Keep original copies

Always keep a copy of the original document. Your browser, installed extensions and device remain part of your security environment.

Technical transparency and verification

Documented features are checked with text PDFs, scanned documents, signatures, images and large files. Tests verify both the interface and the contents of the exported copy while keeping the original document separate and unchanged.

Compatibility also depends on the browser, available memory and PDF structure. Embedded fonts, complex forms, certified digital signatures or restrictions created by the original software may require an additional check in the recipient's preferred PDF application.
