Comprehensive Liability & Use Limitations

Edit Scanned PDF is committed to maintaining high standards of privacy, security, and document processing integrity. However, due to the decentralized and varied nature of the PDF file format specification (ISO 32000-1 and ISO 32000-2), complex documents containing embedded scripts, proprietary compression streams, custom CMYK color spaces, or non-embedded typefaces may experience formatting alterations during local rendering.

Under no circumstances shall Edit Scanned PDF or its developers be held liable for any document errors, misaligned data entries, missed deadlines, or legal damages arising from the use or inability to use this software. Users retain full responsibility for verifying mathematical totals on invoices, critical dates on legal contracts, and personal information on forms prior to official submission.

3. Optical Character Recognition (OCR) Accuracy Limitations

Optical Character Recognition is a probabilistic computational process. While our browser-based OCR models strive for high accuracy, recognition quality depends directly on the resolution, contrast, skew, lighting, and legibility of the original source scan.

OCR results may not be 100% accurate under conditions including:

Low-resolution or heavily compressed images (less than 150-300 DPI).
Cursive, stylized, illegible, or degraded handwriting.
Complex multi-column magazine layouts, skewed tables, or unusual non-standard typography.
Background watermarks, stains, folds, shadows, or bleed-through artifacts.

4. PDF Rendering & Formatting Fidelity

The Portable Document Format (PDF) specification includes intricate font embedding, vector paths, color profiles, and metadata layers. When modifying text or converting PDF pages to other formats (such as Word .docx or JPG), minor cosmetic discrepancies in line spacing, font substitution, or table borders may occur depending on your device's installed fonts and browser capabilities.

5. Lawful Use & Compliance Statement

Edit Scanned PDF is designed strictly for lawful and legitimate document workflows. We respect intellectual property and comply with applicable legal frameworks. Users are solely responsible for ensuring they hold the legal authority, copyright, or owner permission to edit, annotate, or extract information from uploaded files.
