Edit PDF
The Edit PDF tools cover the everyday page-level changes people actually need: combining files with Merge PDF, pulling specific pages out with Split PDF, Extract PDF Pages or the multi-file Split Multiple PDFs, removing pages you don't want with Delete PDF Pages, fixing sideways scans with Rotate PDF, shrinking file size with Compress PDF, and adding a signature or typed note directly onto a page with Sign PDF and Add Text to PDF. All of them work on the PDF's existing structure rather than re-rendering the document from scratch, which is why they stay fast even on large files and why the output keeps the original text as real, selectable text instead of turning it into a flat image.
A common question is what "compress" actually does here: Toolnova's compressor re-optimizes the PDF's internal structure (removing redundant objects, using more efficient object streams) rather than aggressively re-encoding embedded images at lower quality the way some server-based compressors do. The size reduction is usually modest, but visual quality never degrades — if a PDF is mostly large embedded images, the more effective move is often to convert it to JPG first, compress the images at a lower quality, then rebuild it with Image to PDF.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between Split PDF and Extract PDF Pages?
Split PDF takes a typed page range (like "1-3,5"), which is quick when you already know the exact pages. Extract PDF Pages shows a thumbnail of every page so you can click to select visually — better when you need to check what's actually on each page first. Split Multiple PDFs does the same visual selection across several files at once.
Can I sign a PDF and have it count as a legally binding signature?
Sign PDF adds a typed, drawn or uploaded signature image to the page — useful for everyday forms and internal documents, but it doesn't add cryptographic signing or identity verification. Contracts that require a legally certified e-signature need a dedicated e-signature service instead.
Will editing a PDF here remove its password protection?
No — encrypted or password-protected PDFs need to be unlocked first, outside Toolnova, since files aren't uploaded anywhere for processing. Once you have an unprotected copy, any of the Edit PDF tools will work on it.
