Is it safe to upload trade documents to an online PDF editor?
Uploading a trade document like a B/L or Commercial Invoice — full of company details and transaction records — to an online PDF tool carries more risk than it seems. Once a file reaches a server, you have no way of knowing where it's stored or for how long.
This editor handles merging, rotating, extracting pages, and converting to PNG entirely inside your browser (via WebAssembly-based pdf-lib) — there's no file upload step at all, so you can edit even sensitive shipping documents with confidence.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Is the file really never uploaded to a server?
A. Correct. Merging, rotating, extracting, and PNG conversion are all handled in JavaScript inside your browser — there's no file upload API call involved at any point.
Q. Can it handle large PDFs?
A. Processing happens in your browser's memory, so larger files take longer to process. Typical shipping documents and contracts process without issue.
Q. How is this different from the PDF Unlocker tool?
A. This editor handles merging, rotating, extracting pages, and PNG conversion. The PDF Unlocker instead removes print/copy restrictions from a locked PDF. They're separate tools built for different jobs.
