PDF Workflow: Chain PDF Tools in One Go

Instead of going from tool to tool, pick the steps once and run them all on one PDF or a whole batch. Start from a preset like "Govt portal ready" or build your own, and share the link so others get the same steps. Everything runs in your browser.

Building a workflow

Order matters

  • "Compress to size" and "Split by size" decide the final file, so they always go last, and only one of them can be used.
  • Auto redact needs readable text. Put it before "Black and white" or "Compress to size", which turn pages into images.
  • Redact before "Pages per sheet" so the boxes are found on the original pages.

What each preset does

  • Govt portal ready: flatten forms, remove hidden data, black and white, compress under 200 KB.
  • Email ready: compress images (medium), split into parts under 25 MB.
  • Share privately: auto redact (Aadhaar masked to the last 4 digits, PAN, phone, email, card numbers), flatten, remove hidden data.
  • Print saver: black and white, 2 pages per sheet.
