FAQ
Will the text still be selectable?
No. After rasterization all content is image-based and text cannot be selected or copied.
Does rasterization increase file size?
Yes, especially at high DPI. Use 150 DPI for screen viewing, 300 DPI for print quality.
Does it affect image quality inside the PDF?
All content is re-rendered at the chosen DPI. High DPI preserves fine detail; low DPI may appear blurry.
Can I rasterize only specific pages?
Currently all pages are rasterized. Split the PDF first to process specific pages.
