Secure digital signing for PDF, XML & JSON
Sign, secure and simplify your PDFs — offline.
Merge, split, compress and digitally sign with your DSC token. Sign one file, a selection, or a whole folder on autopilot. Read and sign MCA forms other tools can't open. Nothing ever leaves your computer.
Why novel
Six things the imports can't say.
The reasons professionals switch — and the reasons they trust a new tool with their filings.
Fully offline
Documents never leave the computer. No cloud, no upload, every PDF job on your own machine — the privacy work demands.
Native DSC signing
Signs with your USB token directly — ProxKey, Watchdata, ePass2003, HYP2003 — plus the Windows certificate store. LTV & timestamp for long-term validity.
MCA forms, handled
Opens dynamic MCA / LiveCycle forms other viewers show as "Please wait", and signs them in the designated box. Built for Indian compliance.
Sign a whole folder
Point it at a folder and it signs every PDF on autopilot with your token — hundreds of forms while you get on with your day.
Under 2 MB, ready to upload
Compress to an exact target size — with headroom reserved for the signature — so every filing fits the portal's limit, first try.
Built in India
Built and supported locally, priced in ₹, proper invoice — an Atmanirbhar alternative to imported software. Every file stays on your computer.
The suite
One app instead of seven.
Everything a document desk needs — merge, split, compress, edit, protect, convert and, above all, sign. Every edition includes the full core suite.
Digital signing
- DSC / USB-token signing — all major Indian tokens, Windows cert store, .pfx and .pem.
- Visible signature with your name, a green validity tick and the novel mark — Adobe-style.
- Sign in the form's box — one click onto an MCA "to be digitally signed by" field.
- Remove stray "Sign here" boxes MCA forms leave behind — existing signatures stay valid.
- Send for signature — draw "Sign here" boxes for someone else; they sign exactly there. App-to-app with novel ConnectENTERPRISE.
- Autopilot folder signing — sign every PDF in a folder, unattended.
- LTV & RFC-3161 timestamp — signatures stay valid for years (PAdES).
- Verify signatures — see who signed and whether the file changed since.
- Sign any file type — detached .p7s for any file; native XML, JSON, Word & Excel.
Compress & optimise
- Smart compress — shrinks images, keeps text sharp.
- Compress to a target size — hit a portal's limit (e.g. under 2 MB), with room reserved for the signature.
- Scanned (B&W)BUSINESS — CCITT G4, dramatic shrink for scanned paperwork.
- Batch / folder compressBUSINESS — many files at once.
Organise & combine
- Merge many files into one; split by pages, ranges or size.
- Reorder, rotate, delete, insert pages by drag-and-drop.
- Multi-PDF tabs — several documents open at once.
Edit & mark up
- Edit text in place — fix a typo directly on the page.
- Annotate — text, boxes, shapes, highlight, whiteout, redact.
- Stamp, watermark, page numbers — DRAFT, CERTIFIED TRUE COPY, Bates, seals.
Protect & convert
- Password-protect with AES-256; remove a password you know.
- Convert PDF ↔ images (JPEG/PNG) and images → PDF.

- Compare two PDFs — see exactly what changed between versions.
Smart FilingBUSINESS

- Auto-tag, rename and sort into tidy folders; learns your folder choices.
- All offline — a filing clerk that never sends your files anywhere.
Workflow AutomationENTERPRISE
Drop 50 invoices. Get them back signed and filed.
- Autopilot folder — drop files in an inbox; they're compressed, signed, stamped and filed by themselves.
- Watches the folder and processes new arrivals instantly, with a full audit log.
- Team approval routing — Accounts → Manager → sign → file, each step recorded.
novel Connect
Sign together, from anywhere.ENTERPRISE
Get any document signed by someone else, without a cloud service.
Prepare a document, mark where each person signs, and send it — over WhatsApp, email, or one-click app-to-app. The other person opens it in novel pdf studio and signs with their own DSC token. It comes back to you, signed, with a green validity tick.
Send it. They sign it. You get it back — encrypted, with their DSC, no cloud.
- Multiple signers, in order — HR signs in Mumbai, Management signs in Chennai, one document.
- End-to-end encrypted — documents are sealed to the recipient; nothing readable ever touches a server. Or run the relay on your own server — nothing leaves your network.
- Signed with a real DSC, not a click-to-sign image — the legally strong signature Indian compliance needs.
- Live status — Sent → Opened → Signed → Returned.
- Works offline — no internet? It falls back to an encrypted Sign Packet you share any way, unlocked with a short code.
An Enterprise edition feature — offline Sign Packet included; one-click app-to-app signing when a relay is running.
Privacy by architecture
Your documents never touch a server.
Most online PDF tools work by uploading your file. For a signed contract, a salary sheet or a client's KYC documents, that is a data-protection problem you have to explain to somebody.
novel pdf studio does the work on your processor. There is no upload step to opt out of, because there is no upload.
- No account needed to use the software
- Works with the network cable pulled out
- Licence activation is offline — the key verifies against a public key inside the app, with a periodic online licence check when connected
