Troubleshooting
Source formats and destination formats represent fonts, spacing, tables and page geometry differently. Complex layouts can require manual review.
If an embedded or source font is unavailable, the destination application may substitute another font and change line breaks.
Image-only pages often need OCR before their text can become searchable or editable. Review recognized names, numbers and tables.
Conversion reconstructs content rather than preserving every source instruction. Check page size, images, links and structure in the destination application.
