Frequently Asked Questions

What is the purpose of your services?
Most of our services are intended to solve simple computer problems which we have faced, or rather, that we thought should have been simple to solve, but at the time didn’t have a simple and quick solution. We find ourselves using our own webapps ourselves all the time!

Why use your online services rather than downloading a program online?
If your work involves merging PDF files all the time, downloading a dedicated program might be a better option. However, if you only require occasional merging of PDF files or you are not always using the same computer, you might get the job done quicker with our service. And if you are just finishing a final report at the library, it can be handy to merge in the cover page without downloading any program. In addition, your computer will be cleaner, with one less software installed on your computer.

What is the difference between your free basic services and the subscription services?
Currently, our services are all free. However, we plan to launch a paid secure ad-free service, where all file transfers will be via SSL (https). Please contact us if you are interested in this service.

Where can I download your program? / How do I install your software?
There is no download or installation involved! All our services are webapps, which means you only need a web browser (and some PDF files), and you are good to go.

What is HTTPS?
HTTPS encrypts and decrypts the page requests and page information between the client browser and the web server using a secure Socket Layer (SSL). Web URLs beginning with HTTPS indicate that the connection between client and browser is encrypted using SSL.
Basically, it means that when you are using a HTTPS web, your data and communication is as secure as possible. However, when using simple HTTP all the data is sent without encryption and anyone with access to the server or a link between you and the server could capture your information. If you need to work online with files whose security you are concerned about, you should always make sure that you are using HTTPS.
