Step-by-Step Workflow

4 Easy Steps
01Phase 1

Drop One or More PDF Files into the Local Vault

Select or drag-and-drop PDF files from your device, or load a simulated malicious PDF telemetry sample to test the object scanner.

02Phase 2

Audit PDF Object Tags & Security Risk Score

Review the real-time structural scan for /JS, /JavaScript, /OpenAction, /Launch, /EmbeddedFiles, and hex-escaped dictionary tokens.

03Phase 3

Configure Page Ranges, Ordering & Sanitization Rules

Specify custom page ranges to merge or split, and toggle active tag defanging plus Info/XMP metadata scrubbing.

04Phase 4

Generate & Download the Sanitized PDF Locally

Compile the clean, merged PDF buffer directly in your browser and download the sanitized file with zero server interaction.

Real-World Applications

Confidential Legal, Tax & Medical PDF Merging

Combine sensitive contracts, bank statements, or HIPAA/GDPR-regulated records in the browser without exposing documents to third-party cloud PDF converters.

SOC Analyst Maldoc Triage & Safe Sanitization

Inspect suspicious email attachment PDFs for embedded /Launch cmd.exe triggers, CVE exploit streams, or auto-executing /OpenAction payloads before opening in desktop readers.

Anonymous Whistleblower & OSINT Document Cleansing

Purge Author, Creator, Producer, CreationDate, ModDate, and Adobe XMP DocumentID/InstanceID UUIDs that could deanonymize the document creator.
