Current retention by workflow
| Workflow | Tools | Current behaviour |
|---|---|---|
| In-memory priority tools | Compress PDF and JPG to PDF | This tool processes the uploaded file in memory and does not add it to a document library or user account. |
| Temporary-directory priority tools | Merge, Split, PDF to Word and Word to PDF | This conversion may use a temporary working directory. Temporary input and output files are removed after the response is delivered. |
| PDF editor session | Edit PDF and Sign PDF | The temporary session is removed after a successful export or reset. Abandoned sessions are eligible for expiry after the configured 30-minute window. |
Temporary processing
Temporary conversion directories are removed after the application has read the result into the response. Operating-system and container cleanup provide an additional lifecycle boundary, not the primary deletion promise.
PDF editor sessions
PDF editor sessions are configured to expire after 30 minutes. Current cleanup is request-driven: expired directories are removed when later editor requests trigger cleanup, and container lifecycle cleanup may also remove them. Do not interpret the 30-minute setting as a guaranteed deletion timestamp.
Infrastructure records
Application cleanup does not control reverse-proxy logs, hosting telemetry or backups. The production operator must confirm those retention periods separately.
