What Our Forensic Tool Examines

We use advanced forensic techniques to detect modifications, even when they're invisible to the human eye

Metadata Analysis

Detects which software was used to create or modify the document. If a PDF claims to be from Chrome but has characteristics of another editor, it's a sign of manipulation.

Date Analysis

Compares creation date with modification date. If there's a significant difference, it may indicate post-creation editing.

Origin Analysis

Browsers (Chrome, Safari) always embed fonts in PDFs. If a PDF claims to be from Chrome but has no embedded fonts, it was regenerated by another tool.

Digital Signature Analysis

If a document has a digital signature and was modified afterward, the signature becomes invalid. We detect this automatically.

Incremental Update Analysis

Each time a modified PDF is saved, a special marker is added. We detect these markers to identify modifications.

Structure Analysis

When content is deleted, 'gaps' remain in the PDF's internal numbering. We also detect white rectangles that may be hiding original text.

Geometric Analysis

Manual text editing leaves subtle variations in character alignment. We detect these patterns.

Font Analysis

Multiple font types or inconsistencies may indicate that parts of the document were added later.

What We Detect

✓ We DO Detect

  • Direct PDF editing (Adobe Acrobat, PDFLeader, Sejda, etc.)
  • Incremental modifications (multiple saves)
  • PDF regeneration by online editors
  • Manual text editing (misaligned characters)
  • Content added after digital signatures
  • Deleted content (gaps in objects)
  • White rectangles hiding original text

✗ We DON'T Detect

  • HTML modification before printing to PDF (the PDF comes out 'clean' from the browser)
  • Perfect editing that completely regenerates the PDF without leaving traces
  • Automatic verification against external services (Amazon, banks, etc.)
Important Note:

If someone modifies a web page's HTML before printing it to PDF, the resulting PDF will be technically 'clean' because the browser generates it from scratch. In these cases, the only way to verify is to manually compare with the original source.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is PDF forensic auditing?

PDF forensic auditing is the process of examining a PDF document using scientific techniques to determine if it has been modified after its original creation. We use 8 specialized analyzers that examine different aspects of the file.

How does modification detection work?

We use 8 specialized server-side analyzers that examine: metadata, creation/modification dates, document origin, digital signatures, incremental updates, internal structure, text geometry, and fonts. Each analyzer looks for specific signs of tampering.

Can I detect if an invoice was modified?

Yes, our tool can detect if a PDF invoice was edited, including changes in amounts, dates, or any other content. We look for incremental updates, misaligned characters, and metadata inconsistencies.

Is my PDF stored on your servers?

Your PDF is uploaded to our secure servers for analysis only. Files are automatically deleted immediately after the analysis is complete. We do not store or retain any documents.

How reliable are the results?

Our tool uses multiple forensic techniques that examine different aspects of the document for maximum accuracy. However, for legal evidence, a certified forensic expert using court-admissible tools is always recommended.

What does the final verdict mean?

We provide 4 levels: NO ANOMALIES (document appears authentic), ANOMALIES FOUND (requires manual review), MANIPULATION DETECTED (confirmed tampering), and FRAUD HIGHLY PROBABLE (critical findings found).
