PDF foibles be gone, take two

January 26, 2021

“Lee-Anne we’re not very technically savvy.  Could you send us just the agenda from the learning resources PDF package you just sent?” said a client to me recently.

This is from a blog post I wrote back in October– where I recommended a wonderful free tool-that now costs money.  Have no fear- I have another tool that does the same work of foiling any follies with PDFs, and it’s free.  Read on.

  • Need to take out one or more pages from a PDF document like my client?
  • Want to send a PDF, but its file size is bigger than the Sahara desert?
  • Need to sign a PDF, but don’t want the hassle of printing it off and, then scanning and resending?
  • In a pickle and need to unlock a PDF?

ILovePDF has your back.

This free, easy peasy online tool has saved my bacon many a time.  I always share loads of resources with workshop participants, but I don’t want to clog up the intertubes with massive file sizes, so I use it to reduce the file size.  (PowerPoint presentations are especially good at being astonishingly huge file sizes until ILovepdf gets its hands on them.)

This tool covers anything you can think of needing to do with a PDF. A.N.Y.T.H.I.N.G.

Here are 18 nope, make that 24 ways now to use it:

Convert PDFs

  • PDF to jpg
  • Word to PDF and vice versa
  • PDF to PowerPoint and vice versa
  • Excel to PDF and vice versa

  • HTML to PDF

Optimize PDFS

  • Compress PDFs (reduce their size, which is my fav)
  • Repair PDFs (this one sounds intriguing!)

Edit PDFs

In addition to bringing loads of ease, there is a big bonus when you start using IlovePDF

By decreasing file sizes you send by email, you make the file accessible to more people who don’t necessarily have easy access to the Internet and/or have to pay outrageous prices for said intertubes.
