Analyze

PDF analysis tools help you understand, validate, and extract information from your PDF documents. Whether you are verifying document compliance, extracting content for reuse, or comparing different versions of a file, these tools give you deep visibility into what your PDFs actually contain.

The PDF Statistics tool provides a complete breakdown of document properties: page count, file size, fonts used, embedded images, annotations, form fields, and security settings. This information is invaluable for troubleshooting rendering issues or understanding why a file is larger than expected.

OCR (Optical Character Recognition) makes scanned documents searchable by analyzing page images and creating an embedded text layer. This is essential for working with scanned contracts, historical documents, or any PDF created by photographing paper documents. The PDF-to-Text tool extracts text from documents that already have a text layer, useful for copying content into other applications.

The Compare tool finds textual differences between two versions of a document — useful for reviewing contract changes or tracking edits. Visual Compare goes further, detecting layout and image changes that text comparison might miss. The Validate tool checks whether a PDF meets archival standards like PDF/A, important for legal and regulatory compliance. The Repair tool attempts to recover content from damaged or corrupted PDF files that cannot otherwise be opened.
