PDF guides and how-tos

Step-by-step advice for everyday PDF jobs, written for the tools on this site and tested with real files.

These guides answer the questions people bring to PDF Karigar most often: why an upload portal keeps rejecting a file, how to open a password-protected statement, how to get a bank statement into Excel, and how to sign or scan papers without a printer. Each one walks through the job with the free tools on this site, explains what to check before you send the result, and says plainly where a tool has limits.

Every tool mentioned runs inside your browser, so the documents these guides deal with, such as ID cards, certificates, payslips and bank statements, stay on your own phone or computer.
