Whatever you pick
Five questions to ask any PDF tool.
01
Is the file uploaded?
For which jobs, to where, and how long is it kept?
02
Do I need an account?
For the everyday jobs, or only for extras?
03
What are the limits?
Per day, per file, per page — and what lifts them?
04
What does the paid plan add?
Jobs you can't do free, or just more of the same?
05
Does it say what it can't do?
A tool that's plain about its edges is easier to trust with the rest.
