Frequently Asked Questions — Inspect PDF
Everything you need to know about how to inspect PDF online
What is the PDF version?
The PDF specification version the file declares (for example 1.4 or 1.7). Newer versions support more features such as transparency and AES-256 encryption.
Why does it say fonts are not embedded?
The PDF references fonts expected to exist on the viewer's computer. Such files can look different on other machines.
Are my files secure while I inspect a PDF?
Yes. Everything happens inside your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded, and nothing is stored on a server.
Do you keep a copy of my document?
No. The file lives in your browser's memory only. When you close or refresh the tab it is gone. We cannot see it, and neither can anyone else.
