Before you download
A few useful answers.
Are my PDFs uploaded anywhere?
The app processes your documents and pasted data locally. Your PDFs, workspaces, saved signatures, and initials stay on your computer. If you separately paste information into a chat service for help preparing bulk-fill data, that information goes to that service.
Can I edit the original text or redact a document?
This version adds content and fills forms. It does not edit existing page text, reorder pages, perform redaction, include OCR, or provide built-in printing. Encrypted PDFs, XFA forms, and PDFs with existing digital signatures are view-only.
Are these certificate-backed digital signatures?
No. Saved signatures and initials are visual ink images. Each person should review a document and place their own signature. Flattening removes interactive fields; it does not make a PDF tamper-proof.
Can I keep editing after exporting?
Save an editable workspace before exporting. The final flattened PDF contains permanent additions, while the workspace retains the movable text, checkmarks, and placed signatures for future changes.
Where can I find the source and release history?
The Paperdesk PDF repository contains the current instructions and source. The 1.0.4 release page includes the executable, release notes, and published checksum.
