Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Does viewing a PDF upload my confidential files?

No. The entire viewer engine runs locally in your web browser using WebAssembly. Your files are never uploaded, logged, or stored on any server.

Does viewing or rotating modify my original PDF?

No. All viewer operations (zooming, rotation, page navigation, theme changes) are session display states. The original PDF bytes remain completely untouched.

Can I select and copy text from the viewer?

Yes. A synchronized native text layer overlays the rendered page canvas, allowing natural click-and-drag text selection and copy-paste.

How does Full-Text Search work?

Press Ctrl+F to open the search bar. The engine indexes document text across all pages and highlights matches with previous/next jumping.

Can I open password-protected PDF files?

Yes. When opening an encrypted PDF, you will be prompted for the password. The password is kept in ephemeral browser memory and never stored.

How does the viewer handle bookmarks & outlines?

If the PDF contains a Table of Contents (TOC) outline, it is automatically parsed into a clickable navigation tree in the sidebar drawer.

What is Presentation Mode?

Presentation Mode expands the viewer into a distraction-free fullscreen view with single-page layout and keyboard slide advance controls (Space, Arrow keys).

Can I download embedded file attachments?

Yes. If the PDF contains embedded file attachments, they will appear in the Attachments tab of the sidebar with one-click export buttons.

How does the viewer handle large 500+ page PDFs?

The viewer uses lazy rendering with Intersection Observers, virtualized thumbnails, and visible-page prioritization to ensure smooth scrolling without memory crashes.

Can I use the viewer on mobile phones and tablets?

Yes. The viewer is fully touch-optimized with pinch-to-zoom, responsive drawers, and adaptive scaling across smartphones, iPads, and desktop displays.
