Common questions and answers for all PDF tools
PDF and Word use different layout engines. Heavy graphic layouts can shift; for best results stick to text-based PDFs and double-check the headers, footers and TOC after conversion.
Page count, the number of images and the file size all matter. Documents under 10 pages usually convert in well under 30 seconds.
Not yet — please remove the password first using Acrobat, Preview or a similar tool.
On the result page you'll see rotate (90°/180°/270°) and flip (horizontal/vertical) buttons. Click one and we'll generate a fresh download link.
Scans are images, so the resulting Word still embeds them as images. Run OCR first to add a searchable text layer, then convert to Word for an editable result.
If your machine doesn't have the original PDF font, Word picks a similar substitute. You can swap the font manually or install the original font.
One file per run today. Upload them one after another, or wait for the planned batch feature.
Hyperlinks in text-based PDFs are usually preserved as live links; links inside scanned images can't be auto-detected.
By default each PDF page becomes one slide; we do not auto-split or auto-merge slides.
Yes for text-based PDFs — text becomes editable text boxes. Scanned PDFs keep words as images.
We follow the source PDF page ratio, typically 16:9 or 4:3.
Yes. The output is a standard .pptx that all major slideware can open.
No — PDF doesn't carry animation data. Add them in PowerPoint after conversion.
Yes. Background and foreground are layered, so you can select and replace the background separately.
Single file per run today; batch is on the roadmap.
It's purged within an hour and the download link expires at the same time.
We try to type them as numbers, dates or percentages. If something arrives as text, use Excel's Text-to-Columns to fix it.
We try to align by header and merge them; if the header changes between pages, you may get separate tables.
Use "split per page" so each table sits in its own sheet; "single sheet" works best when the layouts repeat.
Charts come back as embedded images near the cells; the underlying numerical series isn't reconstructed.
PDFs don't carry formulas; the converted cells are static values. Add formulas in Excel as needed.
Not yet — please decrypt the file before uploading.
Try splitting the PDF down to the relevant pages first, or run OCR if it's a scan, then re-convert.
We purge them within an hour; the download link expires alongside.
Yes. We add an invisible text layer over the page image, so it looks identical but is now searchable and copyable.
Clean printed scans usually exceed 95%; blurry, skewed and handwritten pages drop below that.
Run OCR first so the PDF is searchable, then run the file through PDF → Word for a real editable copy.
No — all OCR runs locally on our infrastructure.
After converting to Word you can do a global find-and-replace, or fix them inside a PDF editor.
There is no hard page cap; the only constraint is the 500MB file-size limit. Split very large files first.
Decrypt them first.
They are purged within an hour.
Roughly the sum of all source pages and sizes; we don't compress during merging.
There's no fixed cap, but a few dozen at a time is the comfortable upper bound for speed and reviewability.
Drag rows freely until you click "Merge PDFs". Reorder as many times as you like.
Yes — original bookmarks per file are kept and we wrap them in a top-level bookmark tree by source file name.
Run those pages through the Split tool first, then add the resulting subsets to the merge list.
Of course — the merged file is just a normal PDF and can be split by page or range.
Yes. Each page keeps its original dimensions in the merged file.
It's purged within an hour.
In "by page ranges" mode separate ranges with commas, e.g. 1-3, 5, 8-12 produces three subset PDFs.
By page span by default, e.g. part_1-3.pdf; in equal-split mode they are part_1.pdf, part_2.pdf, etc.
Yes — the overlapping pages will appear in each subset.
No, splitting only produces new output files; the source is left untouched.
Yes — feed them into the Merge tool in the desired order.
Not yet; for now list page ranges manually. Auto-by-bookmark is on the roadmap.
Decrypt them first.
A few hundred pages typically finish within 1-3 minutes; otherwise narrow the page range.
Default compression only down-samples images; text remains in its original vector form and looks identical.
It may already be compressed, or be vector-and-text dominant with no raster bulk to drop.
We currently apply a single near-lossless preset; tunable levels are on the roadmap.
Yes — the document structure is preserved and any PDF editor can open it.
Yes, bookmarks and links are preserved by default.
Single file per run for now; batch is on the roadmap.
For already-tight or vector-heavy files, metadata adjustments can outweigh the savings and grow the file slightly.
They're purged within an hour and the download link expires alongside.
The first only returns images that were embedded as objects in the PDF, at their original resolution. The second renders the whole page (text included) as a PNG.
No — exports are clean, with no service watermark.
Vector export to SVG/EPS isn't supported yet; vector content arrives as bitmap.
200 DPI by default, which is fine for screens and most printing; for higher DPI, render externally.
Yes — if the source already has an alpha channel, the exported PNG keeps the transparency.
Whole-page mode uses page_001.png, page_002.png; extract mode uses page_001_img_01.png and so on.
Decrypt the PDF first.
It's purged within an hour.
Yes by default. Enter a range like 1-3,5,7- to watermark only selected pages.
Yes. The backend automatically tries a CJK-capable font when non-ASCII text is detected.
PNG, JPG, and JPEG are supported up to 5MB. Transparent PNG areas are preserved where possible.
The preview is an approximation in the browser. The final PDF generated by the backend is authoritative.
Text watermarks are vector PDF text objects. Image watermarks are embedded at their original resolution and PNG transparency is preserved.
Yes — rotation is fully adjustable between -90° and 90°. -30° is a common choice for diagonal stamps.
Source PDFs, watermark assets, and outputs are deleted automatically within one hour and the download link expires.
No. This tool only adds watermarks. Removing watermarks is intentionally out of scope.
No. It only embeds a visible image and does not provide certificates, timestamps, or tamper-proof validation.
Server-side files are temporary and cleaned after about one hour. The browser signature library stays only on your device.
Not directly. If the extracted content is sparse, run PDF OCR first and convert again.
This release supports EPUB only.
The first PDF page is rendered as the cover; if that fails, a simple text cover is generated.
This tool does not run OCR. If the output is sparse, use PDF OCR first and convert again.
Markdown uses relative image paths, so the .md file and image folder must travel together.
The converter outputs GitHub Flavored Markdown tables where possible. Complex layouts may need manual cleanup.
