PDF tools for government: forms, GDPR, and archiving
1 min read·25 July 2026
Civil servants and government bodies process citizen forms, policy documents, and personal data daily. PDFrust offers privacy-friendly tools for efficient processing.
Process citizen forms
Merge processed application forms, objections, and permit applications into dossiers per citizen or case. The merge tool makes this quick and organised.
GDPR compliance: no data to external servers
Government bodies cannot simply send personal data to external cloud servers. PDFrust processes everything locally in the browser — no files are uploaded to external servers. This makes PDFrust suitable for GDPR-compliant PDF processing.

Redact personally sensitive information
Want to share a decision or report but hide ID numbers, addresses, or other personal data? The redact tool permanently removes that information — including in the underlying PDF data.
Create archive-worthy PDFs
Municipal and government archives require archive-worthy documents. Use the flatten tool and metadata tool to make documents archive-ready with the correct metadata.
