Frequently Asked Questions

What makes PDFox technology different? +

PDFox V2 is powered by patent-pending DOM-Native PDF Rendering (DNPR) technology (USPTO #63/997,982). Unlike every other PDF editor that renders to Canvas pixels, PDFox renders directly to editable HTML elements — making text natively selectable, searchable with Ctrl+F, accessible to screen readers, and editable by clicking and typing. Learn more about V2 →

What is DNPR? +

DNPR stands for DOM-Native PDF Rendering — a patent-pending approach invented by PDFox that renders PDF documents directly to the browser's Document Object Model instead of painting pixels on an HTML Canvas. Every text block becomes an editable HTML span, every graphic becomes an SVG element, and every image becomes a DOM node. The result is a PDF you can edit like a Google Doc — with native text selection, Ctrl+F search, screen reader accessibility, and zero-cost zoom via CSS scaling. Learn more →

How is this free? +

PDFox is 100% free — all features, no watermarks, no limits, no credit card required. We're building the next generation of PDF technology and want everyone to experience it.

Do you really not store files? +

Correct. PDFox runs entirely in your browser. Files connect from your Google Drive or device, get edited locally, and save back. We physically cannot see your documents — they never touch our servers.

Why not just use Adobe? +

Adobe Acrobat costs ~€23/month (~€280/year) and uploads your files to their cloud. PDFox is completely free, with zero server uploads. Your files never leave your browser.

Is it safe for sensitive documents? +

Yes. Because files process in your browser, we physically cannot access them. This makes PDFox ideal for contracts, medical forms, tax documents, and any file you'd rather keep private. We're EU-based and GDPR compliant.

Will it work with my PDF? +

PDFox works with any PDF up to 100MB. This includes scanned documents, multi-page files, forms, and password-protected PDFs (you'll need the password). If you can open it, you can edit it.
