PDF Operations Without Opening Adobe Acrobat

PDFs Don't Need to Be Painful

Need to merge 5 PDFs into one? Split a 200-page document? Extract text from a scanned contract?

Stop opening Adobe Acrobat and waiting 30 seconds for it to load:

npx pdf-toolkit-pro merge doc1.pdf doc2.pdf doc3.pdf -o combined.pdf
npx pdf-toolkit-pro split thick.pdf --pages 1-50
npx pdf-toolkit-pro extract text scanned.pdf -o extracted.txt
npx pdf-toolkit-pro info report.pdf
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Features

  • Merge: Combine multiple PDFs into one
  • Split: Extract specific pages or ranges
  • Extract Text: Pull text content (works with OCR-scanned docs too)
  • Compress: Reduce file size
  • Metadata: View and edit PDF metadata

npm install -g pdf-toolkit-pro
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
