Upload your PDF into AuditApply's Editor tool and select the 'Redact' tool from the toolbar. Click and drag your cursor over the sensitive text or numbers (such as the first 8 digits of an Aadhaar card or bank account details). AuditApply applies true cryptographic redaction, burning a solid opaque blackout over the selected area and permanently deleting the underlying vector text glyphs so that the redacted data cannot be highlighted, copied, or recovered by any PDF reader.

Drawing a simple black rectangle using basic markup tools creates only a visual mask; the underlying digital text remains intact in the PDF byte-stream, meaning anyone can press Ctrl+A, copy the text, and read the 'redacted' information in Notepad. AuditApply's True Redaction physically scrubs and deletes the underlying text operators from the PDF content stream, ensuring complete and irreversible permanent data destruction.

Click the 'Signature' icon in the editor toolbar. You can: (1) Draw your signature directly using your mouse, trackpad, or touchscreen stylus, (2) Type your name to generate a stylized signature, or (3) Upload an image of your physical signature on white paper (with automatic background transparency). Once created, click anywhere on your PDF page to place, resize, and position your signature perfectly.

Yes. Select the 'Text' tool, click anywhere on the page, and start typing. You can customize font size, color, and formatting. This is ideal for adding execution dates to agreements, annotating audit working papers with reference tick marks under SA 230, or filling out non-interactive PDF application forms.

No, never. AuditApply executes 100% locally on client-side JavaScript in your browser memory. Your documents, annotations, signatures, and redacted data are processed exclusively inside your device's private memory sandbox. Zero bytes of client financial information, tax documents, or confidential contracts are ever transmitted over the network.

Yes. Under UIDAI regulations, businesses and financial institutions must only collect 'Masked Aadhaar' where the first 8 digits are obscured. Using AuditApply's Redaction tool, you can easily black out the first 8 digits of the Aadhaar number (leaving only the last 4 digits visible), creating an official, legally compliant Masked Aadhaar PDF ready for KYC compliance.

Yes. AuditApply provides full multi-page navigation. You can scroll through lengthy 50+ page contracts, add signatures across multiple signature blocks, annotate various schedules, redact sensitive clauses, and download the finished PDF completely free without watermarks or page limits.

No. AuditApply preserves the exact dimensions, vector font sharpness, high-DPI graphics, and margins of unedited sections. Only the specific areas you redact, sign, or annotate are modified in the document stream, ensuring professional, publication-grade output for court filings and regulatory submissions.

Drag and drop your PDF into AuditApply's Reorder tool. The tool immediately renders a visual thumbnail grid representing every page in your document. You can click and drag any thumbnail to reposition it in your preferred order, click the circular rotate buttons to turn upside-down or sideways pages by 90 or 180 degrees, click the trash icon to delete unwanted pages, and then click 'Save & Download' to instantly save the restructured PDF.

Yes. Sheet scanners and phone cameras frequently scan landscape schedules or receipts sideways or upside down. In AuditApply, hover over any page thumbnail and click the rotate icon to rotate that specific page by 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise. You can rotate individual pages independently without affecting upright portrait pages in the rest of the document.

No. AuditApply performs structural dictionary-level modifications using PDF-Lib and WebAssembly. It alters the internal /Rotate and /Kids page tree pointers in the PDF metadata without rasterizing, flattening, or re-compressing underlying text streams, font vectors, or high-resolution images. The output file retains 100% of its original print-quality sharpness.

No, never. AuditApply executes 100% locally in your web browser. When you load sensitive board minutes, financial records, or litigation briefs, all page rendering, drag-and-drop manipulation, and file rebuilding occur entirely inside your computer's local memory sandbox. Zero bytes of client data are ever transmitted over the network.

Yes. High-speed duplex document scanners often produce unwanted blank back-pages, and manual scanning can result in accidental duplicate captures. In AuditApply's visual grid, simply click the delete button on any unwanted thumbnail to permanently purge that page from the document, reducing file weight and ensuring a clean presentation.

Under Rule 18 of the ITAT Rules, paper books must present documentary evidence in strict chronological order with consistent running pagination. When compiling submissions from multiple departments, pages often arrive scrambled. AuditApply allows the CA or advocate to visually align documents in chronological order prior to applying running Bates pagination and digital signatures.

Yes. AuditApply utilizes lazy thumbnail rendering and Web Workers, enabling smooth, lag-free visual manipulation of voluminous multi-hundred page documents without crashing your web browser.

