Yes. Electronic signatures created with PDFTash are legally valid under the US ESIGN Act (2000) and UETA, the EU eIDAS Regulation, the UK Electronic Communications Act, and equivalent e-signature laws in over 60 countries. For most contracts, NDAs, settlement agreements, retainer letters and legal documents, an e-signature has identical legal enforceability to a wet ink signature. Note that certain documents — wills, powers of attorney, real estate deeds in some jurisdictions — may require notarization or a higher level of signature assurance.
Yes. PDFTash Merge PDF combines any number of PDF files into a single organized document. Upload pleadings, exhibits, affidavits and supporting documents, drag to reorder pages, and download as a clean single PDF. There is no limit on the number of files you can merge, and the process takes seconds regardless of total file count.
Upload your court document to PDFTash Compress PDF. The tool compresses automatically, reducing file size by 50–90% while preserving all text quality (text in PDFs is vector data and never degrades during compression). For specific size targets required by court portals, run a second compression pass on the already-compressed file to reach any size limit.
PDFTash uses TLS/HTTPS encryption for all transfers, processes each file in an isolated server environment, and permanently deletes all uploads within 2 hours. No PDFTash staff ever read your documents. Files are never shared with third parties or retained beyond the 2-hour processing window. For maximum confidentiality, PDFTash Pro includes enhanced privacy mode with immediate file deletion upon download.
Yes. Upload any contract, pleading or legal document to PDFTash Chat with PDF and ask: "What are the key obligations of each party?", "Identify all limitation of liability clauses", or "Summarize this settlement agreement in plain English." AI reads the entire document and answers based on actual content. Useful for quick contract review, identifying key provisions, and cross-referencing documents efficiently.
Yes. PDFTash Translate PDF converts entire legal documents to or from 50+ languages while preserving the original layout, paragraph structure, headers and footers. Useful for immigration cases with foreign-language records, international transactions requiring translated agreements, and cross-border litigation with documents in multiple languages. The translation preserves the document structure so it remains professionally formatted for submission.
