Do more with PDFs with PDFcandy

The Tool



About the Tool
PDF Candy provides free online and offline tools for working with PDF files (converting, splitting, merging, rotating, etc.).

How to Use the Tool
Users simply need to visit pdfcandy.com and then click the icon corresponding to the tool they want to access.  PDF candy can perform such actions as convert PDF to word, rearrange pages in a PDF, extract images from a PDF, etc.  Files can be uploaded from Dropbox, Google Drive or simply by drag and dropping them.

Why I like it
After teaching for 18 years I have amassed A LOT of resources...and back in the day many of them are PDF.  While I may not want to use an entire resource, I often find I want to use parts of PDFs. PDFcandy allows me to have digital copies of these PDFs that I can manipulate for my own use (with credit given of course).

Two uses in education
  1. Extract information from PDFs that you can manipulate
  2. Create PDFs of your own work so that it can’t be manipulated
