## Private by design

Your PDF is opened and rewritten inside your browser. It is never sent to a server, so confidential files are as safe as they are on your own computer.

## Good to know

The page gets bigger and the content stays the same size. If you need the result to stay A4, run Change page size afterwards.

## Questions

### Does the text stay selectable?

Yes. The page is only extended, nothing is converted to an image.

### Why add a margin on one side only?

For binding, hole punching or room for handwritten notes.
