Privacy and tool limitations

Understand document processing, local preferences, network requests and limitations before using PDF Toolkit.

Who maintains the project?

PDF Toolkit is maintained through the Salaroutsourcing/pdf repository on GitHub. Use the repository issue tracker to report reproducible bugs without including confidential documents.

Document handling

The current application processes PDF and image contents in your browser. It does not include a document upload API or server-side document storage. Downloaded outputs remain on your device. Closing the tool releases its document references; this is not a guarantee of secure memory erasure.

Preferences and network traffic

Office names, favorite tool IDs, recent tool IDs and theme choices are stored in local browser storage. App assets may be cached by a service worker. Google Fonts, hosting and OCR model requests expose ordinary connection metadata. The app does not store PDF contents in local storage or the service worker cache.

Important limits

PDF files must be unencrypted and no larger than 100 MB each. Compression and redaction produce image-only output. Signature placement is not certificate signing. OCR is English-only and fallible. No certification, security audit or compliance guarantee is claimed.
