PDF Tools

Page organisation, text extraction and the assorted toolbox operations. PDF page order lives in a page tree, so reordering pages changes nothing about their content — and splitting a document usually makes the total size larger, because shared fonts are duplicated per file.

Everything here works on the page level. Editing text inside a PDF is a different problem, covered in the guides.

Common questions

Why can I not select the text in this PDF?

It is a scan — the file contains images, not characters. You need OCR rather than text extraction.
