Extended Tools for PDF Pro Panel 3
Six professional batch workflows: redaction, OCR and book capture, legal production, forms automation, data extraction and document sanitization. Everything runs on your own computer, you approve every page before anything is saved, and your original files are never changed.
Updated October 10, 2026 · Extended Tools are add-ons for the PDF Pro Panel 3 desktop app and are not on sale yet.
Private by design
Documents are processed on your device, with no uploads and no cloud OCR. Work in progress is kept in an encrypted workspace protected by your operating system.
You stay in control
Every result is reviewed side by side with the original page before export. Long reviews can be paused and resumed later without processing anything again.
Built for big jobs
Batches of up to 1 GB, crash-safe recovery that resumes where it stopped, and exports that never overwrite an existing file.
The six tools
Each extension is a separate add-on, so you only buy the workflows you need.
Commercial Redaction
Find and permanently remove sensitive information across batches of PDFs and scans.
- Suggestions for emails, phone numbers, national identifiers and labelled names, addresses and birth dates
- Eight regions: Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, France, Spain and Mexico, with every ID number checked against its official check digit
- 50 industry starting profiles; combine several for mixed batches, plus your own exact phrases
- Original on the left, redacted result on the right: drag to cover anything missed
- Image-only output with nothing hidden underneath, plus a verification report
For legal teams, HR, records requests, healthcare and financial administration.
OCR & Document Capture
Turn scans and page photos into searchable PDFs, editable Word, Excel and Rich Text documents, or EPUB e-books.
- English, French and Spanish, fully offline
- Auto Batch: compile a whole book or folder of page photos into one Word document, plus searchable PDF or EPUB e-book if you like
- Photographed pages are straightened, dark edges trimmed and two-page spreads split automatically
- Pages with low confidence are flagged for you to check
- Export again in another format at any time
For digitizing books, manuals, archives and paper records.
Legal Document Production
Number documents for production with consecutive Bates identifiers across a whole batch.
- Your prefix and starting number, continued across files
- Labels added below the original page area, so nothing is covered
- CSV production index with every range
For law firms, litigation support and compliance teams.
Forms Automation
Fill one PDF form for every row in a spreadsheet (CSV) and get finished, flattened PDFs.
- Up to 1,000 records per batch
- Text, checkbox, dropdown, list and radio fields
- Each record is checked on its own; one bad row never blocks the rest
For HR onboarding, applications, certificates and repeated paperwork.
Data Extraction
Read labelled values such as invoice numbers and totals into a spreadsheet you can trust.
- Define the fields once, as name = printed label
- Correct any value during review; your corrections are what is exported
- Spreadsheet-safe CSV output
For accounts payable, bookkeeping and records processing.
Document Sanitization
Rebuild documents as clean image-only PDFs that look the same but carry nothing hidden.
- Removes metadata, attachments, scripts, form objects and hidden text layers
- Every page checked against the original
- Ideal before sharing documents outside your organization
For sharing, publishing and handing documents to third parties.
Spotlight: from a stack of page photos to one Word document
OCR Auto Batch is built for books and long documents.
- Pick a folder or files. Pages are read in name order, so page2 comes before page10.
- Reading runs on its own, with live progress and time remaining. Tilted photos are straightened, spine shadows trimmed and two-page spreads split first.
- Check each page side by side with its recognized text. Doubtful pages are flagged, and you can pause and come back later.
- Save once. Every page goes into one Word document under the name you choose, plus searchable PDF, EPUB e-book, Rich Text or Excel if selected.
Why on-device matters
- No uploads. Recognition, redaction and every other step run locally, and work offline.
- Encrypted workspace. Page images, recognized text and review progress are stored encrypted, with keys protected by your operating system.
- Originals untouched. Source files are fingerprinted and never modified. Results are saved as new files and never replace existing ones.
- Audit-friendly. Every export comes with a verification report recording fingerprints, settings and the checks performed.
Honest limits: automatic detection and recognition can miss things, which is why every page is reviewed by a person. These tools help you work faster and more consistently. They are not a compliance certification.
How buying will work
- Individual add-ons: each extension is purchased separately, as a one-time purchase or a yearly subscription, and unlocks only that tool.
- 3-day free trial: every add-on can be tried free for 3 days at launch.
- For PDF Pro Panel 3 desktop: the direct Windows and Mac editions need an active desktop licence. Store editions will sell extensions through their own store.
- Launch prices: from US$39 one-time or US$15 a year per add-on; all six for US$249 one-time or US$99 a year. See the price list. Extensions are coming soon; the launch date will be announced.

Questions
Do my documents leave my computer?
No. Processing happens on your device. Licence checks send device and licence identifiers, never document contents.
Which platforms are supported?
Extended Tools are add-ons for the PDF Pro Panel 3 desktop app on Windows and macOS.
Can I review a very long document over several days?
Yes. Choose Pause review, and later Resume review continues at the page where you stopped, keeping your approvals and unsaved choices. Nothing is processed again.
What happens if my computer shuts down mid-job?
The job is recovered as paused. Resume it and only the remaining work is done; finished pages and saved files are kept.
Which OCR languages are available?
English, French and Spanish today, in any combination. More languages are planned.
Are the results certified for legal or privacy compliance?
No. The tools assist people; each page is approved by a reviewer. Verification reports record what was checked, not a certification.
