Limits and behavior

Re-renders up to 20 pages, 4 megapixels per page. Output is an unencrypted raster PDF; interactive fields, links, searchable text and signatures are flattened. Only use files you are authorized to decrypt. Local processing. Maximum 10 MB per file, 25 MB total and 100 PDF pages. Encrypted PDFs require the separate known-password decryption tool. Digitally signed input may lose signature validity after any modification; preserve your original. Unsupported or malformed files produce an error. Cancellation stops active PDF renders and discards stale results; a synchronous library step finishes before the browser can handle cancellation.
