FAQ
Why is OCR blocked?
The app does not currently ship Tesseract or a server OCR worker, so this route is still blocked.
What file size limit applies?
ScrollPDF currently validates files up to 100 MB per file in the browser UI.
Why can the output look different from the source file?
PDF structure, fonts, compression, form fields, and embedded assets vary between files, so exported results can differ slightly depending on the operation and the original document.
Do I need to create an account to use this tool?
No. Core ScrollPDF tools remain available without an account. Accounts are for profile, auth, and future saved-file features.
