02Questions

Common questions

Will the layout match exactly?

Paragraphs, headings and pictures are kept in order. Complex layouts with overlapping elements may need some tidying.

What about scanned PDFs?

Pages that are pictures of text are read with OCR (text recognition), so you still get text you can edit.
