Frequently asked questions

Does Sanitize make a PDF safe to open?

No. It removes JavaScript, embedded files, and metadata. It is not a virus scanner and cannot guarantee the file is harmless. Links and fonts stay so the document still opens.

Why are links still there?

Many people need working links. We do not strip them, or fonts, because that often breaks the file. If you need a stricter clean, use a dedicated security workflow.
