Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure the LRF file is unencrypted (.lrf, not .lrx) to convert successfully.
- Use PDF/A format for reliable long-term archiving of converted documents.

- Be aware that reflowable content in LRF will convert to a fixed layout in PDF.
Limitations

- Converted PDFs lose reflowability since PDF has a fixed layout format.
- Resulting PDF sizes can be larger due to embedded fonts or high-resolution images.
- Editing or extracting structured text from PDF may be difficult if not properly tagged.
