Best PDF tool for merging and compressing files?

[PixelNomad]

Hey everyone, I’m looking for a good PDF tool and could use some advice. I work with PDFs almost daily — contracts, invoices, reports, random files clients send me — and it’s getting annoying to jump between different tools. Most of the time I need to merge several PDFs into one, compress large files for email, or quickly check/edit something without installing heavy software. I’ve tried a few online tools, but some add watermarks, others limit file size, and a few just feel sketchy. Ideally, I want something web-based, simple, and reliable. What are you guys using for everyday PDF tasks?

That’s a fair concern, and honestly, not all online converters are created equal. I wouldn’t upload sensitive documents to random sites either. What I usually look for is a clean interface, clear information about file handling, and tools that don’t force you to create an account for basic conversions. I’ve been using an online PDF converter for Word ↔ PDF and Excel ↔ PDF conversions for quite a while now, mostly for non-confidential files. It’s fast, works directly in the browser, and doesn’t add weird watermarks. If you’re curious, this is the one I use most often: https://example-pdf-converter.com As always, for very sensitive files, offline tools are safer, but for everyday work this has been fine for me.
