What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 9, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

• pdf_inspect

  List a PDF's AcroForm form fields — names, types, options, current values, per-field maxLength where declared — plus a paste-ready fillTemplate object for pdf_fill and a hasXFA flag (hybrid AcroForm/XFA inputs lose their XFA layer when filled). A PDF with no fillable form returns

• pdf_fill

  Fill AcroForm form fields in a PDF and return the result. Field names must exist in the PDF (use pdf_inspect first). All values are strings; checkboxes take "true"/"false"; dropdown/radio/optionlist values must be one of the field's options; text values must respect the field's m

• pdf_merge

  Merge two or more PDFs into one, in the order given, and return the result. Sources are read only and never modified. Returns the merged PDF inline as an application/pdf resource. This tool only concatenates whole documents: it does not reorder, rotate or delete pages within them

• pdf_invoice

  Generate a complete, professionally laid-out invoice PDF from structured data — no template needed. Deterministic: the same input produces byte-identical output (safe to re-run). Note: without a paid PDFops key the output carries a small "Generated with pdfops.dev" footer line. R

• pdfops_usage

  Check the current PDFops API quota for the configured key: tier, limit, used, remaining, the billing period, and the reset timestamp. Read-only and safe to call before a batch to confirm there is headroom. Uses the API key this connection authenticated with.

• pdf_extract_pages

  Keep only the listed pages of a PDF, in the order given, and return them as a new PDF. Because order follows the spec, it also reorders pages ("3,1,2") and can duplicate them. Use this to pull a section out of a document; use pdf_delete_pages to remove pages instead, pdf_split fo

• pdf_delete_pages

  Remove the listed pages from a PDF and return the remaining pages in their original order. Use this to drop a cover, blank or sensitive pages; use pdf_extract_pages when it is easier to name the pages to keep. Returns the result inline as an application/pdf resource; the source i

• pdf_rotate

  Rotate pages of a PDF clockwise by 90, 180 or 270 degrees (or -90). Rotation adds to each page's existing rotation. Omit pages to rotate every page. Use this to fix sideways scans. Returns the result inline as an application/pdf resource; the source is never modified.

• pdf_split

  Split one PDF into several PDFs, either by explicit ranges (each comma group becomes one part: "1-2,3-5" gives two parts) or into fixed-size chunks (every=2 on 5 pages gives 1-2, 3-4, 5). Give exactly one of ranges or every. Returns each part inline as an application/pdf resource

• pdf_watermark

  Stamp a diagonal text watermark on pages of a PDF (default: centered, 45 degrees, grey, 15% opacity). Text is upright and centered for any page size or existing page rotation. Standard Helvetica only: characters outside WinAnsi (e.g. CJK, emoji) fail with unsupported_characters.

• pdf_page_numbers

  Print page numbers on a PDF using a format template with {n} (page number) and {total} (page count), e.g. "Page {n} of {total}". Default is "{n} / {total}" at bottom-center, 10 pt. Numbers sit upright for any page size or rotation. Standard Helvetica only (WinAnsi characters). Pa

• pdf_unlock

  Save a PDF without encryption so print/copy/modify restrictions are gone. Works for owner-locked files (empty user password) with no password, and for user-password files when you pass the password. It does NOT crack unknown passwords: a wrong or missing user password fails with

• pdf_protect

  Encrypt a PDF with a password. user_password is required to open the result; owner_password lifts the permission restrictions. Give at least one (each 1 to 32 Latin-1 chars). permissions lists what stays ALLOWED from print, copy, modify, annotate, fill-forms (default all, except

• pdf_metadata

  Read a PDF's document info: page_count, per-page width/height (points) and rotation, title, author, subject, keywords, creator, producer, creation_date, modification_date (ISO 8601, null when absent), whether it was encrypted, and has_form / form_field_count. Call this to learn a

• pdf_set_metadata

  Write document info fields (title, author, subject, creator, keywords) into a PDF. Give at least one; an empty string sets an empty value. Unicode is fine. Keywords may be a list or a comma-separated string. The output is saved unencrypted. Use pdf_metadata to read the current va
