Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers about privacy, limitations, and how Fingerprint PDF functions.

What is a PDF cryptographic fingerprint?

A PDF cryptographic fingerprint is a unique mathematical digest (like SHA-256) calculated from the exact bytes of the file. Even a 1-character modification or hidden metadata change completely alters the hash, providing 100% tamper-evident proof.

How does the forensic leak tracking feature work?

DocuDev embeds unique recipient UUIDs into the document dictionary and XMP metadata without changing visual formatting, allowing organizations to trace the exact source if a confidential document is leaked.

Can I verify if a PDF has been altered after signing?

Yes! You can compare the document against a known SHA-256 hash or compare two PDF files side-by-side. The tool instantly flags any content, structural, or metadata deviation.

Is my confidential document uploaded to any cloud server?

No. All cryptographic hashing (SHA-256, SHA-512), entropy analysis, and forensic watermarking are calculated 100% client-side inside your browser via Web Crypto API.
