Practical tips

  • Use auto orientation for mixed documents. Force portrait/landscape only when layout is fixed.
  • Use clear and small test files first when trying a new workflow.
  • After export, quickly check key pages, fonts, and layout before final delivery.

Operator hint cards

Use these focused hints when you want fewer mistakes and faster final delivery.

Run a 2-3 page sample first

Validate readability and page order before processing a full file.

Keep a full playbook one click away

When the current run is not ideal, switch to scenario playbook without resetting context.
