How does Merge PDF work?▼
Upload 2 or more PDFs, drag to reorder them, click Merge. Free tier: up to 2 files. Pro: up to 20. Business: up to 50. The merged file preserves the original quality and bookmarks.
How accurate is OCR?▼
We use Tesseract 5 with 100+ language packs. Accuracy on clean printed documents is 95-99%. Accuracy drops with poor scan quality, unusual fonts, handwriting, or complex multi-column layouts. For best results: scan at 300 DPI, ensure good contrast.
Why was my PDF compressed too much?▼
Compression has 3 levels: Maximum (highest reduction, lowest quality), Recommended (best balance), Minimum (small file size reduction, near-original quality). Re-run with a lower level if quality matters more than size.
How do I share a Sign Request with multiple people?▼
On the Sign Request creation page, click 'Add another signer' to invite multiple recipients. You can choose between sequential signing (recipient 1 first, then recipient 2) or parallel (everyone gets the link at the same time). Multi-party signing is on Pro and Business tiers.
Can I edit text in any PDF?▼
Yes — open the PDF in our editor and double-click any text block. The editor extracts the text and lets you edit it directly. For scanned PDFs (image-only), run OCR first to make the text editable.
Does redaction actually delete the text?▼
Yes. Konomic's redaction permanently removes the underlying text bytes — not just covers them with a black box. After redaction, the file goes through a flatten step so the redactions can't be undone. Verify by trying to copy the redacted area: nothing should be selectable.
Can I add Bates numbers to legal documents?▼
Yes. Use the Page Numbers tool and choose 'Bates numbering' mode. Set a prefix (e.g., 'SMITH'), starting number, and digit width. The numbers are stamped on every page in your chosen position and the file is flattened so they can't be edited.
How do I extract pages from a PDF?▼
Use the Split PDF tool. Choose 'By range' mode and enter the page numbers you want, like '1-3, 5, 7-10'. The result will be a single PDF containing only those pages, in the order you specified.
What's AI Chat with PDF?▼
Upload a PDF, then ask questions about it in natural language. Powered by Llama 3.3 via Groq, it returns answers in under a second. Great for long contracts, research papers, technical manuals. Available on free tier with daily limits.
Can I rotate just specific pages?▼
Yes. In the Rotate PDF tool, after uploading, click on individual page thumbnails to select them, then choose the rotation angle (90°, 180°, 270°). Pages without selection won't be rotated.
How does PDF to Excel work?▼
We detect tables in the PDF using layout analysis and extract them to .xlsx format. Best results on PDFs with clear table structure (visible borders or consistent column alignment). For scanned PDFs, run OCR first.
Can I create fillable forms?▼
Konomic's editor supports adding text fields, checkboxes, and signature placeholders. Save as PDF and recipients can fill them in any PDF reader. For complex forms with calculations or scripting, you'll need Adobe Acrobat or similar.
