A practical guide

How to use PDF Viewer

Choose a PDF to open it in your browser.
Navigate pages, adjust zoom or search selectable text.
Download the unchanged original when finished.

View and search locally

The viewer renders pages in your browser and can find text that is embedded and selectable in the PDF. It does not perform OCR, so scans without a text layer cannot be searched. Zoom and page navigation do not modify the source file.

Processing and limits

The PDF stays on your device. Files can be up to 100 MB and 2,000 pages, though large documents may exceed the memory available in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can I search a scanned page?

Not unless the scan already has selectable text. Use OCR to Searchable PDF to add a text layer before searching.
