Common questions
What does Safe Share remove?
Scripts, risky actions, attachments, active media and XFA. You can also remove links, comments and form values.
Does it remove text on the page?
No. Use Redact PDF for content you can see. A visual-only copy is not secure redaction either.
What about digital signatures?
Rewriting the file invalidates them, so the tool asks you to confirm first.
Can it open password-protected PDFs?
Unlock them first with Unlock PDF.
