Adobe charges $239/year and uploads your documents to their servers. Vexifa PDF Suite gives you local AI, redaction integrity checking, PII scanning, and one-click table extraction — free to start, private by design.
These aren't incremental improvements. Each one solves a problem you've accepted as unsolvable for years.
Ask questions about any document in plain English. The AI reads your actual content — tables, columns, clauses — not just raw characters. Runs entirely via Ollama. Your document never leaves your machine.
Before you've scrolled past page one, Vexifa has already read your document and surfaced an AI-generated brief: parties, key dates, deadlines, and a plain-English summary. No competitor does this automatically.
Court filings and government documents are leaked every year because a black rectangle was drawn over text that's still selectable in the PDF stream. Vexifa detects this automatically on every open and flags it before the document leaves your hands.
Instantly scan for SSNs, credit cards, phone numbers, email addresses, IBANs, and more — before you hit send. Runs entirely on-device. No API call, no upload, no exposure. One-click redact any finding.
Right-click any table in a PDF. Choose Export to Excel, Copy as CSV, or Export as JSON. The table structure is understood — headers, rows, multi-page tables. No manual retyping. Ever again.
Copying text from a PDF has been broken for 30 years. Hyphen artifacts, column-order errors, spurious line breaks — Vexifa normalizes all of it before it ever reaches your clipboard. You may not notice. That's the point.
Vexifa PDF Suite is a native Windows application built on Tauri 2.0 and Rust, using PDFium — the same rendering engine that powers Google Chrome. It renders at native resolution, uses no background services, and installs in under 30MB.
Adobe Acrobat installs 1.5GB and runs six background processes. Vexifa installs in seconds and does more.
PDFium-based rendering at native resolution. Zoom, dark mode, virtual scroll for documents of any size.
Highlight, underline, strikeout, sticky note. Written back to the PDF stream — compatible with Acrobat and every reader.
Reorder, rotate, split, merge, extract pages. Everything you do in Acrobat, with a drag-and-drop thumbnail sidebar.
Make scanned documents searchable. Runs locally via Tesseract. Unlimited pages, no per-page cost.
Redaction integrity, broken links, unembedded fonts, low-resolution images — checked automatically on every open.
SSNs, credit cards, phone numbers, emails, IBANs — detected instantly before any document leaves your hands.
Chat with any PDF. Automatic brief on open. Semantic search. PII NER layer. All local via Ollama.
Content removed from the PDF stream — not covered. Metadata scrubbed. Cannot be undone by any reader.
Real PKI-backed signatures using your OS certificate store. RFC 3161 timestamps. Verifiable by any conforming reader.
Right-click any table. Export as .xlsx, CSV, or JSON. Multi-page tables handled. No manual retyping.
AES-128 encryption. Granular permissions: print, copy, modify, annotate. Open any password-protected file.
Apply watermarks, OCR, redaction, export, or signatures to hundreds of files at once. Full progress reporting.
Export to Word, Excel, PowerPoint. Import Office files as PDF. Convert web pages. Uses LibreOffice or Chrome/Edge — no cloud.
Create AcroForm fields from scratch — text, checkbox, dropdown, signature, date. Drag-and-drop placement, tab-order editor, import/export form data.
Search and redact SSNs, IBANs, credit cards, and custom regex patterns across the entire document at once. Preview matches before applying.
Strip embedded JavaScript, hidden text, revision history, XMP author metadata, and external resource links before sharing.
XFDF annotation exchange compatible with Acrobat and Foxit. Real-time shared review sessions over LAN — no cloud required.
Send documents for legally binding signature via DocuSign or Dropbox Sign. Track status in-app. Download the completed PDF when all parties sign.
Translate the full text of a document to any language while preserving layout. Runs via local Ollama or cloud model of your choice.
Specialized AI modes for contracts (parties, obligations, risk), invoices (arithmetic validation), and academic papers. All local-first.
Add headers and footers with page number tokens. Diagonal watermarks with opacity control. Bates numbering with prefix and padding.
In-document text replacement across any page range. Case-sensitive and whole-word options. Reports pages affected and replacement count.
Append-only JSONL log of every document operation — open, save, redact, sign, export. View in-app or export to CSV. Required for HIPAA and regulated workflows.
Encrypted audit log, mandatory session timeout, PIN lock, HIPAA settings panel, and a click-through BAA — all enforced at the app level. Local-first architecture means PHI never reaches a Vexifa server. $109/yr per seat, 90-day free trial.
PAdES-B-LT digital signatures for eIDAS-qualified signing, signer identity confirmation, e-discovery legal hold mode, and privilege acknowledgment flow. Built for attorneys who need cryptographic proof without cloud dependency. $89/yr per seat, 60-day free trial.
The vexifa CLI tool runs health checks, converts, merges, redacts, and signs PDFs from the terminal. The browser extension converts any web page to PDF in one click — runs locally, nothing uploaded.
