Tips

Things worth knowing.

01

Compress AFTER editing, not before — re-encoding twice degrades quality.

02

Split first if you only need to share a few pages; merging back later is rarely needed.

03

Watermark before flattening — flattened PDFs can't be un-watermarked easily.

04

Remove blank pages from scans to keep file size and page counts honest.
