XenPDF

A Windows desktop utility for working with PDF files. One-time purchase. Runs on Windows 10 and later.

What it does

Merge

Add PDF files, reorder them, and save the result as a new combined PDF. Source files are not modified.

Slice

Specify a page range and extract or delete those pages. Output is saved as a new file. The original is not modified.

Protect

Encrypt a PDF with AES-128 password protection. Restrict printing, copying, or editing. Decrypt or change a password in one step.

Technical details

  • All operations run locally using lopdf. No files are sent anywhere.
  • Encryption uses AES-128 per the PDF 1.6 standard.
  • Output is always written to a new file. The input is never overwritten.
  • Merge preserves page content and dimensions.
  • Merge does not merge bookmarks, form fields, or annotations.
  • Slice operates on page indices. It does not reflow or re-render content.
  • Binary size is under 15 MB. Cold launch is under 100ms on modern hardware.

What it does not do

  • Edit text or images inside a PDF
  • Perform OCR
  • Fill or create forms
