Opening Priviot PDF on macOS

macOS may block the current version while the app is not yet fully signed and notarized.

Use only with the original download

Only use this step with the unmodified installer downloaded directly from priviot.com.

Move “Priviot PDF.app” to your Applications folder.
First try Control-clicking the app and choosing “Open”. If macOS still blocks it, open the Terminal app.
Paste the following command exactly as shown and press Return.
Launch Priviot PDF again from your Applications folder.

Terminal command

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Priviot PDF.app"

The command removes the quarantine attribute only from the app at that path. It does not disable macOS security features system-wide.

Shipping a signed and notarized app is the correct long-term solution. This guidance remains only while the current version technically requires it.
