Searchable PDF pilot
Font/readability changes when the source file is missing.
A narrow NZD $99 subcontract-style pilot for document providers who receive searchable PDFs where a client wants a font or readability change but rebuilding the source file is impractical.
What you get
- One non-confidential searchable PDF assessed
- Suitability call before treating it as conversion work
- One converted sample if the file is suitable
- Audit notes within 24 hours after file receipt
Guardrails
- Not OCR
- Not accessibility or WCAG certification
- Not a universal PDF repair service
- Not for scanned-only PDFs
- Not for confidential legal, medical, or personal records
Smaller start
NZD $49 suitability screen.
If you only need to know whether an awkward searchable PDF is worth attempting, start with a quick suitability screen before paying for the full conversion attempt.
- One non-confidential searchable PDF checked for suitability
- Short note on whether a font/readability conversion attempt is realistic
- Likely blockers called out before a conversion run
- Same guardrails: not OCR, certification, preflight, or universal repair
Sample audit
| Check | Result | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Page classification | Native searchable text | Suitable for a first conversion attempt |
| Safe text lines | 4 of 4 | All detected lines were safe to rewrite |
| Unsafe regions | 0 | No skipped or protected text regions in the sample |
| Output status | Fully converted | Audit file produced with the converted PDF |
The sample is synthetic and was run through the local converter with Arial as the target font. Real files are assessed first because PDFs vary: unsafe text is left unchanged and called out in the audit notes.
File handling
Send one non-confidential searchable PDF after payment. Do not send scanned-only files, payment details, private personal records, medical material, or legal-client confidential material.
