sequence and save one document before reading or OCR.
Images to PDF
Arrange image files and supported frames as PDF pages. Set paper, fit, margins and rotation, then save an ordered document for reading or OCR.
PDF to Images
Export selected PDF pages as images at 150, 200 or 300 DPI. Choose format and rotation, then save one image or a ZIP of multiple pages.
Remove Blank Pages from PDF
Find blank-looking PDF pages, review the suggestions and keep useful pages. Choose a scan-noise tolerance before saving a cleaner document.
Remove Duplicate Pages from PDF
Find matching PDF pages, keep the first or last copy and review duplicate groups. Save a cleaner document without treating similar scans as identical.
