PDF Toolbox is a free, MIT-licensed Windows desktop application by ALMARFELD for working with PDF copies locally. Merge, split, extract and rotate pages; reorder, duplicate or remove pages in a reviewable export plan with session undo. Convert JPG, PNG and BMP images to PDF or PDF pages to PNG/JPEG.
Version 1.1.0 adds PDF-to-Excel/CSV table extraction from selectable text: choose pages, find tables, review a preview and export a copy. XLSX stores cells as text to preserve leading zeros and long identifiers. CSV offers optional apostrophe protection for formula-like values; spreadsheet import can still reinterpret data. Detection is heuristic and requires review; there is no OCR. Optional joining of consecutive pages retains repeated headers.
Other tools edit document metadata in a copy, add watermarks and page numbers, protect copies with PDF AES-128 encryption or unlock with valid credentials, and compress eligible streams without rasterization. Equal or larger compression results are discarded. Sources are not overwritten. Page operations can discard bookmarks or other document structures; signed PDFs are not rewritten and page-editing tools refuse interactive forms. There is no direct PDF text editing or general batch workflow.
Self-contained portable ZIP for Windows 10 version 2004 or later / Windows 11 x64. Extract the whole archive and run PDFToolbox.exe. No separate .NET runtime or WebView2 is required. No uploads, accounts, telemetry or automatic downloads. The executable is not Authenticode signed. This is separate from similarly named products by other developers.
