Quick PDF Tools

Quick PDF Tools, developed by Debenu Pty. Ltd., is a free Windows utility designed for efficient PDF file management. The latest version, 2.1.6.1, is impressively compact, with a program file size of just 22.7 MB. This office tool falls under the document management subcategory and is compatible with a wide range of Operating Systems, including Windows XP, XP Professional, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11.

The installation of Quick PDF Tools introduces additional commands to the context menu in Windows Explorer. By right-clicking on a PDF file and selecting the 'Quick PDF Tools' option, users can access a myriad of useful features without having to open the program through a traditional interface. Key functionalities include the ability to preview PDF documents instantly, merge multiple PDF files, and convert images to PDF or PDF to images and text. You can also edit properties like Title, Author, Subject, and Keywords for single or multiple files all at once, and add and edit custom metadata and open passwords.

Moreover, Quick PDF Tools can extract text and images from PDFs, remove or list bookmarks, and view security document restrictions. The program files used are pdf24-Fax.exe, PDFTools.exe, QuickPDFTools.exe, Roxio_Central33.exe, and Roxio_Central36.exe. Users looking for previous versions can find them labeled as 2.1, 1.4, and 1.3.

A notable drawback is the inability to customize the submenu, which means users cannot remove less frequently used options or prioritize more commonly used features. Despite this, the tool remains particularly valuable for those who handle PDF documents regularly.
