I made a free PDF tool that does everything in your browser. Nothing gets uploaded. Most free PDF sites upload your document to their servers to merge, sign or shrink it, then push you to pay. I didn't love doing that with tax forms or a copy of my driver's license, so I built EnokiPDF. What's free (no account, no watermark, no limits on merging): - Merge PDFs and photos into one file, reorder pages by dragging, rotate, delete - Split a PDF into several files - Fill and sign forms, including flattened PDFs (see below) - Put the front and back of an ID on one page - Shrink large files, hide private numbers (SSN, account numbers) - Fix typed words on a page, even on a scan - Send a locked link instead of an email attachment (expires in an hour, a day or a week, optional password, can be one download only) The flattened PDF problem: a lot of forms people get are "flat," meaning the fill-in boxes were removed when the file was saved or scanned. Most free tools treat them as pictures, so you end up drawing text boxes by hand. EnokiPDF looks for the lines, boxes and checkboxes on the page and marks them as places to fill, and the text you type matches the font on the form. You can also click typed words on the page to change them. Why nothing is uploaded: the work happens in your browser, on your computer or phone. The only time a file leaves your device is when you choose to make a share link, and even then it's locked before it's sent. The server can't open it and deletes it when the link expires. The catch: it's free for personal use. Businesses that use it for work are asked to get the paid plan, which adds things like audit certificates and tracked links. No ads and no nag screens either way. I'd love feedback, especially on forms it doesn't handle well: https://enokipdf.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sideproject   submitted by   /u/Mountain-Meringue288 [link]   [comments]
