WARNING: You CAN'T make changes to your uploaded PDF once it's being converted. So, please make sure that you've uploaded the correct PDF file.

There are a few requirements for the PDFs before you can upload them for conversion in Universal App admin. Please pay attention to our guidelines below:

Text

  • All text and fonts should be fully embedded in the PDFs, meaning the text is not an image and can be extracted;

  • The text should not be flattened or rasterized;

  • All text will be extracted as-is from the PDFs;

  • If Glyphs or fonts have been used that change the look of a character, the character will be extracted. This causes some small-caps (upper-case letters that are reduced in height) fonts to be rendered as lower-case. Ensure that the characters used are upper-case in these instances, so the extracted text will be upper-case as well.

Images

  • Flattening of images and/or layers should be avoided, so images can be extracted as separate items;

  • Maximum 2400px width and height for large images;

  • The ideal resolution of the image is more than 300DPI, however, the file should not exceed 300MB in size;

  • If the file is bigger than 300MB then you can reduce the image resolution to around 150DPI and/ or use better compression.

PDF

  • No security should be used – please disable password protection;

  • Compression is fine but please pay attention to image sizes (read Image section);

  • All pages should be single-page, double spread PDFs will not be processed;

  • Don't upload single pages PDFs. If you have multiple single pages PDFs, please compile all of the pages into 1 PDF and upload it;

  • Please check if the pages are in the correct order before uploading.
