1. Use Password Protection
Always encrypt sensitive PDFs with a strong password. Our "Protect PDF" tool allows you to add industry-standard encryption locally in your browser.
2. Be Wary of Metadata
PDFs often contain hidden metadata like the author's name, company, and creation date. Before sharing, ensure you've scrubbed sensitive information.
3. Avoid Public Wi-Fi for Uploads
Even though PDFBridge doesn't upload your files, some other services do. Avoid using public hotspots when handling legal or financial documents.
4. Keep Your Software Updated
Browser-based tools like ours rely on your browser's security. Ensure you're running the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, or Safari.
5. Use Trusted Tools
Only use tools that are transparent about their data handling. PDFBridge is committed to 100% transparency.
