Frequently Asked Questions

What PDF features are supported?

We support text, images, vector graphics, and embedded fonts. For best results, ensure all fonts are embedded in your PDF. Transparent images and complex gradients are fully supported.

Why is my PDF not rendering correctly?

The most common cause is missing embedded fonts. Ensure your PDF has all fonts embedded before uploading. In Adobe Acrobat, this is under File - Properties - Fonts. All fonts should show "Embedded Subset".

What is the maximum file size?

File size limits depend on your plan: Free (25 MB), Starter (50 MB), Pro (100 MB), Business (200 MB). If your PDF is larger, try compressing it first using our free Compress PDF tool.

Can I change my plan later?

Yes! You can upgrade or downgrade at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately. Downgrades apply at the end of your billing cycle. Prorated credits are applied automatically.

How do I cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your flipbooks remain accessible until the end of the billing period. After that, your account reverts to the Free plan.
