When using Convert to Scanned PDF in WPS on Windows, common questions usually focus on file size, editability, and multi-page processing. This section includes 3 frequent questions.

FAQ

Will the converted file become larger?

  1. It may. A scanned-style PDF usually makes each page look more image-based, so the file size can increase.
  2. If the document has many pages or you choose color output, the resulting file is often larger.
  3. If file size matters, consider using black-and-white output and keep the original file as a backup.

Can I still edit text directly after conversion?

  1. The converted document is closer to an image-based presentation.
  2. In many cases, it no longer keeps the same direct text editing experience as the original PDF.
  3. If you need editable text later, you can run OCR on the converted file to extract text.

Can I convert a multi-page document?

  1. Yes. You can process the currently opened PDF document, including multi-page files.
  2. Open the target PDF and follow the normal Convert to Scanned PDF steps.
  3. After conversion, check the output file to confirm that the page count and content are complete.
