FAQ
Does it upload my PDFs?
No. OCR, redaction, and export run on your device.
Is redaction permanent?
When you export a hardened PDF, redactions are burned in so hidden text can’t be recovered.
Does it work offline?
Yes. The app is built to work without an internet connection.
Can I edit or rearrange pages?
Yes. You can rotate, reorder, split, and remove pages inside the editor.
Is this a subscription app?
No. The app offers an optional one-time Pro upgrade and does not require a recurring subscription.
