Everything people ask before hitting upload.

Yes. The editor and all seven PDF tools are completely free with no accounts, subscriptions, or export limits. The site is funded by advertising served through Google AdSense.

No. PDFs are opened, scanned, edited, and exported entirely in your browser session. Closing the tab discards the document.

Yes. Unlock accepts an authorized password and verifies that the result reopens without credentials. Other tools request a password for protected inputs when modification is permitted. Protect creates AES-256 encrypted output; permission flags depend on the receiving PDF viewer for enforcement.

The scan combines three sources: form fields already embedded in the PDF, drawn boxes and underlines detected in the page geometry, and labels detected in the text. The results are merged, de-duplicated, and placed as editable fields.

The scan imports existing form fields together with their values — including completed forms that were saved as read-only — so you can review, correct, and re-export them.

Use Rescan to merge newly detected fields, or add a field manually with the toolbar. Every field, AI or manual, can be moved, resized, restyled, or deleted.

Drag across the area you care about. Highlight snaps one marker stroke to each text line it covers and blends with the page like a real highlighter; erase hugs the text under your selection and covers it with a page-colored box.

The standard export covers erased areas with an opaque box while keeping the rest of the document's text selectable. For redacting truly sensitive data, remove the content in the source document.

PDF-safe built-in fonts: Helvetica, Times Roman, and Courier. These keep exports reliable across viewers.

Yes. Exports are vector-based: text stays crisp and selectable, highlights use the same multiply blending you see on screen, and signatures embed as drawn.

Advertising is what keeps the tools free. Ads are served by Google AdSense and are clearly distinguishable from the tools. Your documents are processed entirely in your browser — they are never seen by us or by the ad network, and never influence which ads appear.

Email pdf@novusstreamsolutions.com or use the contact page. Because documents never leave your device, please describe the issue rather than sending the file itself unless you are comfortable sharing it.

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on desktop and mobile. Large PDFs render best on desktop, but the editor includes touch controls for phones and tablets.

Yes — that is the main use case. Always review field placement, values, dates, and signatures before submitting any official document.
