Understand the formats

PDF

PDF packages pages for reading and sharing with a defined page size. A page can contain text, images, drawings or form fields.

Combine PDFs, reorder pages or turn photographs into a page-based document. Check page order and size in a PDF reader after saving.

A scanned PDF does not necessarily contain selectable text. Coverton does not advertise OCR or PDF-to-Word conversion on the free web. Editing a signed PDF may invalidate its signature.

When is this useful?

Apply consistent page numbers with a chosen starting number and position. Check that the stamp does not cover existing content.

Input and result example

3-page PDF + start 1 → page labels 1,2,3

Examples illustrate the workflow; actual size, support and recognition depend on the source and settings.
