How it works
Process reads the file in this tab and shows encryption against permission flags, page count, and extra objects. Optional string check. Nothing is downloaded unless you choose another tool. The job runs in this tab. The file is not posted to PactPDF. Inspect reports. It does not change the file.
On this device
The file stays in this tab. The report is on the page. Close the tab and the job is gone. There is no locker.
When to use
A clerk checking whether a pack has an open password or only a print flag. A file you received and need to know if it is locked before you merge or protect it. Tender annexes that must open without a password wall.
When not to use
Removing the lock. Inspect reports. Decrypt and Unlock do the change. Unlock is flags only. Decrypt needs the password you already know. We do not guess passwords.
