PDF Storage Policy 

Mandatory Storage in App Directory

To comply with Android’s Scoped Storage policy (introduced in Android 10 and later) and to ensure uninterrupted access to PDF files, all imported PDFs must be stored within the app’s private directory. This is necessary to prevent permission-related issues that may restrict the app’s ability to open, modify, or detect files stored in external locations such as Downloads, Documents, or other third-party file managers.

Automatic File Import & Storage

When a user imports or opens a PDF through the app, whether the app is active or running in the background, the file is automatically copied to the app’s internal directory. This ensures continued access to the file without requiring additional permissions.

Data Integrity & Editing Protection

Files stored in the app’s directory are protected from third-party modifications, accidental deletions, or restrictions imposed by Android system updates. Any annotations, signatures, or edits made to the file will be securely saved within the app, ensuring no data loss.

Performance & Accessibility

Storing PDFs in the app’s directory enhances performance by allowing faster file access, optimized loading times, and seamless interaction with app features. Files stored outside of the app’s directory may not function properly or may require manual re-importing due to system restrictions.

File Retention & Export

Users may export modified PDFs at any time to an external location of their choice. However, until exported, all files must remain within the app’s directory to guarantee accessibility and prevent disruptions in functionality.

Compliance with System Policies

By using this application, the user acknowledges and agrees that PDF files must be stored within the app’s directory to ensure compliance with Android’s file access policies. The app is not responsible for any issues arising from attempts to access externally stored PDFs.

By continuing to use the app, you accept and agree to these storage requirements.
