Is it legal to edit a payslip PDF?

Yes, for legitimate uses: an employer fixing a clerical error, or an employee annotating their own copy or redacting personal data before sharing it. Altering amounts or dates to mislead a landlord, a bank or a public body is document forgery, a criminal offence in most countries.

Is the payslip uploaded to a server?

Not for the core operations: Editoc processes the document locally in the browser, which matters for a file as sensitive as a payslip.

What should I redact before sharing a payslip?

A landlord rarely needs your social security number, and almost never your bank details. Use the secure redaction tool: the covered text is permanently removed on export, not just hidden behind a box.

Can I change the salary amount?

The editor technically allows it, but presenting altered amounts to a third party is a crime. A genuine payroll mistake should be fixed by a corrected payslip issued by the employer.

How do I combine three payslips into one PDF?

Use Editoc Merge PDF to assemble the payslips in order, then Compress PDF if the application file needs to stay light.

Can I edit a scanned payslip?

You can annotate, redact, sign and reorder a scanned payslip. Fine-grained correction of the original text is limited when the PDF has no text layer.
