FAQ

A few useful answers

Know what to expect before you start.

On your device
Which files can I attach?

Choose up to 20 files, at most 25 MB each and 50 MB combined. The finished PDF is capped at 100 MB. Reader support for embedded files varies.

Will existing PDF attachments remain?

Yes. The tool keeps existing embedded attachments and adds the selected files to a separate PDF copy. It also removes potentially active PDF actions.

What happens to digital signatures?

Saving a new PDF generally invalidates an existing cryptographic signature. Keep the signed original when that signature matters and verify the result in a compatible reader.

Are my files uploaded for this tool?

Document processing and PDF generation run in your browser on your device. This tool does not upload the document for processing. Save your result before closing or reloading the page; the original file on your device is unchanged.
