PDF tools overview

The Tools Hub gives you 43 one-tap PDF operations — merge, split, compress, convert and more.

Applies to macOS 14 Sonoma or later

The Tools tab (or section) is a collection of one-tap PDF operations. Each tool follows the same four-step flow: pick files, set options, run, save.