Yes. The interactive thumbnail grid displays clear, readable page previews and updated sequential page number badges in real-time as you drag cards, ensuring you can visually inspect the entire document flow before clicking Save.

A User Password (Document Open Password) is required to open, decrypt, and view the contents of the PDF. Without this password, no page can be rendered. An Owner Password (Permissions Password) allows the document to be opened and viewed freely, but restricts specific user actions such as printing, copying text/graphics, modifying pages, or extracting content. Setting both passwords provides complete control over viewing and downstream redistribution.

Under Section 8(5) of the DPDP Act, 2023, data fiduciaries (including employers, CAs, and businesses) must implement reasonable technical safeguards to protect personal data. Sending unencrypted salary slips, Form 16s, PAN cards, or bank statements via unencrypted email creates severe data breach liabilities punishable with fines up to ₹250 Crores. Encrypting PDFs with strong AES passwords before digital transmission satisfies statutory data protection mandates.

AuditApply uses standard 128-bit and 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) conforming to ISO 32000 specifications. AES is the global gold standard for cryptographic security adopted by governments, banks, and enterprise security frameworks. It employs robust key derivation functions to protect against brute-force and dictionary attacks.

Yes. By setting an Owner (Permissions) Password while leaving the User Password blank, recipients can open and read the PDF without entering any password, but their PDF reader will block them from selecting text, copying financial tables, or printing the document.

Under the ICAI Code of Ethics (Clause 1 of Part I of Second Schedule to the Chartered Accountants Act, 1949), a member is guilty of professional misconduct if they disclose confidential client affairs without specific authorization. Encrypting audit working papers (SA 230), tax computation dossiers, and payroll registers prevents accidental leaks during email transmission or cloud sharing.

No, absolutely never. AuditApply's encryption engine runs 100% locally in your web browser using client-side WebAssembly and PDF-Lib. Both your document and the password you type remain exclusively inside your device's local memory sandbox. Zero bytes of data or passwords are ever sent over the network, ensuring complete confidentiality.

Yes. AuditApply generates fully compliant standard PDF files adhering to the Adobe PDF specification. The protected files open seamlessly in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Preview, and all mobile PDF viewer apps on iOS and Android upon entering the correct password.

Because AuditApply utilizes true cryptographic AES encryption and never stores your passwords on any server, there is no 'backdoor' or password recovery mechanism. If you set a User Password, you must record or remember it, as cryptographically encrypted PDFs cannot be opened without the designated key.

Most Indian banks lock account e-statements using standard customer identity combinations: (1) SBI: Last 5 digits of registered mobile number + DOB in DDMM format (or 11-digit account number), (2) HDFC Bank: Customer ID or PAN in capital letters, (3) ICICI Bank: First 4 characters of name in lowercase + DOB in DDMM format, (4) Axis Bank: First 4 letters of name in CAPITAL + last 4 digits of Customer ID, and (5) Kotak Mahindra Bank: 8-digit CRN or DOB in DDMMYYYY format.

AuditApply uses a client-side JavaScript engine powered by PDF-Lib and WebAssembly. When you drop an encrypted PDF into the tool and enter the correct password, your web browser's local processor uses the password to decrypt the AES cryptographic cipher in-memory. It then writes a fresh, unencrypted PDF object structure without the security dictionary and triggers a direct browser download. Zero bytes of file data or passwords are ever transmitted to any remote server.

No. In compliance with cryptographic security standards and legal data protection laws, AuditApply does not perform illegal brute-force password cracking. You must provide the valid authorized password (such as your bank statement password or PAN). Once supplied, AuditApply permanently removes the password wrapper so you never have to type it again.

For e-Aadhaar PDFs downloaded from the UIDAI portal, the password is a combination of the first 4 letters of your name in CAPITAL letters followed by your 4-digit Year of Birth (e.g. SURE1990 for Suresh Kumar born in 1990). For EPFO Member Passbooks, the default password is typically the member's 12-digit Universal Account Number (UAN) or Date of Birth.

Automated bank reconciliation modules in Tally Prime, Busy, and OCR data extractors require programmatic read-access to the PDF object stream. Password-protected PDFs block background script execution, causing import errors. Decrypting the statements beforehand creates an open, machine-readable PDF that can be imported directly into ERPs or processed through AuditApply's Bank Statement Processor.

Yes. When authorized by the client to prepare accounts, statutory audits, or tax returns, Chartered Accountants and tax consultants have legitimate authority to decrypt client documents for accounting assembly and audit working paper retention under SA 230. Removing repetitive passwords simplifies document review while maintaining client confidentiality within the firm's secure internal network.

