Start with the original PDF
Avoid screenshots when a real PDF is available. PDFs preserve text and layout better than re-saved images.
Check page size and scaling
Use actual size when the document requires fixed dimensions; otherwise use fit-to-page carefully. Preview before printing.
Understand DPI
Image-heavy PDFs need enough source resolution. Printer DPI cannot recreate detail that is absent from the original scan.
Use margins intentionally
Some printers cannot print edge-to-edge. Keep important text and codes within the printable area.
Protect sensitive PDFs
Use private uploads and delete files after the job. Print quality should not come at the cost of privacy.
