FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No server upload step is used by this viewer. The selected file is read and rendered in the active browser session.
Can I search or select text inside the PDF?
No. The current viewer renders each page as an image preview and does not provide a searchable or selectable text layer.
Can it open password-protected PDFs?
Locked PDFs are not supported. Unlock the document first, then open the unlocked copy.
Can I zoom and rotate pages?
You can zoom the page preview from 60% to 250%, but page rotation is not available in this viewer.
Are PDF forms and annotations supported?
The page may visually render some existing content, but there are no dedicated controls for editing forms, annotations, or other interactive features.
Can I print or download the PDF from this viewer?
The tool does not provide print or download actions. It previews the local PDF you already selected.