Yes. If you have multiple statements from the same bank sharing identical credentials (e.g. 12 monthly statements for a full financial year), you can type the password once into AuditApply's 'Global PDF Password' field and upload all 12 files together. The tool will automatically decrypt and unlock all files in batch mode, saving substantial administrative time.

No. AuditApply strips only the encryption metadata dictionary. All original page content streams, vector fonts, tabular coordinates, amounts, narrations, dates, stamps, and logos remain 100% identical to the original certified document, ensuring full evidentiary integrity for legal and tax scrutiny proceedings.

AuditApply uses the advanced Tesseract OCR engine compiled to WebAssembly (Wasm) running directly inside your browser. When you load a scanned PDF, the engine renders each page at high resolution onto an in-memory canvas, preprocesses the image to enhance contrast, and uses trained neural network models to recognize individual alphanumeric characters. It then generates an invisible, selectable text layer positioned with mathematical precision over the original scanned images, producing a standard searchable PDF.

No, never. Unlike conventional online OCR portals that upload your private documents to third-party web servers (often hosted outside India), AuditApply executes 100% locally on your computer. Your documents are processed entirely inside your web browser's isolated memory sandbox. Zero bytes of client financial information, tax documents, or confidential contracts are ever transmitted over the network.

Yes. Once processed by AuditApply's OCR tool, the output PDF behaves exactly like a native digital document. You can open it in any standard PDF reader (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Chrome, Edge, Preview), press Ctrl + F (or Cmd + F) to locate key terms, select text with your cursor, copy-paste paragraphs into Microsoft Word or Excel, and use markup tools to highlight lines.

For printed English text and financial tables, a resolution of 300 DPI delivers the highest accuracy (typically 98%+ accuracy on clean documents). Scanning at resolutions lower than 150 DPI can cause character merging (such as 'rn' being misread as 'm'), while scanning above 400 DPI increases processing time and memory consumption without meaningful recognition improvement.

Yes. AuditApply supports multi-page PDF processing with real-time progress tracking. Once processing completes, you have two export options: (1) Download Searchable PDF (retains all original page formatting with embedded selectable text), or (2) Download (.txt) (extracts raw text into a lightweight text file for easy import into database search engines or LLM workflows).

No. AuditApply preserves the exact visual fidelity of the original scanned document. The recognized text is embedded as an invisible overlay behind the page graphics. All physical ink signatures, rubber stamps, letterheads, handwritten notes, and paper textures remain completely unchanged, ensuring the document retains full visual credibility for legal filings.

During income tax scrutiny assessments under Section 143(3), taxpayers often furnish bundles of historical paper bills, lorry receipts, bank slips, and agreements. Converting these scanned image files into searchable PDFs allows the auditor to quickly locate specific voucher numbers, cross-verify TDS challans, and assemble evidentiary paper books with verified citations under Rule 18 of the ITAT Rules.

Yes. Once the AuditApply web application and OCR language trained data are cached in your web browser, the entire OCR workflow runs completely offline without requiring any active internet connection. This makes it ideal for highly sensitive corporate audit engagements, bank branch audits, and government defense assignments with air-gapped security protocols.

Practicing Chartered Accountants and corporate controllers commonly apply standard protective watermarks to unfinalized files: (1) 'DRAFT - FOR MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ONLY' (standard under SA 700 to indicate non-final audit opinions), (2) 'CONFIDENTIAL & PROPRIETARY' (protects financial projections and valuation models), (3) 'SUBJECT TO BOARD APPROVAL' (used for preliminary balance sheets shared with directors), and (4) 'CONFIDENTIAL - SEBI UPSI' (for listed entities managing unpublished price sensitive information).

Under Regulation 3(1) of the SEBI (Prohibition of Insider Trading) Regulations, 2015, sharing UPSI is restricted to legitimate business purposes on a need-to-know basis. Stamping prominent watermarks (e.g. 'CONFIDENTIAL UPSI - RECIPIENT NAME') on draft quarterly financial statements, merger agreements, and board packs creates clear legal notice, deters unauthorized forwarding, and assists compliance officers in establishing an audit trail in the Structured Digital Database (SDD).

Yes. AuditApply embeds the watermark layer directly into the PDF content stream behind foreground text glyphs. Combined with adjustable opacity controls (typically recommended between 15% and 25%), the watermark is prominently visible across the page while ensuring that fine table print, decimal numbers, and handwritten signatures remain 100% sharp and legible.

