Lift the veil. Or lay it down. — Local PDF security toolkit: fix broken copy-paste, protect documents, detect hidden content, AI extraction via Ollama. Rust + Python + Zig. VeilPDF fixes PDFs with broken copy-paste (font obfuscation), protects your documents with invisible watermarks + AES-256, detects fake redactions, and summarizes via local Ollama — zero cloud, zero cost, runs entirely on your machine. Built with Rust + Python + Zig.

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 Built VeilPDF after a frustrating experience — copying text from academic PDFs and getting complete gibberish. Turns out that's intentional: publishers break Unicode mappings so copy-paste fails while the PDF looks visually perfect. No clean open-source tool existed for this, so I built one that covers the full lifecycle: → recover: fix broken PDFs, OCR fallback for scanned docs → protect: obfuscate your own PDFs, watermark, AES-256 → forensics: detect fake redactions, font fingerprints → ai: summarize and extract via Ollama — fully offline One command sets everything up: git clone && ./veilpdf Would love your feedback!
