PDF Tools for Lawyers — Merge, Split, Sign, Redact
Overview
Legal work generates more PDFs than almost any other profession — contracts, filings, discovery bundles, case law, correspondence, and court forms. PDF Mavericks covers the core operations lawyers need daily: merge multiple documents into a filing bundle, split lengthy discovery productions into individual exhibits, sign agreements electronically, add watermarks for draft versions, and compress large case files for email. All processing happens in your browser — your client documents never leave your device.
How to Use This Tool
Use the Merge tool to assemble a court filing bundle from individual documents. Use Split to extract specific exhibits from a large production set. Use Sign to add your electronic signature to contracts and engagement letters. Use Watermark to mark draft documents. Use Compress before sending large case files via email. Each tool is accessible from the top navigation — no account required.

Are client documents safe when I use PDF Mavericks?
Yes. All operations run locally in your browser. No file data is transmitted to a server. This aligns with client confidentiality obligations since no third party ever receives the document content.
Can I redact sensitive information from legal PDFs?
PDF Mavericks offers a redaction tool for removing sensitive text and images from PDFs. For permanent, legally defensible redaction that prevents recovery, ensure you use the flatten option to eliminate the underlying data layer.
Is electronic signature legally valid for legal documents?
In most jurisdictions, electronic signatures are valid for private contracts under e-signature laws (ESIGN Act in the US, IT Act in India, eIDAS in the EU). For court filings, notarized documents, or documents requiring a digital certificate, check your jurisdiction's specific requirements.
