PDF Acrobatics

Optimize your PDF with Brian's professional skills. Whether you need to reduce file size, remove unnecessary pages, extract specific pages, or secure your documents, Brian offers comprehensive solutions for all your PDF needs.

Trouble?

For troubleshooting, consider the following:

  • Please share with Brian the actual file(s) – not a link (e.g. to sharepoint), Brian has no access to your file system
  • With exception of file merger, please attach one file only – if you have more files, trigger more requests
  • Files having characters like % \ / : * ? ” < > | # in their file names are not supported on MS Teams
  • Brian handles files of up to 50 MB depending on communication channel
  • Sometimes PDF documents are protected from modification even if you don’t see it. So if Brian tells you the file is encrypted, he can not handle it. However, you can try printing the encrypted file as a regular PDF and then attempt to send it to Brian
