Around thirty free PDF tools with no account and no daily counter.
A German-made set of PDF utilities — merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, remove a password, redact — that is genuinely free rather than free-with-a-meter. Several of the tools state on the page that they run entirely in your browser; the rest upload and delete after a set period. There is also a free Windows desktop version if you would rather nothing left the machine at all.
AltFTool does this too
If you would rather not leave the site, PDF Split Tool covers the same job here — free, no account, and it runs in your browser.
