PDF tools: instructions and references
PDFs are containers for pages, text, forms and metadata rather than one simple image format. LittleKit’s local PDF tools make common page and sharing tasks understandable: the page operation is visible, limits are stated, and a new copy is exported without uploading the source file.
Choosing a tool: Start with the least destructive operation that solves the job. Page organization preserves more of the source than raster compression; compression is useful for scans but can remove selectable text; flattened redaction removes the original object layer but requires you to mark every sensitive area yourself.
