Three Powerful New Features

We're excited to announce three major new features for ExactPDF, all designed with our core promise: 100% local processing. Your files never leave your device.

1. Batch Processing

Process multiple PDFs at once - no more one-at-a-time workflows.

Our new batch mode is now available in PDF Compression:

  • Upload multiple files - Drag and drop as many PDFs as you need
  • Parallel processing - Files are processed simultaneously for speed
  • Individual progress tracking - See status for each file
  • Download all at once - Get all your processed files together
  • How to Use Batch Mode

  • Go to the Compress PDF tool
  • Toggle "Batch Mode" in the top right
  • Drop multiple PDF files
  • Click "Compress All"
  • Download individually or use "Download All"
  • 2. True Redaction

    Permanently remove sensitive content - not just cover it up.

    Our upgraded Smart Redaction tool now offers True Redaction:

  • Permanent removal - Content is actually deleted, not just masked
  • Metadata scrubbing - Strips author, dates, and hidden data
  • Verification feedback - Confirms redaction was successful
  • Enhanced AI detection - Now catches SSNs and credit card numbers
  • Why True Redaction matters: Simple black boxes can be removed by anyone with basic PDF tools. True Redaction converts the document to images, making the original content irrecoverable.

    3. Interactive PDF Forms

    Create fillable PDF forms with our new Interactive Forms tool:

  • Text fields - For names, addresses, and free-form input
  • Checkboxes - For yes/no options and agreements
  • Dropdown menus - For selecting from predefined options
  • Radio buttons - For single-choice selections
  • Use Cases

  • HR departments - Create onboarding forms
  • Government agencies - Build application forms
  • Healthcare - Patient intake forms
  • Education - Registration and enrollment forms
  • Still 100% Private

    Like all ExactPDF tools, these new features process your documents entirely in your browser:

  • ✅ No file uploads
  • ✅ No cloud processing
  • ✅ No data collection
  • ✅ Works offline
