Most online PDF tools work by uploading your file. novel pdf studio does the work on your processor — there is no upload step to opt out of, because there is no upload. Here is the honest, complete picture — we never claim "everything is completely offline."
View, edit, compress, sign, OCR and convert run on your machine. No account needed; works with the network cable pulled out.
Optional AI features (your own API key) and novel Connect involve their respective services. Connect is end-to-end encrypted — or run the relay on your own server.
Licence activation / check-in, update checks, certificate validation (OCSP) and RFC-3161 timestamping exchange small technical data — never your document content.
Document content, DSC PINs and private keys never leave your computer and are never collected for analytics.
Install the trial and watch the network — your documents stay on your PC.
