PDF tools for estate agents & conveyancers

Meet planning portal and lender upload limits

Most UK planning portals cap uploads at 2MB, 5MB or 10MB per file, and lender and mortgage portals are rarely more generous — yet a scanned survey or a site plan exported from CAD routinely lands at 30MB or more. Set a target size and the compressor downsamples embedded images and subsets fonts to hit it while keeping vector line work sharp, so a case officer can still read dimensions and annotations on screen.

Compression happens after conversion, not instead of it: convert the DWG or DOCX first, then compress the PDF to the portal's ceiling. That order keeps drawing linework vector-based instead of flattening it into a blurry raster.

Split title packs, deeds and search results

Registered title packs, deed plans, local authority searches and environmental reports usually arrive from the Land Registry or a search provider as one long scan. Split by page range, by every N pages, or extract a single schedule to produce per-document files a lender or client portal will accept.

Splitting never re-compresses or re-renders the pages, so image quality and any existing OCR text layer are carried into each output file — important when the pack later has to be searched for a covenant or an easement.

Convert, sign and label property paperwork

Convert EPCs, tenancy agreements, inventories and AML documents between Word, Excel and PDF; turn photographed condition reports into a single dated PDF with a searchable text layer; and sign or initial agreements without printing. Watermarking marks drafts and valuations “DRAFT” or “CONFIDENTIAL” before they circulate.

Scanned documents can be made searchable with OCR tuned for UK English, including postcodes and £ amounts, so an archive of completed files stays retrievable years later.

Client data, deleted in an hour

Property files carry names, addresses, dates of birth and bank details — all personal data under the UK GDPR. Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest, processed on UK/EU infrastructure, hard-deleted within 60 minutes, and never used for AI training. Pair it with the metadata scrubber to strip author names and GPS coordinates from survey photos before they leave your office.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get a site plan under a planning portal's file size limit?

Compress the PDF to a target size. Images are downsampled and fonts subset while vector linework stays sharp, which normally brings a 30MB drawing under a 10MB or 5MB cap without making dimensions unreadable.

Can I split a Land Registry title pack into separate documents?

Yes. Split by page ranges or every N pages to produce one file per document. Page quality and any existing OCR text layer are preserved, so the outputs stay searchable.

Can I make scanned property documents searchable?

Yes. OCR tuned for UK English adds an invisible text layer behind the scan, so postcodes, names and £ amounts can be found with Ctrl+F while the page still looks like the original.

Are client documents stored?

No. Every upload is deleted within 60 minutes, processed only on UK/EU infrastructure, and never used to train AI models.
