Make PDF — Readable or Unreadable

Create readable PDFs with selectable text or unreadable PDFs with rasterised pages.

Last updated: January 2, 2025

This is not your normal PDF creator tool — it contains two distinct modules.

Make Readable PDF

This module creates a PDF from the given input while ensuring that selectable text remains selectable in the output. Ideal for document archiving and sharing where text extraction matters.

Make Unreadable PDF

This module creates a PDF by turning each page into an image before assembling them back into a single PDF. The result has non-selectable text.

You can set the quality of each page individually.


Create PDF from Master ZIP

WARNING
Create a zip file containing other zip files before passing it to the shortcut. Only then this option will work.

This is a niche automation tool. The process:

  1. Unzips the master ZIP file
  2. Unzips each inner ZIP
  3. Combines the contents of each inner ZIP into individual PDFs
  4. Merges all PDFs into a single document

The tool maintains the order of objects alphabetically by name. For example, a ZIP starting with A will be processed first, and within that, objects starting with A come first.

Pretty useful for automating the creation of a single PDF from a combination of ZIP archives.
