How it works

Drop, choose, download

No software to install, no settings to hunt for: drop the file, pick a tool, done.

  1. 1

    Drop and check

    Drag PDFs, Office files or images into the helper. The file check instantly shows pages, size, fonts, form fields and protection – and Alex tells you what stands out.

  2. 2

    Pick a tool

    Merge in the order you want, select pages by clicking the preview, compress several files at once: each tool shows only what you really need.

  3. 3

    Alex lays out your text

    Paste text from an email or note – Alex detects headings, lists and tables and turns it into a clean PDF. Word for word, without inventing anything.

  4. 4

    Download – and gone

    You download the result. Then we delete the file right away, after 60 minutes at the latest. Processing happens on our own server in the EU.

More than merging

The PDF jobs that usually get left behind

Signing, laying out text, protecting files – the things you would otherwise need expensive software or a dubious website for.

Signing

Insert your signature instead of printing and scanning

Draw your signature with mouse or finger, or upload an image. Then drag it to the right spot – plus place, date or ticks in boxes.

  • Place by dragging, on any page
  • The signature is not stored
  • Digital signature with your own certificate possible

Text to PDF

Pasted text becomes a clean document

Minutes, quote or info sheet: Alex structures the text into headings, paragraphs, lists and tables. You just choose the design.

  • Three designs: modern, classic, compact
  • Content stays word for word – nothing is invented
  • Tables even from lists with semicolons or tabs

Security

Protect, unlock, sign

Set a password, restrict printing, copying or editing – or remove a protection whose password you know. Your files are kept only as long as necessary.

  • AES-256 encryption
  • Certificates and passwords are not stored
  • Deleted after download, after 60 minutes at the latest

Also

Everything for everyday office work

Merge, split, reorder

Combine several PDFs in the order you want, split a file by pages or ranges, delete or extract pages – by clicking the preview.

ISO and US paper sizes

Bring pages to A4, A3, A5, Letter or Legal – proportionally, without distortion.

Compress

Three levels, also for several files at once. If it does not get smaller, the original stays.

Make searchable

Text recognition for scans in German and English – then search and copy.

Several pages per sheet

2, 4, 6, 8, 9 or 16 pages on one sheet – saves paper when printing.

Fill in forms

Fields are detected and shown as an input form. Without fields, you simply put text and ticks directly on the page.

Page numbers, margins, grayscale

Page numbers in seven positions, add or crop margins, colours to grayscale.

Office to PDF

Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, text and images become PDFs.

Before / after

No more printing, signing and scanning

Small PDF tasks eat up a surprising amount of time. With PDF Helper they are done in seconds.

Without PDF Helper

  • Print, sign, scan again
  • Attachment too large for email
  • Uploading files to unknown websites
  • Expensive software for a few clicks
  • Nothing can be searched in scans

With PDF Helper

  • Insert your signature by dragging
  • Much smaller with one click
  • Own server, deleted after download
  • Free in every Automagio account
  • Scans become searchable

Questions

What you want to know first

Short, straight answers. If yours is missing, just ask us.

How much does PDF Helper cost?

PDF Helper is free in every Automagio account. Currently 30 jobs per person and day are possible, 15 of them with structuring by Alex.

What happens to my files?

Files are processed on our own PDF server in the EU. We delete them right after download, at the latest 60 minutes after last use. We do not store certificates, passwords or signatures.

Which files can I upload?

PDF, Word (.doc, .docx, .odt, .rtf, .txt), Excel (.xls, .xlsx, .ods, .csv), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx, .odp) plus JPG and PNG – up to 50 MB per file.

Is the digital signature legally valid?

You sign with your own certificate (.p12 or .pfx). How much evidential weight the signature has depends on your certificate – a qualified certificate gives a stronger signature than a self-issued one.

Can PDF Helper crack a forgotten password?

No. You can only remove protection if you know the password. If only editing is restricted, it works without one.

What does Alex do with text to PDF?

Alex structures the pasted text into headings, paragraphs, lists and tables. The content stays word for word. If you like, you can turn structuring off – then the text is set as a simple document.

Which languages does text recognition support?

German and English, also mixed. Pages that already contain text stay unchanged.
