FAQ

Does PDFGem upload my PDF to a server?

No. The PDF is rendered entirely in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

What is the maximum file size?

There is no hard limit. The reader can handle most PDF files your browser can load. Very large files (100+ MB) may take a moment to render.

Can I print the PDF from the reader?

Use your browser's built-in print function (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P) while viewing the PDF.

Does it support password-protected PDFs?

Currently, the reader does not support encrypted PDFs. Use our Unlock PDF tool first to remove the password, then open it in the reader.

Can I search for text in the PDF?

The reader displays pages as rendered images. For text search, use our PDF to Text tool to extract the content first.
