What this tool preserves

- The page preview helps catch placement issues.
- Warnings explain when signatures or hidden content may be affected.

How to batch process pdfs

What this tool does
Files are handled sequentially to reduce memory pressure. A damaged or unsupported PDF can be marked as failed while the remaining queue continues, and failed items can be retried without repeating successful files.
Privacy note: selected files are handled by JavaScript running on your device. The application does not intentionally transfer document contents to a BQ server. Browser extensions, managed-device policies, and the browser itself remain outside the site’s control.
Compatibility note: PDF is a complex format. Very large, encrypted, malformed, digitally signed, or unusually constructed files may not process correctly. Keep the original document until you have checked the result.
Frequently asked questions
Which actions are available?
The batch queue can remove common metadata, add page numbers, or add a text watermark while preserving the PDF page structure.
What happens when one PDF fails?
Continue after errors is enabled by default, so the queue marks that file as failed and continues with the remaining documents.
Are filenames or documents stored?
No. Files remain in temporary browser memory, and privacy-safe diagnostics exclude filenames and document contents.
