## Common questions

### Do users of a self-hosted PdfCraft Web UI need accounts or telemetry?

No, the project describes PdfCraft as having no account and no cloud. It also says it has no telemetry and works offline.

### How are PDF edits saved when using the app?

Every save appends changes and leaves the original bytes untouched. Writes are atomic, and the source says nothing is lost if you close by mistake.

### Can PdfCraft open encrypted PDF files?

Yes. It reports support for RC4 through AES-256 encryption and honors author permissions.

### Can a self-hoster use PdfCraft to assemble or split documents without losing features?

Yes. It can combine, extract, and split documents while keeping links, form fields, layers, and bookmarks intact.

### What branding restrictions apply to modified self-hosted copies?

The ArtCraft name and logos are trademarks and not open source. Forks and modified versions must remove them.
