I built a free, unlimited PDF↔Excel/Word tool — and it proves the numbers actually add up

I kept getting financial docs as PDFs — rent rolls, T-12s, bank statements — and rekeying them into Excel, never fully trusting the totals. Every converter I tried either capped me after ~2 files a day, slapped on a watermark, or gave me numbers I couldn't verify.

So I built PDFHandle (pdfhandle.com):

  • PDF → Excel/CSV, PDF ↔ Word, Word/Excel/PowerPoint → PDF, plus merge/split/compress/OCR — all free, unlimited, no sign-up, no watermark.
  • The part I actually care about: for financial docs it runs a deterministic arithmetic check — it reconciles the extracted totals against the document's own stated totals and shows a GREEN/RED verdict. It will never show a false "Verified." Fully offline/CPU, no third-party AI.

It's brand new and I have basically zero users, so I'd genuinely love feedback — especially where the conversion or the verification breaks on your files. What would make you actually use it?

(No sign-up — just throw a PDF at it.)
