ToolTerms of Use — Local PDF Tools
Published 25 October 2026. This page describes the local PDF tools on tools.recode-x.com.
Authorized use
Use these tools only for documents you own or are authorized to process. Unlock accepts legitimately known credentials; it provides no password cracking or unauthorized access. You remain responsible for obtaining permission and for your use of the resulting document.
Review outputs
Keep an original copy. PDF features vary and processing may change signature validity, forms, accessibility information, or layout. Read the warnings for your selected operation. A visual signature is not a cryptographic certificate signature. PDF permission flags depend on viewer support.
Redaction and comparison
Raster sanitization creates new image-only PDF pages. It removes source objects from that new file and checks the documented scope; it does not discover all sensitive information for you. Review every page before sharing. Comparison reports describe the selected visual/text checks and do not establish legal or forensic identity.
Availability and responsibility
Processing capacity depends on your browser and device. No universal compatibility, recovery, signature trust, or absolute security is promised. These terms do not exclude obligations or rights that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
