Browser-side PDF processing is used whenever possible. Raw files are not intentionally saved to your Docula dashboard.
Known password
PDF security must use real encryption. This shared workflow is prepared, but processing is disabled until Docula adds a production-safe security worker.
Upload a PDF and enter the known password. Unlock processing is disabled until a production-safe PDF security worker is available.

FAQ
Common questions from students.

PDF security handling needs reliable encryption support. Docula avoids unsafe or misleading behavior.
