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.
