{% call details(_("What data are you storing about me?")) %} {% trans -%} The data we store are:
  • the PDF files you upload (in RAM only; see next question);
  • anonymous daily statistics (such as today, XXX files have been processed using layout XXX, totalizing XXX Mb..
That's all. Nothing more. {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("So you don't use cookies?")) %} {% trans -%} We do use cookies, but not to track you. The cookies are only used to remember your prefered language, if set by choosing it in the top menu. {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("Who have access to the files I upload here?")) %} {% trans -%}
  • Short answer: Do not upload here anything you would not want to be public.
  • Long answer: Nobody will look to the files you upload. However:
    • technically, I (the author and maintainer of this website) have access to everything you upload (but I won't bother reading it);
    • although I did my best, there might be security issues, and your files might be publicly accessible without my knowledge;
    • malicious hackers might try and gain access to the server.
    If you are not happy with it, you can use this software locally (see next question).
{%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("How can I use this tool locally?")) %} {% trans -%} You can either:
  • install this webserver locally and run it from your computer;
  • locally install the underlying tools (pdfimpose and pdfautonup). However, as far as I know, no one bothered to build a graphical user interface to them, so you will need to know a bit of command line to use them.
Both solutions require a bit of technical knowledge… {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("I found a bug. How do I report it?")) %} {% trans -%} You can either open an issue on Framagit or send me an email: contact(at)pdfimpose(dot)it. {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("And if I don't speak English?")) %} {% trans -%} French-speaking users can contact us at the very same address: contact(at)pdfimpose(dot)it. Other languages? Sorry… {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("I have an idea to improve the user experience: we might just…")) %} {% trans -%}
  • Short answer: NO!
  • Long answer: I suck at designing easy-to-use applications. I spent ages coding this website, and I would spend hours to implement a tiny improvement. So I probably won't do it. However, if you can do it, I will be happy to merge your pull-request.
{%- endtrans %} {% endcall %} {% call details(_("Images are barely readable. Wouldn't videos be far more explanatories to explain the different layouts?")) %} {% trans -%} I wholly agree. But if I were to make them, I would spend hours for deplorable results. But I will be happy to include your videos! {%- endtrans %} {% endcall %}
