Before you process the document

Keep a copy of the original when the operation changes pages, text, structure, permissions, or file format. Confirm the intended output format and review the source for password protection, scanned pages, unusual fonts, tables, signatures, and other elements that may affect the result.

Quality checks before you finish

Before you finish, review names, legal terms, measurements, tables, and technical terminology with a qualified reviewer when needed. Keep the original when the operation changes or replaces document structure, and verify the output in a normal PDF viewer when the document is important.

Common mistake to avoid

Assuming the tool can preserve every document feature without checking the output, especially with scans, tables, signatures, unusual fonts, or complex layouts.

What to do after processing

Open the output and check the pages that matter most: the first page, a representative middle page, and the final page. For conversions, also inspect tables, images, links, headings, and page breaks.
