Choose a document tool by the task
Document Tools groups three document actions: reduce a document's size, extract content from a document, or combine documents. Open Compress Tools, Extract Tools, or Merge Tools, then choose the named tool in that group. The document tools process files locally in the browser without uploading them.
What each document tool does
Match the result you need to the group name. Each group leads to one document tool for that document task.
- Compress Tools reduces the size of a document. Open Document Compressor for that result.
- Extract Tools extracts content from a document. Open Document Content Extractor when the content is the result you need.
- Merge Tools combines documents. Open Document Merger when several documents should become one file.
Pick the result before opening a tool
A smaller document points to Document Compressor. Content taken from a document points to Document Content Extractor. Several documents that should become one point to Document Merger.
The group names tell you which result each tool handles. Open the matching group, then select its document tool.
What happens to the document
- Document Compressor works on the document's size.
- Document Content Extractor works on the content inside a document.
- Document Merger works on multiple documents that need to become one file.
How Document Tools fit into File Tools
Choose Document Tools when you are working with a document and need compression, merging, or content extraction. For another file type, open File Tools and choose its matching category.
The document tools process files locally in the browser, and the files are not uploaded. The selected group determines whether the result is a smaller document, extracted content, or one combined file.
