Delivered PDFs now have real text

Before, the PDF for some deliveries was, in practice, a photo of the document: it looked perfect, but you couldn't select or search within it.

What's changing

The PDF now comes out with real text. That means you can:

• Copy snippets.
• Search for a word inside the document.
• Have a screen reader read it aloud.
• The file is also considerably smaller.

Good to know

The look doesn't change: same fonts, same margins, and the same layout you saw before. The only thing that's different is that the text is now actually text.

How to check

Open the PDF and search for a word using your reader's search tool. If it finds and highlights it, you're looking at real text.

FAQ

Does this apply to scanned documents too? Yes, the output is still delivered with real text; only graphic elements — like stamps and signatures — stay as images.

Does it look different from what I see in Review? No.