Yes. AuditApply supports both text watermarks (with customizable font family, font size, color, opacity, and rotation angle) and image watermarks (upload your firm's PNG or JPEG logo with transparent background to stamp corporate letterheads, audit badges, or certified true copy seals across all pages).

No. AuditApply injects native vector font objects rather than re-encoding pages as images. Adding a text watermark across a 100-page PDF typically adds less than 10 KB to the overall file size, ensuring the document remains well within strict upload limits for MCA V3 (2 MB) and Income Tax e-Filing (5 MB).

When watermarked by AuditApply, the watermark elements become an integral part of the PDF page dictionary. For maximum legal protection against unauthorized removal or editing, we recommend combining watermarking with AuditApply's Protect PDF Tool to set an Owner Password that disables editing, page extraction, and printing.

No, never. AuditApply's watermarking engine runs 100% locally in your web browser using PDF-Lib and WebAssembly. Your documents are rendered, stamped, and rebuilt entirely inside your computer's local memory sandbox. Zero bytes of client financial information, confidential contracts, or trade secrets are ever sent over the network.

Yes. You can choose to apply the watermark across all pages uniformly, restrict it to specific page ranges (such as watermarking only the financial statements while leaving cover pages clean), or select odd/even pages to accommodate bookbinding layouts.

Drag and drop your JPG, PNG, or WebP photo files into AuditApply's upload zone. You can easily drag and reorder the image thumbnails to arrange them in chronological sequence, select your preferred page size (A4, Letter, or Auto Fit), adjust margin padding, and click 'Convert to PDF'. The unified PDF is compiled instantly in your web browser memory ready for immediate download.

No. AuditApply embeds your original image bitmaps directly into the PDF object stream without lossy re-encoding or artificial downsampling. All fine handwriting, numerical figures, rubber stamp impressions, and invoice details maintain 100% of their original camera sensor clarity, ensuring full evidentiary legibility for tax scrutiny officers.

Yes. AuditApply offers three standardized layout modes: (1) A4 Portrait/Landscape: Scales images neatly onto standard ISO A4 dimensions with clean margins, which is ideal for formal MCA and court filings, (2) US Letter: Standard American paper size for international corporate correspondence, and (3) Fit to Image: Sets each PDF page's dimensions to match the exact pixel aspect ratio of the underlying photograph.

No, absolutely never. Uploading identity documents like Aadhaar cards, PAN cards, or bank cheques to cloud converter websites exposes you to severe identity theft and data retention risks. AuditApply executes 100% locally on client-side JavaScript in your browser memory. Your images never leave your computer, ensuring complete privacy under the DPDP Act, 2023.

Switch the toggle at the top of the workspace to 'PDF to Images', upload your PDF file, choose your preferred image format (High-Resolution PNG or compact JPEG), and click 'Extract Pages as Images'. AuditApply renders each PDF page onto an in-memory high-DPI canvas and packages all resulting images into a single downloadable ZIP archive.

Yes. AuditApply provides an interactive drag-and-drop thumbnail organizer. You can drag image cards to reposition pages, delete accidental duplicates, and rotate individual photos that were taken upside down or sideways before creating the final PDF.

During scrutiny assessments, the Income Tax e-Filing portal rejects loose image uploads and enforces a strict 5 MB PDF limit for evidentiary submissions. Converting bundles of physical cash vouchers, delivery challans, and bills into a clean, paginated PDF allows the Chartered Accountant to compile audit-ready annexures that can be cited in written submissions under Rule 18 of the ITAT Rules.

No. While commercial PDF websites limit free users to converting 5 to 10 images at a time, AuditApply enforces no artificial file count or size limits. Because processing leverages your local computer's memory and CPU rather than costly cloud servers, you can combine dozens of photos into multi-page PDF dossiers completely free without watermarks or paywalls.

Drag and drop your PDF file into AuditApply's Content Extractor. Select the 'Extract Images' tab. Our client-side engine traverses the PDF document's internal object tree, locates all XObject image streams, and decodes them directly into raw PNG, JPEG, or WebP files at their original native resolution. You can preview all extracted images on screen and download them individually or as a single consolidated ZIP archive with a single click.

Yes. Select the 'Extract Text' tab and upload your PDF. The tool extracts all unicode character streams across all pages while preserving line breaks, paragraph separations, and reading order. You can copy the extracted text to your clipboard with one click or click 'Download Text (.txt)' to save it for immediate import into word processors, databases, or AI analysis pipelines.

