Clear answers
PDF privacy inspector questions.
Does this redact text inside the PDF?
No. It removes supported document properties only. Visible text and page content require a dedicated redaction workflow.
Can the cleaner break a digital signature?
Yes. Rebuilding or modifying a signed PDF can invalidate its signature. Preserve the original whenever signatures matter.
Is the PDF uploaded?
No. The PDF library reads and rebuilds the selected file in this browser.
