How does client-side PDF redaction and sanitization protect sensitive data?

It permanently flattens interactive form fields, strips hidden XMP/author metadata, purges external hyperlinks, and removes embedded attachment streams.

Will redaction alter the layout or visual quality of my PDF?

No. Only sensitive metadata and unflattened input elements are cleaned; your page typography, vector graphics, and layouts remain intact.

Will confidential legal or financial PDFs ever be uploaded to a server?

PDF parsing, redaction, and reconstruction run locally in your browser; the document is not uploaded. Optional anonymous diagnostics may be sent according to your privacy settings.
