About

Most online PDF tools upload your file to a server to do the work. KeptPDF does the work right in your browser: 25 tools including redact, sign, compress, OCR, organize, and compare. Your document is never part of a single request. The proof takes ten seconds: load the page, turn on Airplane Mode, and every tool still works. Free tier with no account. Pro adds bulk actions, personal redaction lists, and exports for $29/mo. The redaction engine auto-detects names, SSNs, phone numbers, addresses, and dates, removes the underlying text instead of drawing a box over it, and prints an audit certificate on every file that anyone can verify. A command line version runs the same engine on your own servers for bulk work: scanning bureaus, litigation support teams, and records departments process thousands of PDFs in one pass.

About

pdfRest is a REST API for high-volume PDF processing, built on the Adobe PDF Library. Call it from any language to convert, generate, extract, secure, and prepare PDFs in production pipelines, chaining calls by passing a resource ID between steps. Convert Office, HTML, images, email, and Markdown to PDF, and PDF to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, images, Markdown, PDF/A, PDF/X, and PostScript. Generate PDFs from scratch with text, images, shapes, and attachments, with accessibility tagging. Extract via OCR, text/image extraction, form data, metadata, AI summarization, translation. Secure with signing, encryption, restrictions, watermarking, two-step redaction, and TDM Reserve to opt out of AI training. Handle prepress: color conversion, transparency flattening, page boxes, rasterization. Manage forms: import/export, flatten, XFA-to-AcroForm. Deploy on pdfRest Cloud (US or EU) or self-host via Docker, Kubernetes, or AWS Marketplace (BYOL) — same API, same code, just change the base URL.

  • pdfRest is surely a business oriented PDF converter because it can convert all sorts of files, small and large, landscape or portrait, into splendid and crisp PDFs for all purposes.
  • It is the best documentation tool in the market for creating, editing and converting office suite documents into PDF. Really liked its simple to use procedures.

Cons

  • The team at PDFrest is incredibly helpful — they respond quickly, clearly, and even took individual feature requests into account without delay. The API itself is fast, user-friendly, and well-documented. A solid, reliable partner to work with.
  • Multiple file upload options is missing or I didn't find the option, either ways would appreciate some guidance.
  • I do not have complaints at the moment with regards to execution of the tool or its processes.
  • OCR feature could have been a lovely add. I hope the makers add this feature soon.
  • One area where the platform falls short is in its limited language support. PDFRest currently only supports English, which can be a significant limitation for users.

KeptPDF is a PDF toolkit that runs entirely in your browser. Nothing uploads: redaction, OCR, compression, signing, splitting, merging, and the rest of its 25 tools all run on your own device, so the document never touches a server. The redaction engine auto-detects names, SSNs, phone numbers, addresses, and dates, removes the underlying text instead of covering it, and prints a verifiable audit certificate on every file. A command line version handles thousands of PDFs in one pass for scanning bureaus, litigation support teams, and records departments. The core tools are free with no sign-up.
