Why does my document look different when I convert from PDF to Word?
This happens due to font issues. To solve this problem, you need to embed all the fonts when you save your document in Microsoft Word, and then upload the file again. HiPDF provides industry-leading high-precision PDF to Word conversion, but font embedding in the original document ensures the best conversion results.
How do I use OCR before converting scanned PDFs?
Before processing OCR recognition, there is an option to select the document language. Make sure you've selected all the languages that appear in the scanned document or picture. HiPDF uses OCR to convert scanned PDFs into editable Word, Excel, PPT, and EPUB documents, but proper language selection ensures the most accurate text recognition.
What AI tools are included in HiPDF?
HiPDF includes eight AI tools: Chat with PDF, AI PDF Translator, PDF Proofreader, AI Detector, AI Read, AI Rewriter, AI Explain PDF, and AI Ask PDF. These tools allow you to chat with your PDFs, summarize and explain content, translate to and from 50+ languages, check for AI-generated content, proofread grammar, rewrite text, and get instant cited answers from PDF documents.
Where are my PDFs processed when using AI features?
When utilizing features such as Chat with PDF, Summarize PDF, grammar check PDF, Translate PDF, and AI Writing Detect, all PDFs are uploaded to your personal PDFelement Cloud first for processing. HiPDF values your privacy and protects financial and personal information with advanced encryption and fraud protection, but PDF processing for AI features requires cloud upload.
