Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A collection of 74 free PDF tools, presented as browser-based utilities plus a local MCP server, REST API, and Python library.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-12 issue.

For: People handling sensitive PDFs; developers connecting local agents
Worth noticing: PDF-to-Word reconstructs text structure but explicitly does not preserve exact layouts, tables, or images.

Field notes

Tool descriptions include practical boundaries rather than promising perfect conversion: PDF-to-Word reconstructs paragraphs and headings from the text layer, while leaving out exact layout, tables, and images. The OCR description says pages with existing text are passed through and reported as skipped. For image metadata removal, the page distinguishes metadata from pixel data and explicitly excludes invisible, pixel-embedded watermarks.
