Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about PDF Ghost
How does PDF fingerprinting work?
PDF Ghost embeds unique, invisible fingerprints into each copy using metadata, content modification, and structural changes. Readers can't see them, but PDF Ghost can detect and trace them back to the original recipient.
Can fingerprints be removed?
Fingerprints survive printing, scanning, screenshots, and format conversions. They're embedded across multiple layers, so stripping all of them would visibly degrade the document.
Who should use PDF Ghost?
Legal firms, financial institutions, healthcare organizations, and corporate teams — any team that shares confidential documents with outside parties and needs to know if one leaks.
How accurate is leak detection?
The multi-channel approach means at least one fingerprint survives most modifications, so you can identify the source even from altered or converted documents.
Is this compliant with regulations?
Yes. PDF Ghost provides complete audit trails and document tracking to support GDPR, HIPAA, and similar frameworks. The audit history gives you documented evidence of due diligence.
How many recipients can I track?
It depends on your plan. Free plans support a limited number of recipients. Pro and Enterprise plans support hundreds or thousands of uniquely fingerprinted copies per document.
