What Download Options Do I Have in Cleardox?

Download Options in Cleardox

To download your finished documents, click Download in the toolbar. From here, you can choose between Merged PDF and Split PDF.

Merged PDF

Choose Merged PDF if you want to combine your documents into one single PDF.

This is useful when you want to create one complete file containing all of the documents in your project.

Split PDF

Choose Split PDF if you want to divide the finished material into multiple files.

Depending on your project and the Cleardox modules you are using, you can split the material in different ways:

• Documents: Download the individual documents as separate files in a ZIP file.
• Binder: If you are working with Legal Binder and have created multiple binders, you can download each binder as a separate PDF.
• File size: Divide the finished material into files based on a selected maximum file size.

Splitting by File size can be particularly useful when you need to send the finished material by email or upload it to a system with limitations on file size.

Additional Download Options

Depending on the modules and features you are using, Cleardox also provides additional options when preparing your final documents.

For example, you can choose to:

• Add a Document Access Appendix to provide an overview of anonymized content.
• Include bookmarks for each document to make navigation within the finished PDF easier.

Some options are only available for specific Cleardox modules or workflows.

Steps to Download

1. Click the Download Button: Located on the left side of the toolbar.
2. Choose Your Download Option: Either combine your document into one large PDF or download a zip file with all individual documents separately.

When Using Cleardox Redact

When downloading documents that have been anonymized in Cleardox Redact, Cleardox generates a new, irreversible PDF. This means that content you have chosen to redact cannot be recreated from the downloaded document.

Unreviewed Anonymization Suggestions

If Cleardox has identified anonymization suggestions that you have not yet accepted or rejected, you will see a warning before downloading your documents.

The warning allows you to return to the document and review any remaining suggestions. If you have already reviewed the document and intentionally left certain suggestions unchanged, you can choose to continue with the download.

OCR-Processed Documents

If you are working with an OCR-processed or scanned PDF, Cleardox may also ask how you want the OCR processing to be handled in the final document.

Choose the option that best fits your workflow and security requirements. You can learn more about this in our article about OCR processing of documents in Cleardox.

When Using Legal Binder

If you are working in Legal Binder, your download options allow you to preserve the structure you have created while preparing your document collection.

For example, if your project contains multiple binders, you can use Split PDF → Binder to create a separate PDF for each binder.

Alternatively, you can use Merged PDF when you want your finished material combined into one complete PDF.

Choose the Download That Fits Your Workflow

Cleardox provides several ways to download your finished work, allowing you to choose the format that best fits your next step.

Whether you are preparing anonymized documents in Redact, creating a structured document collection in Legal Binder, or working across both modules, you can choose to combine, separate, or divide your documents according to your needs.

Cleardox will then generate a new and irreversible PDF file, ensuring that the original content cannot be recreated and is thus fully anonymized.
