Step 1: Start with the real job
Open edit, merge, OCR, split, sign, compress, or convert based on the actual PDF task.
How local PDF processing works
Local PDF processing matters when the document is sensitive and the user wants the workflow to start closer to the file. LocalPDF is built around that idea: core jobs begin in the browser, with a local-first product path instead of an upload-first assumption.
Step 2: Keep trust visible
Users should understand how local-first handling fits the workflow before they commit to the app.
Step 3: Finish and export
Complete the job and export the result without scattering the document across disconnected utility routes.
