If you want to create the PDF from Excel files Word, or JPEG or PNG images or URLs – it can do that online. So basically, we just need to give the URL of the HTML file.

If you want to split PDF or if you want to merge PDF – these are also included. Also, if you want to convert the document or images to PDF – it is fast and easy. If you want to convert the PDF to text or JPEG file – you will see these features. If you have the webpage and you want to convert it to PDF by using the restful API, it provides different conversions like PDF to XML or TIFF file.

It also provides the support to make PDF searchable like if you have the scan version of it and if you want to basically need to make the un-scanned version where you can search text or select text. When PDF has images inside, it will handle that very beautifully.
