Hey OP, your tool doesn't work for me either, here's an example of a wuolah pdf that doesn't get converted properly (some pages are deleted, some are deformed). I tried the default method and the "basic" method, both fail.

@tooanri4you Hey, let me address the issues you stated in your comment.

  1. Your document is malformed. It's not as it comes from wuolah. You can see the ads are displaced, and this makes Trolah fail on normal mode. Here is the correct document you should have provided:
    wuolah-premium-antropologia-completo-te-la-dejas-para-el-final-con-autores-y-libros (1).pdf

  2. Trolah basic mode is fail-proof. It only removes ads visually, and leaves everything as-is to avoid breaking format. It's useful in case no other tools or methods work, or in case you have pages with different sizes. Indeed it works even with the malformed document you provided, but here is the correct one:
    wuolah-premium-antropologia-completo-te-la-dejas-para-el-final-con-autores-y-libros_1-trolah-free (basic).pdf

  3. The normal mode focuses on size, and it's optimized for A4 documents mainly with text. So you can see how it forces A4 on the last few horizontal pages (I need to fix that). For other formats it's better to use the basic mode because it might fail, but it is not the case. Output with normal mode:
    wuolah-premium-antropologia-completo-te-la-dejas-para-el-final-con-autores-y-libros_1-trolah-free.pdf

You're right OP, idk why my provided file was wrong in the first place, I downloaded it straight from wuolah (perhaps it's the extension I use for pro+ messing up with downloaded files?), but I was able to reproduce a correct output with your given version. Some pages towards the end (the ones with only images and in a weird format) are still gone, but all the text seems to be intact, so I don't mind. Thank you so much for your help. I'll be more careful from now on.
