PDF Bench
You have three PDFs that should be one, a form that wants signing, and a document with your home address quietly buried in its metadata — and the usual fix is to hand all of it to a website you've never met. The PDF Bench does those jobs on your own machine instead. Drag pages to merge and reorder them, sign with your own hand, strip the metadata that rides along uninvited, and export one clean file. Nothing is uploaded, because there is nowhere to upload it to.
This is not a screenshot. It's the real Blade, running right here — go on, put something in it. Its tabs feed each other; try one, then look at the next.
Questions people ask
Does my document get uploaded anywhere?
No. The whole Bench — reading, merging, signing, exporting — runs inside your knife, on your machine. There is no server, so there is nothing for your document to be sent to. Pull out your network cable and it works exactly the same, which is rather the point.
Can it edit the text inside a PDF, like a word processor?
No, and it doesn't pretend to. A PDF is positioned glyphs rather than a document you can reflow — even the big paid tools struggle with it. The Bench does the quick fixes people actually reach for: merge, reorder, rotate, delete, sign, and strip metadata. To rewrite the words, go back to whatever made the original.
What does 'strip metadata' actually remove?
The quiet passengers: the author name, the title, the software that made the file, the timestamps. Tick the box before you export and the Bench clears them, so the document you send carries only what's on the page — not a record of who made it, when, or with what.
