PDF Tools - View, Fill, Merge, Split, Manage Pages, Extract

Overview

PDF Tools turns Claude Desktop into a complete local PDF workstation. Instead of just opening a PDF, you can inspect it visually, fill forms, save reusable profiles, reorganize pages, extract structured data, and analyze document content without uploading files anywhere. **Interactive PDF Viewer:** • View PDFs with page navigation, zoom, search, text selection, and fullscreen • See form fields in a sidebar with fill status • Use visual page management to reorder, rotate, and remove pages before saving a new copy **Forms & Reusable Profiles:** • Fill W-9s, 1099s, rental applications, waivers, and any fillable PDF • Save personal or business details as reusable profiles • List, load, and apply saved profiles so repeated forms take seconds instead of minutes • Bulk fill many PDFs from CSV data and validate required fields before submission **Page Organization Tools:** • Merge multiple PDFs into one document • Split PDFs by exact page ranges or regular intervals • Rotate and reorder pages, or apply a full page plan in one pass • Keep the original intact by saving organized output as a new file **Extraction & Analysis:** • Read document text for summarization, question answering, and research workflows • Extract structured data to CSV • Inspect page-level details like orientation, text presence, images, and likely blank pages • Review metadata such as page count, dimensions, form fields, and file size **Works with many PDF types:** Forms, contracts, research papers, technical manuals, invoices, financial statements, scanned documents, and encrypted PDFs. **Best for:** People who need more than a viewer — researchers reviewing papers, operators processing forms, lawyers organizing contracts, accountants handling tax documents, and anyone who wants local PDF workflows without sending files to a web app.
