Questions
Why did my columns collapse?+
Complex multi-column layouts do not map cleanly to Word. Convert, then reapply a two-column layout in Word.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?+
No. Every PDFOnCall tool runs inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. That is also why it finishes in seconds instead of waiting in an upload queue.
