DoKit
DoKit is an online document toolkit for processing PDFs and converting documents to and from PDF.
What DoKit is
DoKit is an online document toolkit for processing PDFs and converting documents to and from PDF. Its tools include merging, splitting, compressing, protecting, and unlocking PDFs. The merge tool combines multiple files into one PDF, accepts formats including PDF, JPEG, DOC, PPT, XLS, and TXT, and lets users set their order. The split tool extracts selected pages into separate files or divides a PDF into equal-sized chunks. An Eco tool converts documents to grayscale and smaller paper sizes for printing. DoKit runs in a browser without requiring software installation. It offers free use for visitors without an account and for registered users, alongside a paid Premium account; functionality may depend on user type. The terms specify automatic file deletion after processing: 15 minutes for merge, split, and compress files, 24 hours for PDF edits, and 60 minutes for other files by default. DoKit says its tool pages use SSL and do not store files, while its terms reserve access to uploaded content for certain service and support purposes.
