PDF24

merging PDFs with PDF24, where the Merge PDF tool documents combining multiple PDFs, images, Word documents and other supported files into a single PDF, with drag-and-drop ordering, an optional page mode, bookmarks and blank pages, files transferred over SSL to servers in Germany and deleted after one hour, and free use without registration; the page's without-losing-quality wording is recorded as marketing rather than a lossless guarantee, and the scope makes no claim about preserving signatures, forms or annotations across a merge

compressing PDFs with PDF24, where the Compress PDF tool documents shrinking files by reducing image resolution and image quality and removing unneeded data, with adjustable DPI and image-quality percentage and additional removal options, with files uploaded over SSL to servers in Germany and deleted after one hour and free use without registration; the scope records the documented adjustable compression and makes no lossless or specific size-reduction guarantee

editing PDFs with PDF24, where the Edit PDF tool documents writing on PDF pages, inserting images, rectangles, circles and arrows, and freehand sketching with the mouse, then downloading the changed PDF, and its own tip suggests converting a PDF to Word to edit the text; the scope records adding new marks, images and shapes and freehand drawing, makes no claim to rewrite existing page text, and keeps the web upload and one-hour deletion facts

converting common Office and image files to PDF and converting PDFs back to editable DOCX and other formats in PDF24's online PDF Converter, where the conversion is done on PDF24 servers; not a claim about every format in the wider PDF24 tool set

signing PDFs with PDF24, where the Sign PDF tool documents electronically signing contracts, applications and forms without a printer or scanner by drawing, uploading or photographing a signature and placing it on the PDF, with free use without registration and files deleted after one hour; the page describes an electronic signature only and does not document a certificate-based digital signature, certificate authority, trust validation or timestamping, so the scope makes no cryptographic-signature or legal-validity claim

running OCR with PDF24, where the PDF OCR tool documents making scanned documents and photos searchable with text recognition, copying text from them and saving as PDF/A with deskewed and cleaned pages, and provides a long language selector; the scope records the searchable-text and PDF/A output workflow and the language selector, and makes no accuracy figure, language-count guarantee or handwriting claim

protecting PDFs with PDF24, where the Protect PDF tool documents encrypting PDF files with a password at AES-256 bits and restricting permissions such as printing, copying content, commenting or changing the document, with free use without registration and files deleted after one hour; the scope records the documented AES-256 encryption and permission restrictions and makes no claim that other readers enforce the permission flags, with redaction kept separate
