Tips for better results
I've run into most of the common snags already, so here's what actually moves the needle:
- Scanned pages behave differently from digital ones — expect a bit more size and slightly softer text.
- If the result isn't quite right, change one setting at a time so you know what made the difference.
- If a file is huge, splitting it first and processing the parts is often smoother than forcing the whole thing.
- Check the first and last pages after processing; that's where formatting quirks usually show up.
- Keep a copy of the original before you start — it takes a second and saves you if you want to redo it.
Where people usually go wrong
A quick list of the "why isn't this working" moments:
- Feeding it a format it doesn't handle. Stick to PDF and convert first if needed.
- Closing the tab too early. Let it finish before you navigate away, especially on slower connections.
- Expecting perfection on the first pass. If it's not right, adjust one option and run it again — that's normal.
- Assuming the file sticks around. It's deleted after processing, so download your result before you leave.
