Think about the last time you needed to merge a couple of PDFs, remove a password, or OCR a scanned contract. Chances are, you Googled something like “free PDF tool online,” landed on a site you’d never heard of, and uploaded your file without a second thought. It feels harmless enough until you remember that those files sometimes contain pay stubs, medical records, signed agreements, or anything else you’d rather not hand to a stranger. There’s a better way, and it doesn’t require an Adobe subscription or a degree in server administration.
