| Remove an extra page | Delete the page and download the new PDF |
| Send only one page of a longer document | Extract that page into its own PDF |
| Put a cover letter and resume in one file | Merge the two PDFs in the order you want |
| Put pages in a different order | Reorder the pages by dragging thumbnails |
| Add a short line, such as a date, on top of a page | Add text to the page |
| Fix a page scanned sideways or with big margins | Rotate or crop the PDF |
Why PDFDistrict doesn’t convert PDF to Word
Turning a finished PDF back into an editable Word file needs layout reconstruction, and PDFDistrict does not offer it; it can add new text on top of a page, but not rewrite what is already there. Converters that do usually upload your file to a server, which matters for a document full of personal details. The cleanest route is almost always the original file you exported the PDF from.
Keep the original file
Save the Word or Docs version of your resume next to the PDF. When a job ad asks for a different emphasis, edit the source, export a fresh PDF and use the page-level tools only for packaging (cover letter, certificates, references).
PDFDistrict is a free, browser-based PDF toolkit that processes files locally — files are never uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
How do I edit a PDF resume for free?
Edit the original Word or Google Docs file and export it as a PDF again. If you only have the PDF, you can change its pages (delete, reorder, merge, extract) in PDFDistrict, but not its text.
Can I convert a PDF to Word with PDFDistrict?
No. PDFDistrict does not convert PDF to Word and cannot change the text already inside a PDF; it can add new text on top of a page.
How do I send just one page of my CV?
Use the Extract tool: click the page you want and download it as its own PDF.
How do I add a cover letter to my resume PDF?
Use the Merge tool: add the cover letter PDF and the resume PDF, put them in order and merge.
