Questions

How strong is the protection?

Pockit uses AES-256, the strongest encryption in the PDF standard. Use a password that is hard to guess.

What if I forget the password?

It cannot be recovered, by Pockit or anyone else. Keep a copy of the original file.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your PDF never leaves your phone or computer.
