Frequently Asked Questions
Are my confidential PDF documents uploaded to any server?
No, never! All document reading, canvas annotation, signature stamping, and PDF compiling happen entirely inside your browser's local sandbox memory. Zero bytes are uploaded to remote servers.
Can I sign PDF contracts and official forms?
Yes. You can use the Digital Signature tool to draw your signature using a mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen, or generate a stylized cursive typed signature, then place and resize it precisely on the signature line.
How does the Whiteout / Redact feature work?
The Whiteout tool draws solid opaque white or black blocks over existing PDF text and figures, permanently masking unwanted or sensitive data in the exported document.
Can I edit password-protected PDF files?
Yes. If your document is locked, the editor will prompt you for the password to decrypt and open it locally before editing.
Does the exported PDF contain watermarks?
No. UtilityNow provides 100% clean, watermark-free PDF exports with zero hidden fees or restrictions.
