## Answer

Drop a PDF into the auditor below for a local structural and privacy-oriented report. For a scored checklist (covered text, PII, metadata), also use the PDF privacy checker. Everything stays on your device.

## Limits

- Best-effort analysis — not a forensic lab report.
- Follow up with Redact, Deep Clean, or Confidential Send as needed.

## FAQ

### What is a PDF hidden content auditor?

A local scan for markers that everyday viewers hide: scripts, attachments, metadata, and related risks — before you share.

### PDF audit vs privacy checker?

Audit focuses on document structure and hygiene; the privacy checker adds a 0–100 score and covered-text checks.

### Does PDF audit upload my file?

No. It runs in your browser.
