How we handle your data

Rasterize PDF

Make an image-only PDF copy of report pages for visual review when selectable content is not needed. Text and vector charts become pixels; keep the source.

Six pages contain selectable text. Review the settings and explicitly accept rasterization before running. Check the output pages visually: text will become images and will no longer be searchable.

A practical guide

Check raster clarity before using the copy.

  1. Choose a PDF and select the page positions to rasterize within the stated limits.
  2. Choose a rendering resolution and confirm the loss of text search and editing; this task uses PNG page images.
  3. Create the copy and inspect its detail and page appearance before use.

Try this example

Rasterize a few report pages for a visual review where selectable text is not needed. Inspect charts and captions at the intended display size.

Before

  • Searchable PDF

After

  • Raster PDF copy
Input and expected output for this task. Illustrative example.

Before you start: Rasterizing loses searchable text, vector quality and editing; output can grow. Comments and form fields are drawn into the images or removed, links stay clickable, and optional layers and signed PDFs are refused. This is not redaction or secure sanitization; the task has page, input, pixel and output limits.

Compare the rendered copy
What you get

Create a raster copy of selected pages. Text search, vector quality and editing are lost; file size can increase. Links stay clickable; comments and form fields are drawn into the images or removed. Optional layers and signed PDFs are refused. Not redaction or secure sanitization. Up to 10 pages, 10 MiB input, 4 MP per page, 24 MP total, 24 MiB output.

Limits and important details

10 MiB input, 200 source pages, 10 selected pages, 4 MP per page, 24 MP total, 24 MiB output. PNG page images at 72, 108 or 144 dpi. Optional layers and signed PDFs are refused; comments and form fields are drawn in or removed, and links stay clickable. Not lossless document conversion, accessibility preservation, secure redaction or guaranteed size reduction. Complex images/fonts may need more memory or fail rendering; review every output page.

Example

Choose pages and resolution, confirm the loss of text search, then create and inspect the image-only copy. Keep the original for accessible text, later editing and printing at higher quality. Metadata, bookmarks and attachments are not carried over. Confidential visible text remains in the page images.
