Common mistakes
- Text too long for the page: shorten it or make it smaller, the tool tells you when it does not fit.
- Hindi, Marathi or emoji in the text: only Latin text can be drawn, other characters become a question mark.
- Text printed too close to the edge: raise the gap from the edge so a printer does not cut it.
- A PDF with a password: remove the password first, the tool cannot open it.
