FAQ
Will my PDF ever be uploaded?
No. OCR, redaction, and export happen locally on your device.
Is redaction really permanent?
Yes, if you export a hardened file. In that final copy, redacted text can’t be searched, selected, or copied.
Can I use it fully offline?
Yes for the core editing flow. Internet is only needed for App Store billing or optional support contact.
Can I rearrange pages before export?
Yes. You can rotate, reorder, split, and delete pages before exporting.
Do I need a subscription?
No. The app is free to download with an optional one-time Pro upgrade.
