Introducing PDF Scratchpad: Your Offline-Capable PDF Companion
The Missing Link in PDF Workflows
If you work with PDFs frequently, you know the struggle: you extract some text from a document, and then... where do you put it? You probably open a completely separate app like Notepad, Apple Notes, or Word just to temporarily store a few sentences.
We realized there was a gap in our ecosystem. You come to OnlinePDFPro to manage your PDFs, but you still had to leave our site to manage the content of those PDFs. Not anymore.
Meet PDF Scratchpad
Today, we're thrilled to introduce PDF Scratchpad, a brand new tool built directly into OnlinePDFPro. It's a clean, fast, and completely private online notepad designed to live side-by-side with your PDF workflow.
Just like all our other tools, the Scratchpad runs 100% in your browser. Nothing you type is ever uploaded to our servers.
Key Features
- 📝 Multiple Notes: Create, rename, and delete as many notes as you need using the intuitive sidebar.
- 💾 Auto-Save: Never lose your work. The Scratchpad saves your text automatically to your browser's local storage as you type.
- 🔌 Offline Capable: Since it's a Progressive Web App (PWA), you can use the Scratchpad even when your internet goes down.
- 📊 Built-in Counters: Keep track of your length with real-time word and character counts.
- 📥 Easy Export: Download any of your notes instantly as a clean
.txtfile.
