PDF page assembly: merge, split, crop, rotate and reorder. Not existing-text editing, OCR, secure redaction or digital-signature certification.
Before you switch
Page assembly only: no editing existing paragraphs, OCR, secure redaction or certified signatures. Packaged primarily for Windows and Linux; macOS requires a technical source-install route. Preserve originals when rearranging signed documents.
