Standard
Standard provides PDF inspection, Metadata Only and External Sharing profiles, Preserve Quality processing, verification, SHA-256 fingerprinting, and TXT report export. The Sanitization Options page remains visible so the active profile can be reviewed, but advanced controls cannot be changed to construct an arbitrary custom policy.
Standard users can enable or disable automatic verification and SHA-256 calculation.
Pro
Pro adds Strict Privacy, Maximum Assurance, sanitization-mode selection, custom sanitization controls, and professional PDF, CSV, and JSON report export. It is licensed for eligible physical, non-server Windows systems.
Enterprise
Enterprise includes Pro functionality and adds supported use on Windows Server and in virtual machines. It can also generate a Certificate of Sanitization after every selected PDF has both a sanitization result and a verification result.
Edition changes
After activating a Pro or Enterprise key, restart PDFSanitize before relying on the newly available controls. Deactivation likewise requires a restart before the interface and environment restrictions are treated as Standard again.
