Create, merge, split and scan PDFs

If you have the Word source, edit it and export a new PDF. If you only have a PDF, distinguish page operations from editing the text or images inside a page before choosing an app.

Before choosing a task

  1. Decide whether you need only the page appearance or must also preserve forms, annotations and digital signatures.
  2. Choose scanning and OCR for paper documents, or a merge/split tool for existing PDF pages.
  3. Before sharing, check page count, page breaks and readable text in another viewer.
