Crop, split, rotate, add, export PDF pages in JavaScript

Sample JavaScript code to manipulate a PDF document in the browser (no servers or other external dependencies required). This sample lets you rotate a PDF page and delete, move or insert a new page into your document. You can also crop pages in your PDF or merge multiple documents into a consolidated file. In the case of MS Office files (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX), documents are converted to PDF files where modifications are saved. This sample works on all browsers (including IE11) and mobile devices without using plug-ins. For an example view our Page Manipulation demo. Learn more about our JavaScript PDF Library.
