PDFgear

Almost everyone is familiar with how PDFs work: after all, if you're working with documents digitally, you're most likely working with PDFs. Mainstream PDF tools do well to provide pretty much anything you need in terms of functionality, but if you're on the lookout for a versatile and intuitive tool, you might be tempted by what PDFgear has to offer.

It isn't the most complex piece of software you'll see, but it's sufficiently packed with relevant features for a multitude of PDF-related workflows. Convert your documents to and from many extensions, merge or split certain PDF files, and compress what you need to save up on storage.

The program seeks to deliver users a one-stop shop solution for the user's PDF needs, and the overall interface design makes the program very accessible to anyone looking to optimize working with documents.

The first few options that are presented to you concern conversion operations: quick conversion across several formats is possible, and the program will do quick work of any such task without a problem. Whether you're converting to or from Word, Excel, or even an image extension like PNG and JPEG, the tool's got you covered. Everything about this process is straightforward, as the software guides you each step of the way.

The real optimization starts here: merging multiple documents together into a larger one is made possible by the Merge function. Conversely, the Split function works to trim a document.

As for the compression functionalities, they're just as straightforward. Add your files, then specify your desired compression level. You can save up quite a bit of space through this, so users working with big documents will appreciate this function.

The program affords users the possibility to view PDFs, which makes the experience more cohesive.

PDFgear is a solid PDF tool, helpful for those looking to optimize PDF-centric workflows.
