We have given you access to an online platform, so you don’t need to worry about the system requirements. Whatever operating system or web browser you use—Macintosh, Windows, Chrome, Safari, etc.—is irrelevant. You can always get a best PDF Converter from PDFBeacon, along with other PDF organizing tools like Merge PDF, Split PDF, and Compress PDF from us.
Our main concern is always keeping your file(s) secure; we promise that they are secure with us. We will guarantee that your files are encrypted using 256-BIT SSL security to keep them secure. Your original files are available to Pro members under “Documents” in “My Account”. Your files will be kept on our servers by default, and the only way to get them permanently deleted is for you to manually delete them. Please visit our Privacy Policy for additional details. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any more questions.
In most cases, the conversion takes less than a minute to finish. The file size is most likely the cause if the conversion is taking longer than anticipated. It takes longer to open larger files; file size is important. However, please make sure the browser is responding if it is taking an unusually long time. An internet connection problem could cause a browser to crash during conversion. Please resume the conversion in this instance.
Please try restarting the conversion process if it is unable to finish. You have the option to re-upload your file and convert it if this doesn’t work. If your file is large, we ask that you be patient and wait for the conversion to finish. Please try a different browser and make sure no extensions are open when opening the website if it still doesn’t finish. Please contact us and send us a report if any of these solutions are unable to resolve the issue; we will do everything in our power to help.

We try to make an effort to keep the original formatting. If the fonts you use are not recognized by Windows or Mac’s default settings, your fonts may be lost, and nothing will appear. A simple solution would be to format your entire document using a common font, like Times New Roman.

One of our special features, optical character recognition, or OCR, enables you to
turn multiple kinds of documents into text. For example, scanned PDF files or
images are converted into data that can be edited and searched. There are
currently 17 languages that we support:

2. Catalan
