How it works
What is lost?
Forced mode turns pages into images. Searchable text, links, bookmarks, forms, and signatures are gone.
Do we keep your file?
No. The file is processed in a temporary directory and deleted when the request ends.
Limits
Free public use: 40 MB upload, 40 pages when forcing, one job at a time, 10 jobs per day.
