The pages look exactly the same — the recognised words are added invisibly on top — and the result works in PDF to Word, PDF to Excel, the AI Summarizer and Redact. Everything runs in your browser; the file is never uploaded, and there is a step-by-step guide in the PDF guides.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-27-pdf-to-excelPDF to Excel2026-09-27T00:00:00ZTurn the tables in a PDF — bank statements, invoices, price lists — into an Excel workbook.

It runs in your browser, so the file is never uploaded, and there is a step-by-step guide in the PDF guides.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-26-filipino-pages-have-their-ownFilipino pages have their own addresses2026-09-26T00:00:00ZEvery page in Filipino now lives at its own address starting with /fil — for example pdf-tool-ph.com/fil/tools/merge — so you can bookmark or share a page in Filipino, and search engines can show it to people searching in Filipino. Your language choice is remembered, and switching language keeps the file you have open.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-26-common-questions-on-every-toolCommon questions on every tool page2026-09-26T00:00:00ZEach tool page now answers the questions people ask before using it — whether it is free, whether it keeps the quality of your file, and what it cannot do — in English and Filipino, right below the tool.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-26-reopen-documents-you-saved-inReopen documents you saved in Edit PDF2026-09-26T00:00:00ZThe Edit PDF start screen now lists the documents you saved on this device, with their page count and when you saved them.

Only characters the original font doesn't have fall back to a similar font. Text you didn't touch stays exactly as it was, and pages stay sharp and selectable instead of turning into images.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-26-new-and-existing-text-nowNew and existing text now work the same in Edit PDF2026-09-26T00:00:00ZText you add and text already in the PDF now share one editor: drag the handles to move or resize, double-click to edit, and use Duplicate, Strikethrough, alignment and the other text tools on either.

The tool detects which modes apply, explains the tradeoffs before processing, and keeps the entire job on your device.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-09-a-dedicated-delete-pages-toolA dedicated Delete Pages tool2026-09-09T00:00:00ZPick pages to remove from a visual grid, across one PDF or several — add another file at any point and its pages join the same working set, clearly labelled by source.

Runs entirely on your device.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-08-tell-the-new-pdf-assistantTell the new PDF Assistant what to do2026-09-08T00:00:00ZUse familiar tool shortcuts or a plain-language instruction to compress, convert to Word or images, rotate, split, crop, extract pages, remove pages, or add a watermark. Safe actions run locally inside the chat and return their downloads there; tools that need another file, a visual selection, or a password open their dedicated screen. Unsupported tools and conversion formats now receive a clear answer instead of being silently substituted.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-05-a-full-screen-pdf-chatA full-screen PDF chat workspace2026-09-05T00:00:00ZUploading a PDF opens a spacious chat workspace beneath the site header, with a collapsible page-preview rail, independently scrolling conversation, and pinned chat input.

The words are deleted from the file itself rather than covered with a black box, so nothing can be copied out from underneath. Where an area lands on a photo or an unreadable font, that page is flattened to an image instead — which removes it just as completely, and the tool tells you which pages.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-03-crop-pdf-trim-margins-withoutCrop PDF — trim margins without losing quality2026-09-03T00:00:00ZDrag a frame over the page to cut away margins or page furniture, with presets for A4, Letter and square, and a "remove margins" button that finds the content for you. Use one crop for the whole document, or a different one on every page for scans. Only the page boundaries change, so text stays selectable and nothing is re-rendered.https://pdf-tool-ph.com/whats-new#2026-09-03-keep-your-most-used-toolsKeep your most-used tools one tap away2026-09-03T00:00:00ZTap the star on any tool to make it a favourite.
