How does it work?

pdf-lib reads the document's AcroForm and maps each field to a small summary. Field values are not displayed or uploaded.

The page count is checked separately so large documents stay within the same browser-memory boundary as the other PDF tools.

What are the edge cases and limits?

  • PDF size is limited to 25 MB and page count to 100 pages.
  • This tool inspects AcroForm fields; it does not OCR printed blanks or inspect XFA form packages.
  • Changing or signing a PDF is outside this tool's scope, and digital signature validity should be checked in a dedicated PDF application.
