How to use Privacy Risk Scanner
Inspect PDF properties, searchable text, form values, comments, attachments, external references and exposed script actions locally.

- Download the JSON report or open a cleanup tool and choose the same PDF there.
What to check before using the result
The scanner does not modify the PDF or execute its scripts and links. Images are not OCR-scanned; incomplete checks and pages without searchable text are reported. Pattern matching and supported PDF checks cannot certify a document safe or detect every kind of hidden content.
Common questions
Where does Privacy Risk Scanner process my document?
This tool processes your document in your browser. There is no document upload to the application server for this operation. Download the result to keep your own copy.
Can I use Privacy Risk Scanner on my phone?
Open Privacy Risk Scanner in a modern mobile browser and use the same document controls. Large files and image-heavy documents can take longer on a phone; a desktop browser is useful when you need more screen space.
