Tool guide

Export and verify an edited PDF

Use the Download controls in the FOLD editor and verify the downloaded result.

Before you start

A PDF you have permission to edit and a saved original copy.

1. Open and inspect

Open the PDF editor and choose your document. Navigate to the correct page and zoom in until the target area is clear.

2. Use Download

Open the export dialog, choose a descriptive filename and review its form, whiteout and redaction notices. Download a new copy.

3. Download a new copy

Review the edited page, open the download dialog and save a separate file. Inspect the downloaded file rather than relying only on the preview.

Check the result

Reopen the actual output in another PDF viewer and inspect edited pages at normal zoom.

What to know

Most edits are flattened into the output. Redaction affects text searchability on the marked pages.
