Will outlining affect my PDF’s layout?
No. LightPDF keeps your original layout, spacing, and formatting. Only the text is converted into shapes.
Does this work for all fonts?
Yes, including custom or non-standard fonts. Once converted, all fonts become scalable vector graphics.
Is this the same as flattening a PDF?
Not quite. Flattening affects form fields, layers, and annotations. Converting text to outlines only affects font rendering.
Is it safe to upload my file?
Absolutely. Files are encrypted during transfer, processed securely, and auto-deleted within 24 hours.
