Alternatives to Xodo

PDF Candy, run by Icecream Apps Ltd., offers online PDF tools for merging, splitting, compressing, editing and converting PDFs, including PDF to Word and OCR. Its free plan works without an account but has page and hourly limits, a limited file size and no batch processing, and the site states that uploaded files and results are kept for no longer than two hours. A paid plan lifts the hourly limits, and a separate Windows desktop version works offline.
