[Tips and Tricks]

●Here are some features and tips I found particularly useful:

1. Directly convert scanned PDFs into editable text (OCR done with one click): Open the PDF → Click “Document → OCR” → Select language → One-click recognition. Especially suitable for organizing paper documents, textbooks, and contracts.

2. Directly “edit text in PDFs” as smoothly as Word: Select “Content Editing Tools” in the toolbar → Click on the text → Directly type and edit. Compared to Adobe, the experience is lighter and faster.

3. “Extract specific pages” from a PDF to generate a separate file: “Page Thumbnails” on the right → Select the desired pages → Right-click: Extract pages, reduce report content, and only extract key information. An essential office skill.

4. One-click removal of PDF watermarks (only effective for editable objects): Document → “Watermark” → Remove all watermarks. Many automatically generated corporate watermarks can be removed instantly.

5. Batch convert images to PDF (supports drag-and-drop generation): Simply drag multiple images into the window → Automatically merge them into a PDF. You can also adjust the compression level, resulting in a very small file size.

6. PDF Batch Processor (processes hundreds of pages in seconds): File → Batch Processing
supports batch compression, batch page numbering, batch watermarking, and batch format conversion, instantly doubling office efficiency.
