Frequently Asked Questions
Why do images look blurry when I save a document as a PDF?
By default, many word processors compress images to reduce the file size. To prevent this, go to your application's advanced options and change the default image resolution to 'High fidelity' or turn off image compression before exporting.
Are online PDF converters safe for confidential documents?
Most reputable online PDF services use secure encryption during upload and automatically delete your files from their servers after conversion. However, for highly sensitive information, it is recommended to use offline desktop software like WPS Office to create your PDFs locally.
Does DPI matter when creating a high-resolution PDF?
Yes, DPI (Dots Per Inch) is crucial for print quality. For standard web viewing, 72 to 150 DPI is sufficient, but for high-resolution printing, you should ensure your source images and PDF export settings are configured to at least 300 DPI.
