PDF Tools

• Extracts text and tables from any PDF, including scanned documents
• Merges multiple PDFs into one file or splits a PDF into separate pages
• Creates new PDFs with custom text, layouts, and multiple pages
• Rotates pages, adds watermarks, and fills out PDF forms
• Encrypts PDFs with passwords or removes existing passwords

Slides

• Creates presentation files in PowerPoint, Google Slides, or web formats based on your needs
• Applies your brand guidelines and style preferences automatically to every slide
• Formats content following design rules (readability, color consistency, spacing)
• Saves your approved templates and reuses them across projects
• Tracks versions so you can compare changes or revert to earlier drafts
