• How do I make a PDF from a scanned paper document?

  

  To make a PDF from a scanned paper document is simple, and the right path depends on whether you need to edit the text afterward. If you do, run the scan through our OCR tool and choose 'Searchable PDF' as the output. Then upload that file to our 'Create PDF' tool to fix or change the text. If you just need a format change, use our 'Converter Tool' instead: upload the image and get your PDF back.

• Why does my PDF look different from the original document?

  

  A PDF looks different from its original document usually because of fonts. If a font from the source file is not built into the PDF, your device swaps in the closest match, which can shift the spacing and layout. It can also happen when the file is opened in a different app or on another device, since not every PDF reader displays things the same way. Images and colors may shift slightly too, depending on how the file was saved.

• How do I cancel?

  

  You can cancel anytime from your account settings or by contacting our support team. Your access stays active until the end of the current billing period.
