Export & eDiscovery

How Agency packages and shares content while staying zero-knowledge.

Smart PDF Conversion

• Pre-renders PDFs, Office/ODF docs, spreadsheets, presentations, EPUB, and images (OCR) into page images for consistent viewing.
• Text/markup/code and tabular files are converted client-side into formatted PDFs.
• Emails (.eml, .msg) and email archives (.pst, .mbox) are rendered with headers, attachments list, and body content; calendar items become .ics entries.
• Archives (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .7z, .csv.gz, .seq.gz) are decompressed first, then each member follows the same rules.

PDF Bundle Export ("Deposition Binder")

• Combines selected documents into a single PDF bundle.
• Auto-generates a 00_Table_of_Contents.pdf with page links.
• Ideal for depositions, interviews, and review binders.

Load File Export (.DAT)

• Generates Concordance/Relativity-compatible metadata exports.
• Includes filename, filepath, dates, author, SHA-256 hash, and tags.
• Supports downstream legal/eDiscovery workflows.

Encrypted Export

• Creates encrypted bundles with no plaintext filenames.
• Protect with a passphrase; recipients import locally to decrypt.

Share Links (Cloud-Enabled)

• Password-protected, time-limited links with allowed emails/domains and download limits.
• Works with App-Managed storage or BYOS; content and filenames stay encrypted.

Chain of Custody (Planned UI)

• Backend designed for forensic-grade audit exports (PDF/CSV) including SHA-256 hashes and integrity checksums.
• Frontend UI planned; see roadmap for status.

Practical Notes

• Large bundles: exporting many files or long PDFs takes time; watch progress before closing the app.
• Filenames in encrypted exports remain protected; table of contents uses safe labels.
• .DAT exports match Concordance/Relativity expectations (paths, hashes, tags); verify timezone settings before delivery.
• Re-run OCR on poor scans before exporting to improve PDF/Bundle quality.
