Real-World Scenarios
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this affect the text?
Restyling usually scales the existing page content down slightly to make room for the new margins/borders you add. Text remains readable.
Can I apply to specific pages?
Currently, the style settings are applied consistently to the entire document for a uniform look.
Can I make the background transparent?
PDF backgrounds are complex. We typically layer a color behind the content. If your source PDF has a white background image, it might obscure our color.
