PDF tools for lawyers and legal teams

Redaction removes the underlying text objects, not just draws over them — the distinction that separates real redaction from a disclosure incident.

If the source is a scan, OCR first so redaction can target text and so the released copy remains searchable.

Flatten and compress the released version so no residual layers travel with the file.

Smart Compare detects every insertion, deletion and modification, explains the practical impact of each, and exports a redlined PDF.

Run the risk scanner over the returned version for one-sided indemnities, missing termination rights and unusual liability caps.

Produce a short change note for the client or the file.

Give the whole bundle a searchable text layer before anyone starts reading.

Break the bundle into per-document files so each item can be referenced and circulated separately.

Apply continuous pagination so references in correspondence stay stable.

Fill fields and apply signatures in the browser, so the unsigned draft never leaves the device.

Apply AES encryption with an open password and separate permission controls before it leaves the firm.

Convert the executed copy to PDF/A for the archive so it renders identically years from now.
