- Will cleaning break my PDF?
- We aim to preserve page content and order. Always open the output in a second PDF reader before sharing important files.
- Why was my signed PDF refused?
- Editing metadata can invalidate digital signatures. Refusing signed files avoids silent invalidation.

- No. Processing runs locally in your browser.
