Inspect practical PDF properties before printing, sharing, or processing.
The report covers size, pages, dimensions, orientation, text, metadata, unusual sizes, likely scans, blank candidates, duplicate candidates, and a transparent usability score.
It is not formal PDF/A, accessibility, preflight, security, or malware certification.
Plan the next step
Found mixed portrait and landscape pages? Use PDF Orientation Analyzer to see the affected page numbers.
If the report points to image-only pages, use OCR PDF when you need searchable text.
