I want to merge a few monthly bank statements into one PDF for a loan application, but I’m wary of uploading them to PDF Room. Is that site actually safe for sensitive files like these?
Honestly, I wouldn’t risk uploading bank statments to any online tool. The simplest thing is to just merge them offline on your computer so nothing leaves your machine. Mac Preview or an offline app works fine for that.
Yeah that worry is valid, I would not upload bank statements to a random site, you don’t know how long they retain copies or who can access them in the meantime. For something like merging statements I’d just use the built in print to PDF or preview app on your computer instead, keeps everything local. Also always keep a backup of the originals before you combine anything, in case the merged file gets messed up.
When I had to combine my own statements for a loan, I didn’t want to upload them to random websites either. I just pasted the pages into a blank Microsoft Word document and saved it as a single PDF. It keeps all your sensitive financial details safely on your own computer.
