What is Sejda?
Sejda is a set of PDF tools that runs in the browser, with a desktop version as well. It can do the usual jobs such as merging, splitting and compressing, and it also has an editor that can change existing text in a PDF and add text, links, images and shapes.
It goes further on the fiddly tasks: splitting by bookmarks, size or a change in text, alternately mixing pages from two documents, cropping, adding watermarks, creating fillable forms, and converting to and from formats such as Excel. You can start with no account, and the free tier has limits on pages, file size and hourly use.
