NoblePDF is an independently developed service operated from Queensland, Australia. These terms apply to use of the NoblePDF website and browser tools.
1. Using NoblePDF
NoblePDF provides browser-based PDF and document tools. You may use the service for documents you are authorised to access and process. You are responsible for deciding whether a particular conversion, edit, signature, redaction or export is appropriate for your document and for keeping any required original or backup copy.
2. Local processing and browser requirements
Many NoblePDF workflows perform their document processing in your browser. This can reduce application-server handling of your files, but it also means results depend on the capabilities and resources of your device. Large documents, complex scans, memory pressure, browser security restrictions or unsupported file features can cause a tool to fail or produce a simplified result. Keep the source document until you have checked the output.
3. Request Signatures
Request Signatures is a cloud-assisted feature. When you deliberately use it, the PDF, signer contact details, signing-field positions and optional message are temporarily transferred to NoblePDF so the invited signer can access the request. The original PDF and signing response are stored encrypted in private application storage and are designed to be deleted within four days. Cancelling a pending request disables its secure link immediately and triggers encrypted-file deletion. You must have authority to send the document and to provide the signer’s contact details for this purpose.
The signing link is a bearer link: anyone who obtains the unexpired link can access and complete the request. The signing page does not fetch the PDF bytes until the recipient explicitly chooses to open the document. NoblePDF’s first release does not independently verify that the person using the link is the named signer, so senders and signers are responsible for keeping the link private and using an appropriate delivery channel for the sensitivity of the document.
On completion, NoblePDF stores a constrained signing response rather than accepting an arbitrary replacement completed PDF. A downloadable signed PDF is generated in the sender’s or signer’s browser from the stored original PDF, the original field definitions and the stored signing response. Interactive PDF form fields must be flattened before a document can be sent through this first release of Request Signatures. The feature records an electronic signing event, consent and hashes for the temporary request. Audit records and hashes are supporting records; they are not an independently verifiable certificate or cryptographic signature over the finished PDF. The feature does not create a certificate-based digital signature or decide whether a particular signature method satisfies a legal, regulatory, contractual or organisational requirement. You and the signer should independently verify the final PDF before relying on it.
4. Conversion accuracy
PDF is a presentation format and does not necessarily retain the semantic structure of the source Word document, spreadsheet or presentation. A PDF-to-Word or PDF-to-Excel conversion therefore reconstructs an editable representation from available page content; it cannot recover information that was never stored in the PDF. OCR is probabilistic and can misread text. Spreadsheet and presentation conversions may not reproduce every chart, macro, animation, formula engine behaviour, print setting or proprietary layout feature.
5. Redaction and sensitive information
Covering visible text with a shape is not automatically secure redaction. Before sharing a sensitive document, use a workflow designed to remove the underlying content and verify the exported file. Likewise, signatures, passwords and form fields can carry legal or security consequences. NoblePDF supplies tools; it does not decide whether a particular electronic signature, archival format or transformed document satisfies a legal, regulatory or organisational requirement.
6. Prohibited use
Do not use NoblePDF to violate law, infringe another person’s rights, distribute malware, attempt unauthorised access, interfere with the service, bypass security controls or process material you have no right to possess. Do not intentionally overload the site or use automated activity in a way that degrades access for other visitors.
7. Availability
NoblePDF may change, fix, add or remove functionality as the software evolves. No browser application can guarantee uninterrupted operation on every device or every valid PDF. Where practical, NoblePDF uses release gates and self-hosted dependencies to make behaviour reproducible, but you should maintain copies of important originals and independently verify important outputs.
8. Open-source software
NoblePDF incorporates open-source components governed by their respective licences. The Licences page provides the public dependency inventory, while the engineering package contains fuller notices. Those third-party licences continue to apply to their components.
9. Editor plan and cancellation
The full editor lets you work on a document before subscribing. Exporting its output requires a NoblePDF Pro subscription. The plan is AUD $1.99 per month with a two-day free trial for eligible new subscribers. At checkout, you authorise an automatically renewing monthly charge after the trial unless you cancel. You can cancel through Manage billing in your editor account; access lasts through the paid billing period or until the trial ends if canceled during the trial. Your checkout screen shows the applicable dates and total. The standalone tools on the public site remain free. For refunds or billing questions, contact contact@noblepdf.com. Statutory consumer rights continue to apply. See Pricing for details.
10. Responsibility for results
You should review any document produced by an automated conversion, OCR, compression or editing operation before relying on it. For legal filings, archival records, accessibility deliverables, financial records or other high-consequence documents, use the verification procedures required by the receiving organisation and seek appropriate professional advice where necessary.
