Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data safe from AI scrapers and cloud training models?

Absolutely. In the era of AI, many online tools upload your files to cloud servers, where they risk being scraped, indexed, or used to train machine learning models. CedarPDF is different: we process everything 100% locally in your browser. Your files never leave your device, ensuring complete zero-knowledge privacy.

How do I know you aren't uploading my files?

You can verify this yourself! Open your browser's Developer Tools (F12) and go to the 'Network' tab while using CedarPDF. You will see zero POST requests or file uploads. All processing happens locally in your browser's JavaScript engine.

Can I select all pages at once?
Yes! Use the "Select All" button in the top toolbar to instantly select every page in the document. You can then deselect specific pages if needed.
Does rotating a page affect the final extracted file?
Yes. If you rotate a page using the rotate icon, that rotation is permanently applied to the page in the final extracted PDF.
Can I delete pages before extracting?
Absolutely. Click the Delete (✕) icon on any thumbnail to remove that page from the view. Deleted pages cannot be selected for extraction.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes! CedarPDF is fully responsive and works on all modern devices — Windows PCs, Macs, Linux, iPhones, iPads, and Android tablets. The interface automatically adapts to your screen size, with touch-optimized controls for mobile users. Since everything runs in your browser, there's nothing to install.
Is CedarPDF really free? How do you make money?
Yes, 100% free — forever. CedarPDF is a non-profit project developed by a team in Canada. All team members work voluntarily because we believe essential digital tools should be accessible to everyone. We have no investors, no ads, no data collection, and no plans to introduce paid tiers.
Why can't some PDFs be extracted or edited?
CedarPDF supports standard PDFs, but some files may have restrictions:
  • 🔒 Encrypted/Password Protected: Files with owner passwords or editing restrictions cannot be modified without the password.
  • ⚠️ Corrupted or Malformed: PDFs with broken internal structures (e.g., from faulty exports) may fail compatibility checks.
  • ⚙️ Special Formats: Some enterprise/internal PDFs use proprietary extensions, linearized streaming, or non-standard compression that our frontend-only engine cannot safely rewrite.

💡 Tip: If your file is locked or has a non-standard structure, please use our Unlock PDF tool first to remove restrictions before extracting pages.
