Questions people ask

Will my layout look exactly the same?

Not exactly. The text, paragraphs, headings and bold or italic words carry over; pictures, tables and columns don't yet.

Can I convert a scanned PDF?

A scan is a picture of a page, so it has no text to copy. Use Scan to text first.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Conversion happens in your browser.
