Frequently asked questions

What resolution should I choose?
150 DPI is sufficient for screens, 300 DPI for printing. Higher values increase file size.
Are all pages converted?
Yes. Each page generates a separate image file in the output folder.
Does the text remain selectable?
No. The images are rasterized renderings; the text is no longer selectable.