No. Unlike screenshot tools or low-tier converter websites that capture screen-resolution rasterizations, AuditApply pulls the exact binary image byte-stream stored inside the PDF dictionary. If the original author embedded a high-resolution 300 DPI photograph or 4K chart, AuditApply extracts that exact original asset without a single pixel of compression or quality loss.

No, absolutely never. AuditApply executes 100% locally in your web browser using PDF-Lib and WebAssembly. Your documents, extracted text, and recovered image assets remain entirely inside your computer's local memory sandbox. Zero bytes of confidential corporate records, director photos, or financial data are ever transmitted over the network.

Converting a page to an image takes a visual snapshot of the entire composite page (including text, margins, background, and headers). Extracting embedded images isolates only the specific standalone photographs, vector logos, or artwork embedded within the document as independent image files, completely free of surrounding page margins or overlapping text.

If your PDF is a scanned document (a collection of photocopies or smartphone photos), the text is stored as image pixels rather than native digital text glyphs. For scanned paper documents, use AuditApply's built-in OCR PDF Tool, which runs optical character recognition to read the text and produce a searchable text stream.

During forensic accounting investigations, auditors extract embedded images to inspect resolution anomalies, color profiles, and boundary artifacts. If an invoice contains an official seal or signature with a different DPI or color compression profile than the rest of the document, it indicates that the signature was digitally copied and pasted from another file, providing conclusive evidence of document tampering.

No. Because all computation executes locally using your computer's own processor and memory, AuditApply enforces no artificial limits. You can extract hundreds of high-resolution images from massive 200+ page corporate reports or catalogs completely free without watermarks or paid subscriptions.

AuditApply uses a dedicated client-side JavaScript document reconstruction pipeline. When you open a PDF in AuditApply, the document is decoded directly in your web browser's local sandbox memory. The parser extracts text glyphs, font properties, spatial line coordinates, and table borders, and packages them into a valid OpenXML (.docx) document structure entirely on your computer. Zero bytes of confidential data are ever uploaded to any cloud server.

Yes. AuditApply's conversion engine analyzes spatial coordinates to reconstruct continuous flowable paragraphs rather than isolated text boxes. It identifies horizontal and vertical table gridlines to synthesize native Microsoft Word table structures with editable cells, and maps font weights (bold, italic) and heading sizes to preserve the original document's visual hierarchy.

Yes, 100% secure. Commercial cloud converters transmit your confidential files over the internet to remote servers, exposing sensitive business contracts, proprietary financial figures, and client agreements to potential security breaches and unauthorized data retention. AuditApply executes 100% locally inside your browser. You can safely disconnect your internet connection and verify that the conversion runs completely offline.

AuditApply's PDF to Word converter is designed for digital, text-based PDF documents (such as files exported from Word, Google Docs, accounting software, or legal databases). If your PDF consists of scanned raster images or photos of paper pages, the file contains image pixels rather than native text. For scanned documents, run the PDF through AuditApply's built-in OCR PDF Tool first to convert images into text before converting to Word.

Yes. AuditApply exports standard Office Open XML (.docx) files that are 100% compatible with Microsoft Word (2007 through Office 365), Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, Apple Pages, and WPS Office without formatting corruption or missing font errors.

No. Unlike cloud-based converter websites that enforce a strict 2-to-5 page limit on free users and require recurring paid subscriptions for multi-page documents, AuditApply offers unlimited page conversions. Because all processing executes on your computer's local hardware rather than third-party cloud servers, you can convert lengthy 100+ page contracts and reports for free.

AuditApply provides the privacy and unlimited page capabilities of costly desktop software like Adobe Acrobat Pro without requiring expensive annual subscriptions, software installations, or cloud file transfers. You get immediate, free conversion in your web browser with complete guarantee of document privacy and zero watermarks.

No. AuditApply never inserts promotional watermarks, trial banners, truncated pages, or advertising into your converted Microsoft Word documents. The output is a clean, professional, fully editable .docx file ready for client submission, court filing, or internal executive review.

AuditApply uses client-side JavaScript libraries running directly in your web browser's memory sandbox. When you load a .docx file, our browser engine parses the underlying Open Packaging Convention (XML) structure of the document, maps Word styles and tables to clean layout containers, and compiles them directly into a standard ISO PDF using client-side rendering. Zero bytes of your file are ever transmitted to any external server.

Yes. AuditApply preserves tabular structures, borders, text alignments, paragraph spacings, and heading hierarchies from your Word document. The resulting PDF ensures that fine financial figures, multi-column schedules, and clause numbering remain crisp and properly formatted for official presentation.

