1. Acceptance
By accessing or using PDF Editor, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. If you use PDF Editor for an organization, you represent that you have authority to accept these Terms for it.
2. The service
PDF Editor is a browser-based document tool that can open, display, annotate, organize, merge, split and export PDF files and related formats. Most document operations occur locally in your browser.
Save your work. PDF Editor is not a document-storage service. Refreshing or closing the page, clearing browser data, a browser crash or device failure may permanently remove unsaved work.
3. Eligibility and authority
You must be legally capable of entering these Terms. You are responsible for confirming that your use is permitted by applicable law, contract, professional obligations and organizational policies.
4. Your files and content
You retain ownership of files and content you process. You must have the rights and permissions needed to open, edit, convert, sign, reproduce and share them.
- Check edits, signatures, page order, metadata and exported files.
- Maintain originals and reliable backups.
- Protect confidential information and passwords.
- Determine whether an electronic signature or edited document is legally valid for your purpose.
5. Acceptable use
You may not use PDF Editor to violate law or another person’s rights; create fraudulent, deceptive, forged, infringing or unlawful material; introduce malware; attack or interfere with the service; bypass security controls; or impose unreasonable automated load.
6. Important output limitations
Visual editing and redaction
Many additions remain editor layers until export. Whiteout, covering and highlighting are not guaranteed to permanently remove underlying data and must not be treated as certified legal redaction.
Office exports and compression
Word and PowerPoint exports may preserve appearance by placing rendered page images into Office files rather than recreating editable text and graphics. Compression results vary.
Passwords, encryption and signatures
Password protection and encrypted ZIP output can have compatibility or security limitations. A drawn or typed signature is a visual mark; PDF Editor does not verify identity, authority, certificate validity or legal enforceability.
7. Third-party software
PDF Editor incorporates or loads open-source and third-party libraries, including PDF.js, pdf-lib, JSZip, zip.js, docx and PptxGenJS. Those components remain subject to their respective licenses and notices.
8. Availability and changes
The service may be unavailable because of maintenance, network failure, browser incompatibility or circumstances outside our control. We may add, remove, change, limit or discontinue features and may update these Terms by posting a revised version.
9. Disclaimers
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PDF Editor is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, availability, security and error-free operation.
PDF Editor does not provide legal, financial, medical, compliance, archival or other professional advice.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, PDF Editor and its operator will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for loss of files, data, profits, revenue, opportunity, goodwill or business interruption.
Where liability cannot be excluded, aggregate liability arising from the free service is limited to the greater of the amount paid during the previous twelve months and C$10, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
11. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the service at any time. We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the service, users or third parties, respond to legal requirements or address a violation of these Terms.
12. Governing law and contact
Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, these Terms are governed by the laws of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable there. If any provision is unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain effective.
