Frequently asked questions

Will compression preserve every drawing detail?

Compression can change image quality. Review the exported PDF before using it for a project decision or distribution.

Can ToolPDFs manage drawing revisions?

No. It does not provide revision control, markups, coordination, or drawing management.

Are plan files uploaded to ToolPDFs?

Supported operations run locally in your browser and are not sent to ToolPDFs application APIs.

Can I rotate only selected pages?

The current Rotate PDF tool rotates every page in the uploaded PDF. Use Extract Pages or Split PDF to make a working subset first when needed.

Do I need an account to use the tools?

No. Free ToolPDFs usage does not require an account.
