PDF tools

Generates real PDF files from scratch, no external library — plus text extraction, which uses pdftotext when available for reliable results (it is, on this server).

What is PDF tools?

Three common PDF needs handled without installing anything: turning plain text or an image into a PDF, and pulling the text back out of an existing one.

How to use it

Text-to-PDF and image-to-PDF are generated from scratch server-side. PDF-to-text uses pdftotext where available for reliable results on any real-world PDF, falling back to a basic method for simple PDFs when it isn't.

Example

Pasting a paragraph of text and clicking Generate PDF produces a real, downloadable multi-page PDF using a monospace font.
