Questions
Will the PDF look different?
Pages keep their look. Invisible text is laid on top so you can search and copy it.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs inside your browser, and the page is blocked from sending data anywhere. You can check by turning off your internet connection: it keeps working.
