Use this for scanned PDFs where rebuilding each readable page as a fresh image-based PDF is acceptable.
Pages are rasterized, cleaned and rebuilt into a simplified document. This can remove troublesome structural complexity from scans.
Raster rebuilding does not preserve searchable/selectable text unless a separate OCR layer is later added.
Repair a troublesome scanned PDF by raster-cleaning every readable page and rebuilding the document into a fresh simplified PDF entirely in the browser.
The focused PDF Tools workspace is designed for a single job at a time. It does not require an account and does not add a FileCarpenter watermark to the downloaded result.
