Use cases

Text Manipulation

This feature allows you to add various types of text to your PDF documents. You can insert simple text anywhere on a page, create professional-looking stamps (like "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT"), automatically number pages, or even generate barcodes. This is useful for adding headers, footers, watermarks, or important information to your documents.

Image Insertion

With this capability, you can enhance your PDFs by adding images or QR codes. This is particularly helpful when you need to include logos, photographs, diagrams, or scannable codes in your documents. For example, you could add a company logo to every page or insert a QR code that links to additional online information.

Vector Graphics

This feature enables you to add scalable graphics to your PDFs. Unlike regular images, vector graphics can be resized without losing quality, making them ideal for diagrams, charts, or complex illustrations. You can create precise shapes, lines, and curves that maintain their clarity regardless of zoom level.

Content Removal

Sometimes, you need to remove sensitive or unnecessary information from a PDF. This feature allows you to selectively delete specific elements like text, images, or graphics from your document. It's particularly useful for redacting confidential information or cleaning up documents before sharing them.

Form Field Management

This functionality lets you create interactive PDF forms. You can add various types of form fields such as text boxes for user input, checkboxes for yes/no questions, radio buttons for multiple-choice selections, and dropdown lists for predefined options. This feature is invaluable for creating surveys, application forms, or any document that requires user input.

Content Extraction

This feature allows you to pull out specific information from existing PDFs. You can extract text, images, and even digital signatures. This is particularly useful when you need to reuse content from a PDF in another document, or when you need to analyze or process information contained in PDFs.
