User Guide

Here you can see, for each module, exactly what happens when you press a button: how folder trees are processed, what happens with PDFs vs Word/Excel, and what final output you should expect.

Start with PDF Repair & Hardening if you mainly fix or harden evidence PDFs.

PDF Repair & Hardening

Everything that happens with scanned, corrupt or sensitive PDFs: rebuild, OCR, flatten and watermark – while keeping your folder structure intact.

What’s inside

Rebuild + OCR PDF – rebuilds problematic or scanned PDFs from images, then runs OCR so text stays searchable.
Flatten to Image-Only PDF – converts each page into a bitmap image, stripping editable layers and hidden content.
Office PDF Converter – converts Word and Excel files into consistent, hardened PDFs while preserving structure.
Add Watermark – burns text watermarks (like “CONFIDENTIAL” or case IDs) directly into page content.

Folder & file behaviour

Mirrors the Input folder tree under Output.
Processes only relevant types (PDF / Office).
Other files are ignored or copied untouched (per module).
Output is safe to send, archive or use as evidence.
