Bookmarker vs TOCBuilder
These companion products work with PDF navigation but serve different purposes. Many users have both.
Bookmarker $129
Creates and manages the bookmark panel — the clickable tree of links that appears in Acrobat's side panel.
- Auto-generate bookmarks from fonts, styles, and headings
- Merge, sort, and restructure existing bookmarks
- Set bookmark destinations, colours, and styles
- Process single files or batch operations
Best for: Adding navigational bookmarks to documents that lack them, or fixing and reorganising existing bookmark trees.
TOCBuilder $149
Generates a visible table of contents page — a formatted, printed page inserted into the PDF with linked entries.
- Build TOC from bookmarks, fonts, or custom rules
- Full control over layout, fonts, indentation, and leaders
- Clickable links from TOC entries to target pages
- Multi-level TOC with page number formatting
Best for: Adding a professional printed table of contents page to reports, manuals, and formal documents.
Use together: Create bookmarks with Bookmarker, then generate a formatted table of contents page from those bookmarks using TOCBuilder. The upcoming TOCBuilder v2 combines both products into a single plugin.
MaskIt vs Flattener
Both products modify PDF content, but for very different purposes. MaskIt removes content; Flattener preserves it.
MaskIt $129
Redacts and removes sensitive content — permanently hides or deletes text, images, and areas from PDF pages.
- Draw redaction areas over sensitive content
- Search and redact by text pattern
- Remove headers, footers, and page regions
- Permanently destroy redacted content
Best for: Compliance, legal discovery, GDPR redaction, and sharing documents with confidential information removed.
Flattener $129
Flattens interactive elements into static content — merges annotations, form fields, and comments into the page.
- Flatten form fields (preserve filled-in data)
- Flatten annotations and comments
- Remove interactive elements entirely
- Process single files or batches
Best for: Finalising forms, archiving documents with comments, and preparing PDFs for distribution where interactivity isn't needed.
Key difference: MaskIt destroys content for security. Flattener preserves content but makes it non-interactive. Use MaskIt when content must be removed; use Flattener when content should stay visible but static.
MediaSizer vs ContentScaler
Both products change PDF page dimensions, but they work in different ways.
MediaSizer $129
Changes the page size itself — modifies the media box, crop box, and other page boxes without altering the content.
- Resize pages to specific paper dimensions
- Crop pages to remove whitespace
- Add margins or bleed areas
- Standardise mixed-size documents
Best for: Reformatting page dimensions, adding print bleeds, and standardising page sizes across a document.
ContentScaler $129
Scales the page content — resizes everything on the page (text, graphics, images) to fit a new paper size.
- Scale content to fit A4, Letter, or custom sizes
- Maintain proportions or stretch to fit
- Adjust positioning and margins
- Process single files or batches
Best for: Reprinting documents designed for one paper size onto a different size, such as A4 to Letter or vice versa.
Key difference: MediaSizer changes the page boundaries around the existing content. ContentScaler changes the content to fit new boundaries. Use MediaSizer to adjust the canvas; use ContentScaler to resize what's on it.
