Kitcroft · PDF workbench
Edit, merge, and compress PDFs — in this tab.
Three jobs people actually run, without a 3-tasks-an-hour wall. Files never leave the device. Ads in the reserved frames keep every tool free.
The three most-used tools
Same trio Sejda puts first: editor, merge, compress. Here they run locally, so merge-then-compress does not spend two of three hourly tokens.

Private by architecture
There is no upload pipeline. Close the tab and the bytes are gone.
No task meter
Merge, then edit, then compress in one sitting. Nothing clocks out.
Works after the page loads
Once the app is open, processing does not wait on a job queue.

Questions
- What are the three most-used PDF tools?
- Edit, merge, and compress. They lead Sejda’s “most popular” list and match the highest-volume jobs in every public PDF suite: fix a page, stack files, shrink a scan.
- Do you rewrite existing PDF text like a word processor?
- The editor overlays new text, images, signatures, and highlights, then writes them into the file. That is the honest in-browser model. True content-stream rewriting is a different product.
- Will you add ads?
- Frames are already reserved around the tools, never over the canvas. Drop network tags into those slots when you are ready — the layout already holds the space.
