PDF Tools

Aoexl includes a public browser-based PDF tools surface for quick utility work that does not require a full signing flow.

Public Entry Point

• app route: /tools
• hosted URL: https://aoexl.com/tools

These tools are designed for lightweight self-serve use and run directly in the browser.

Available Tools

• Images to PDF
• Merge PDFs
• Split PDF
• Compress PDF
• Add Watermark
• Redact PDF
• Compare Documents

Privacy Model

The current tools flow is client-side:

• PDFs are loaded from the local device into the browser
• processing happens in-browser
• output files are downloaded back to the user

This keeps the tools useful as a public utility surface without requiring an authenticated dashboard session.

Current Scope

Use the tools page when you need quick document manipulation.

Use the signing product when you need:

• signer fields
• hosted signing links
• templates
• reminders
• audit trails
• completion artifacts