No, absolutely never. Unlike typical online converters that upload your files to remote web servers (frequently outside India), AuditApply executes 100% locally on your computer. Your confidential client contracts, board resolutions, and tax submissions remain entirely private inside your device's browser memory.

Yes. AuditApply enforces no artificial page limits or document size caps. Because processing leverages your own computer's processor and RAM rather than shared cloud infrastructure, you can convert lengthy annual report drafts, litigation briefs, or voluminous agreements completely free.

Word documents (.docx) are editable formats vulnerable to accidental modification or claims of tampering in judicial proceedings. Converting final contracts to PDF freezes the document into a non-editable, tamper-evident format with a consistent cryptographic hash, ensuring legal validity and electronic record admissibility under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act (now Section 63 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023).

AuditApply is optimized for modern Office Open XML documents (.docx), which have been the standard Microsoft Word format since Office 2007. If you have a legacy binary .doc file, simply open it in Word or Google Docs, save it as .docx, and drop it into AuditApply for instant client-side conversion.

Yes. Once AuditApply converts your Word document into a PDF, you can immediately open it in AuditApply's built-in Digital Signature Tool to affix your Class 3 USB token digital signature (eMudhra, Capricorn, ProxKey) for direct filing on the MCA V3 or Income Tax portal.

No. AuditApply never adds promotional watermarks, trial banners, truncated pages, or advertising into your converted PDF documents. The output is a clean, professional, publication-grade PDF file ready for client submission, court filing, or internal executive review.

Under Rule 18 of the ITAT Rules, 1963, a paper book must be bound with an index detailing description of documents, whether they were filed before the lower authorities, and consecutive page numbering from 1 to N. Each documentary exhibit must be stamped clearly (e.g. Annexure A-1, A-2) and certified as a true copy by the authorized representative or appellant. Proper running pagination ensures the Hon'ble Bench can refer to cited balance sheets, agreements, and remand reports without confusion during oral arguments.

In the National Faceless Assessment Centre (NaFAC) environment, written submissions and documentary exhibits are uploaded as electronic PDF attachments through the e-Filing portal. When a submission contains hundreds of invoices, bank statements, and confirmation letters, stamping unique Bates numbers (e.g. Page 1 to 350) and Annexure labels allows the tax professional to write clear, cross-referenced paragraphs in the written response (e.g. 'Refer Annexure 4 at Bates Page 45-52'), preventing additions due to non-verification.

Yes. AuditApply provides comprehensive customization: (1) Custom Prefix (e.g. 'ANNEXURE-', 'EXHIBIT-', 'ITEM-'), (2) Flexible start number and zero-padding (e.g. 001 vs 1), (3) Six position presets (Top-Left, Top-Center, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Center, Bottom-Right) with margin padding adjustments, (4) Font size, color (Black, Red, Blue, Grey), and opacity, and (5) Optional 'True Copy' endorsement footer stamping.

Under Section 65B of the Indian Evidence Act (now Section 63 of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023) and High Court Appellate Side Rules, secondary documentary evidence and annexures must be endorsed with a 'Certified True Copy' stamp signed by the advocate, Chartered Accountant, or authorized company officer. AuditApply allows you to automatically stamp this certification alongside running pagination on every page or on the terminal page of each exhibit.

Yes. You can drag and drop multiple PDF files into AuditApply simultaneously. The tool will process them in sequence, automatically incrementing the Annexure identifier (File 1 = Annexure 1, File 2 = Annexure 2...) or applying continuous running Bates pagination across all documents (File 1: Pages 1–15, File 2: Pages 16–42). You can then download the stamped files individually or as a single merged Master PDF.

AuditApply modifies the PDF document at the native byte-stream level using client-side WebAssembly and PDF-Lib. It injects vector font glyphs into the page content stream without rasterizing or flattening the underlying text. As a result, original text remains 100% searchable, selectable, and high-DPI crisp when printed, and file sizes remain compact.

Yes. You can toggle between Annexure Prefix Mode (which tags each distinct file with an alphanumeric identifier), Bates Numbering Mode (which stamps running sequential numbers across every individual page), or Dynamic 'Page X of Y' Mode to suit court filing specifications.

No, never. AuditApply operates 100% locally on client-side JavaScript in your browser memory. When you stamp sensitive legal petitions, confidential arbitration claims, or tax scrutiny records, all processing occurs inside your device's sandbox. Zero bytes of client evidence or privileged legal documents are ever transmitted over the network or stored in external databases.
