Technical Safeguards & Privacy
• Local Browser Execution: Your files never upload to remote servers. All parsing, rendering, and export processing take place directly within your device’s browser memory.
• Papr places and bakes overlays cleanly into the document; it does not claim to alter pre-existing vector font curves like a desktop word processor.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I add a signature to a PDF document without paying for DocuSign?
Click the Sign tool in Papr’s top toolbar. Draw your signature using your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen. Click "Apply Signature" to place a transparent high-resolution signature graphic on your document. Drag it directly over the signature line and click Export to save your signed PDF free.
Can I edit existing text in a PDF like in Microsoft Word?
Standard PDF files are compiled graphic matrices with fixed character positions, not reflowable word processing documents. Papr provides an honest, reliable overlay editor: you can add new text blocks, whiteout or cover sections with shapes, place signatures, stamps, and page numbers, which are cleanly baked into the document upon export.
Can I apply page numbering and a watermark to all pages at once?
Yes! In the right inspector panel under "Document Tools", you can apply custom text watermarks (e.g. "CONFIDENTIAL" or "DRAFT") and standardized page numbers across every page with one click.
Are my confidential business contracts safe from third-party viewing?
Yes. All signature drawing, text placement, and PDF rendering take place 100% locally in your computer’s browser memory. No documents are uploaded to cloud servers.
