FAQ

Are these tools secure enough for confidential legal documents?
Yes. Files are encrypted with 256-bit AES during transfer and deleted immediately after processing. We never store, access, or share your legal documents.
Are the e-signatures legally binding?
Yes. Our PDF signing creates electronic signatures recognized under e-signature laws in the EU (eIDAS), US (ESIGN/UETA), and most other jurisdictions.
Can I meet court e-filing size requirements with PDFBasic?
Yes. Our Compress PDF tool can reduce most document PDFs well within typical e-filing limits of 5–25MB while preserving full legibility.
Can I add "PRIVILEGED & CONFIDENTIAL" watermarks?
Yes! Our Watermark PDF tool lets you add any custom text watermark, including attorney-client privilege notices, across all pages.
Is there a page limit for merging court documents?
No. Merge as many documents as needed into a single court submission PDF, completely free.
