Free PDF tools for hr & people teams
HR teams handle some of the most sensitive PDFs in the company — offer letters, signed handbooks, ID copies, benefits enrolments. Docverix runs every tool in the browser by default, so nothing about a candidate or employee leaves the tab. The Platform tier handles the signature + audit side when offer-letter delivery becomes a real workflow.
You probably already do this
The jobs the free tools cover
- Combining a signed offer letter + signed NDA + signed handbook into one onboarding PDF for the employee file
- Splitting a stack of scanned ID photos into per-employee folders
- Compressing a policy handbook so it actually fits in the new-hire welcome email
- Adding a manager's signature to an internal approval PDF before sending to payroll
- Converting a Word policy doc into a final-form PDF that can't be edited downstream

Scenarios
How each job maps to a tool
Signed offer + NDA + handbook → one file
Three signed PDFs come back from a new hire; merge them in onboarding order, save as 'employee-name-onboarding.pdf', drop into the file. One canonical record per hire.
Word policy → PDF that can't be edited
Take the .docx policy from Legal, convert to PDF preserving fonts, headings, links, and tables. The shareable version is read-only and identical across viewers.
Manager signature on an internal approval
Drop the approval PDF into the editor, pick the signature tool, type or upload the manager's signature, save. The signature is baked into the page — verifiable in any PDF viewer.
Scanned ID batch → per-employee files
A flatbed scanner gave you one PDF with 30 ID photos. Use Extract single pages to get 30 separate files; rename each by employee.
Handbook → emailable size
A 50-page policy handbook with screenshots and diagrams compresses to 30–50% of its original size at Balanced quality. Fits in the new-hire welcome email without splitting into parts.
When the Platform fits
Honest take on the paid upgrade
When offer-letter delivery becomes a real workflow — multiple approvers, scheduled sends, signed audit trails, parallel handling of dozens of hires per cycle. The Docverix Platform handles the routed signature flow with role-based access (HR → comp → exec) and an audit log that survives a wrongful-termination dispute.
