Common PDF tasks

What do you want to do with your PDF?

Choose the result you want. These shortcuts use everyday language so you do not need to know the technical PDF term first.

Natural-language matching runs locally against the site tool index.

Not sure which tool you need?

Similar PDF terms can produce very different results. Use these quick distinctions before choosing a tool.

Combine or join PDFs

Use Merge PDF when you want several complete PDF files to become one document.

“Take page 4 out of a PDF”

Extract page 4 if you want to save it as a new PDF. Delete page 4 if you want it removed from the original sequence.

Split or extract pages

Split PDF creates several output files. Extract PDF Pages creates one focused PDF from the pages you select.

Text extraction or OCR

PDF to Text copies text that already exists inside the PDF. Image-only scans need OCR; OCR is not included in this release.

Flatten or lock

Flatten PDF Form fixes form-field values into the page appearance. It does not encrypt or password-protect the PDF.

Start with the actions people need most often.

Your files stay in your browser

BQ PDF Tools is designed around local processing. When you select a document, the browser reads and transforms it on your device. The application does not upload the file to a BQ server.

Install once and keep working offline

Supported browsers can install BQ PDF Tools as a standalone app. After the static tool files finish caching, the complete tool suite remains available without a network connection. Selected PDFs and images are never added to the offline application cache.

Install

Use the install arrow when it appears in the header, or choose Install app from the browser menu.

Work offline

Open the installed app or a previously cached tool page and process files directly on the device.

Update safely

When a new version is ready, the footer offers an explicit update action instead of interrupting active work.

Choose the right PDF workflow

Organize

Merge, split, extract, delete, rotate, reorder, or remove blank pages.

Edit

Add margins, borders, Bates numbers, overlays, watermarks, headers, booklets, or scale page content.

Convert and optimize

Turn images into PDFs, render PDF pages as images, or compress image-heavy documents.
