What types of files can you create a searchable PDF from?

YES We routinely install on every PC a ‘FREEWare’ product we like called PDF reDirect (there are several other completing tools too) that allows you to select it as a printer from any application that can print, and then starts-up the PDF reDirect software to create a PDF with a name you prefer and a location you navigate to. Features of PDF reDirect that are relevant to your “…create a PDF file from another PDF file…” request include the ability to be viewing a PDF inside a viewer like ‘Type Into Pdf Reader DC’ and then choosing to print only selected pages that themselves become a PDF. Another feature of PDF reDirect is the ability to merge selected PDFs together into a larger PDF file. PS There’s nothing special about the resulting PDF files except that t have fewer or more pages than the PDF files used to create them.

PDF documents can be cumbersome to edit, especially when you need to change the text or sign a form. However, working with PDFs is made beyond-easy and highly productive with the right tool.

How to Type On PDF with minimal effort on your side:

  1. Add the document you want to edit — choose any convenient way to do so.

Type on PDF: All You Need to Know

However, if you wish to save this created PDF, then the easiest way is to create multiple different PDFs with different characteristics, then merge them when they are saved. You can read the documentation about creating PDF from PDFs at: (PDF_redirect) (PDF_redirect_README.pdf) PS You can also create another printable version that fits inside a .pdf file (or a .png, doc, CSV, TXT, and others) with the same features, but that has all the images inside the PDF file, and you do not need to use the Adobe Acrobat Reader. The advantages of PDF redirect include: more convenience for creating new PDFs, reduced time required for creating them than without a tool (in most cases), no need to have two applications open to use the same PDF file, no need to be running a desktop application to use PDF redirect (except for merging a PDF with other PDFs as described above),.
