Hey HN, I’ve been building PDF utility tools in DigiParser my SaaS app, to simplify working with PDF files. Just launched an update that includes 59 new tools - all free to use.

You can now merge, split, compress, convert (PDF ↔ Word, Excel, JPG, etc.), OCR, redact, fill forms, sign, reorder pages, and much more.

No login required. Fast, privacy-friendly, and works in the browser.

Check it out: https://www.digiparser.com/free-tools/pdf

Would love your feedback or ideas for more tools!

I tried Compress-Pdf module and it is actually uploading the binary pdf file to the server for processing.

ah that's right, I need to change that statement, thanks for flagging. The files are processed on server, securely and deleted after processing. No data stored.

That's frustrating when I see these kinds of online only tools. I have to expose my own documents to a third-party service.

Totally understand the concern, privacy is critically important. But this is the age of cloud computing, and server-side processing enables more powerful tools. Files are sent to our servers for processing, but we don’t store or log anything, all files are auto-deleted immediately after processing.
