PDFHaul is a complete PDF toolkit for people who work with documents every day. 20+ TOOLS IN ONE APP Merge PDFs into one file, split by page range, compress without losing quality, rotate and reorder pages, redact sensitive content, and add signatures. Convert PDFs to Word, PowerPoint, and images, or bring those formats into PDF instantly. Two tools most free apps get wrong: PDF to Excel that keeps your tables intact instead of garbling them, and Extract Tables, which pulls structured data straight out of a PDF so you don't have to retype it. Remove Duplicates finds and clears out repeated pages automatically. BUILD WORKFLOWS, NOT ROUTINES Chain tools together into a saved workflow. Run a merge, compress, and export in one tap every time. Connect workflows to OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive so results land exactly where you need them. CLOUD CONNECTED Import files directly from OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive without downloading first. Export results straight back to the same folder when you are done. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Files are encrypted in transit and at rest. Everything is automatically deleted after 2 hours. Nothing is stored longer than needed. WORKS YOUR WAY Pick files from your device, scan with your camera, or pull from cloud storage. PDFHaul handles the whole job, not just one step of it.
