Confirm the count and order of pages, the readability of the document, and that the original is still intact.

Important checks and limitations

If you need to change the words inside a PDF page, add OCR, or compress scanned image data, do not assume those features exist in PDFsam Basic. Compare the separate Visual and Enhanced editions before selecting a product.
