PDF Archive Help

Once logged into your PDF Archive account, click on the icon in the navigation bar or select Upload a file in the "My Files" section.
Choose the library where you want to store your file, enter a description and keywords if necessary, and specify the retention period for your file (default: unlimited).
Next, select the file to archive or drag it to the upload area.
Voilà! Your file is securely archived and can be accessed at any time through your File Manager.

Multiple file upload is available for Premium Account users only. It allows you to send up to 1,000 (one thousand) files at once.

All your archived files (regardless of the library they are stored in) can be accessed through the File Manager link in your navigation bar. You can also access your files through the Libraries page.

The site's search engine allows you to easily retrieve your data. The search covers archived files, received files, public shares, libraries, notes, contacts, private messages, as well as your permanent QR codes.
We suggest adding the date to the file name to easily find all the archived files from a specific year or month. For example, a recommended name format is: "20230603 File Name.pdf".
It is also advisable to fill in the "file description" and "keywords" fields to effectively organize your documents and find them in a flash!

The "Find duplicates" tool allows you to find strictly identical files present in your libraries. Duplicate files are identified by comparing their SHA512 hash values.

When sending your documents, we automatically generate and store their MD5 and SHA512 signatures. This allows you to compare the signatures of your documents at any time to verify their integrity. For added security, it is suggested to store the signatures on a separate service that does not allow modifications. For example, you can enable "Proof of storage" on your Settings / Notifications page to automatically receive a copy of the signatures via email when sending your files.
We also offer an online service that easily generates MD5 and SHA512 checksums for any file:
MD5: https://md5.pdf-archive.com/
SHA512: https://sha512.pdf-archive.com/
