PDF Preflight Tools

Free tools for easier mailings

Working With PDFs Made Easy

More than a handy feature. This free tool can make PDFs a breeze.

PDF Preflight

  • Access: You can access the PreFlight tool from My Account >PDF Tools
  • Overlay Information: Submit PDF returns a new version of document with overlays
  • Minimum Margin Guidelines: Shows required minimum margins
  • Address Specification: Provides guidelines for placement
  • Display Dimension Option: Add measurement labels to your overlay
The PDF PreFlight tool overlays key information onto the first page of your PDF document. This helps ensure proper address placement, eliminates the need for system-generated coversheets, improves statement formatting, and can help reduce mailing costs. It is particularly useful if your documents already contain recipient and return address details.

Extract Pages from Set

The Extract Pages feature within our PDF tools allows you to extract specific pages from multi-page PDF sets.
  • Set Page Groups: Define groups of pages to extract
  • Extract Specific Pages: Option to extract specific pages from each group
  • Range Extraction: If you leave “Pages per Set” option empty, you can extract a range

Shift PDF Content

The Shift PDF Contents feature allows you to move the content of your PDF document up, down, left, or right by specified measurements (in inches). This tool is ideal for aligning mispositioned documents, ensuring that the content is properly placed within the document layout. By using this feature, you can make precise adjustments to the positioning of text, images, and other elements within your PDF, which can be particularly helpful when preparing documents for mailing to ensure everything fits correctly.

Join Multiple PDFs

The Join Multiple PDFs feature allows you to combine multiple PDF files into a single document. This can be particularly useful for simplifying your mailing process and reducing the number of jobs you need to manage.
  • Upload Order: Upload your PDFs in order you want them
  • Combining Up to 10 PDFs
  • Blank Pages for Duplex Printing: If any PDFs have an odd page count and you are printing duplex (double-sided), you can add blank pages for proper duplexing

Convert Color to BW

The Convert Color PDF to B&W feature allows you to change full-color PDF documents into black and white. This is particularly useful for reducing printing costs, as black and white printing is generally less expensive than color printing.

PDF Rotate File

The PDF Rotate feature allows you to rotate pages within your PDF file in either a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. This can be useful for correcting the orientation of pages that may have been uploaded incorrectly. You can choose the direction of rotation based on your needs.

Extract Addresses from PDF

The Extract Addresses feature allows you to upload a PDF that contains recipient addresses, such as mailing labels. The tool extracts these addresses into a CSV file format, which can then be used for mailings. This is particularly useful for organizing and managing recipient information efficiently.
