How to Merge, Split, and Organize PDF Documents in Your Browser

The Portable Document Format (PDF, standardized under ISO 32000) is the global standard for contracts, invoices, and digital reports.


1. Common PDF Tasks and Solutions

  • Merging Invoices & Attachments: Combine receipts, statements, and summary sheets into a single document using Merge PDF.
  • Extracting Specific Pages: Split a large contract to send only the signature page using Split PDF.
  • Orienting Scans: Fix upside-down or sideways pages using Rotate PDF.
  • Creating Portfolios from Photos: Convert JPG and PNG image collections into a printable booklet using JPG to PDF.

2. How Client-Side PDF Processing Protects Privacy

Traditional online PDF converters require uploading sensitive legal, financial, or personal documents to remote cloud servers.

Our platform parses the PDF binary streams directly inside your browser session:

  1. File bytes are loaded into browser RAM as a Uint8Array.
  2. The page object tree is parsed and merged.
  3. The newly generated PDF is saved directly to your Downloads folder.
