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.
