PDF Bot

PDF chores rarely need a full office suite. You have to shrink a contract so it fits an email, glue three signed pages into one file, rotate a scan that came out sideways or lock a document with a password before sending it. PDF Bot handles all of that in one chat, and it does it in the open: the code lives in the public GitHub repository zeshuaro/telegram-pdf-bot, whose homepage points straight to the bot.

Send a PDF and the bot offers a menu of actions: compress, crop, merge, split, rotate, scale, rename, encrypt or decrypt, add a watermark, extract its images or text, or turn its pages into images. It can also compare the text of two PDF files, which is handy when a counterparty sends back "the same" contract. In the other direction it builds PDFs from a text message, a web page link or photos, and it can tidy up photos of handwritten notes into a clean PDF. A text layer can be added to a scanned file so you can search inside it.

The project is maintained by a single developer and funded by donations, with no paid tier described in the repository. Development is active: the repository was updated on 5 October 2026, and the bot shows about 15,500 monthly users. Translations are managed on Crowdin, with locales including Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Arabic and Russian. The weak spots are typical of a free hosted bot: your files pass through someone else's server, and there is no published privacy policy, so keep truly confidential documents for offline tools.
