<p>Are you struggling to find a quick and efficient way to convert a PDF to a GIF? If so, you&#8217;re in the right place. With our SuperTool Converter, you can easily transform your PDF into an animated GIF, all with the click of a button! This post will walk you through each step of the process.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 1: Upload Your PDF</h2>



<p>To begin, navigate to our online <a href="https://supertool.org/pdf-to-gif/">SuperTool Converter</a> and locate the file Upload file option on the sidebar. Here, you can upload the PDF file you wish to make into a GIF.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.43.27-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3954" width="416" height="62" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.43.27-AM.png 604w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.43.27-AM-300x45.png 300w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.43.27-AM-600x90.png 600w" sizes="(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 2: Edit Your PDF</h2>



<p>Once you&#8217;ve uploaded your PDF, you can edit, although this is completely optional! With the SuperTool Converter, you have the flexibility to edit your PDF and create a GIF that&#8217;s truly unique. You can add text, rotate all pages, and even draw on all pages at once. All these editing tools are available within the sidebar panel. If you wish to edit, just click the &#8216;Create Overlay&#8217; button, which is equipped with a magic wand icon that makes your editing process feel like magic!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.04-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3955" width="425" height="67" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.04-AM.png 584w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.04-AM-300x47.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 425px) 100vw, 425px" /></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 3: Adjust GIF Speed</h2>



<p>The GIF speed adjustment slider is found under the &#8216;Edit GIF&#8217; section. This feature allows you to control how fast or slow your GIF will be. You can adjust this speed from 1 (the slowest) to 100 (the fastest). </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.57-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3957" width="420" height="105" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.57-AM.png 632w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.49.57-AM-300x75.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px" /></figure>



<p>Note that you can also customize the timing of each page, making each one show for a shorter or longer period of time. Click Customize Durations Per Page to adjust.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Step 4: Download Your Animated GIF</h2>



<p>Once you&#8217;re satisfied with the edits, it&#8217;s time to convert your PDF to a GIF. Click the &#8216;Download&#8217; button, which you can identify by a little arrow pointing downward. After clicking, your new animated GIF will be ready for download in no time!</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.50.42-AM-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-3959" width="422" height="66" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.50.42-AM-1.png 576w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/Screenshot-2023-06-23-at-10.50.42-AM-1-300x47.png 300w" sizes="(max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px" /></figure>

<p>Here&#8217;s a guest post to show a different side of the <a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">Make PDFs Look Scanned tool</a>.</p>



<p>Gone are the days when you have to scan a document and share. The digital world has revolutionized in a blink of an eye. But SuperTool did not stop there it seems. It has gone above and beyond converting a doc to PDF and opened the genie from the box. Here comes the <a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">Make PDFs Look Scanned</a> tool.</p>



<p>Yes, while you already have the document in its original PDF format, you can now make it look as if it was scanned. You can add some wrinkles to make it look like slightly crumpled paper, or draw and put some icons/shapes and much more!!!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Time For Some Noise!</h2>



<p>Thinking if it can add a digital signature? Of course, it can. This unique tool is so stupefying that you do not have to worry when one says to print the PDF document, sign it, and upload it. You can simply add your signature or text (whatever you want) without making it look digital. The ink seems wet (sort of), giving the text an embedded/textured feeling. Isn&#8217;t that astounding?! Obviously yes!</p>



<p>More so, the signature or the initials look so real that you would be unable to distinguish between an actual paper scanned or a scanned PDF made to look real.</p>



<p>The destructive filters and the decayed images all look natural, making the PDF (oops, the paper document) come alive.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>It Surprises With Every Click!</h2>



<p>It&#8217;s entertaining as well as helpful for usability to add realism! The tool beautifully adjusts lighting, contrast, and other visual components automatically. Some tools have these functionalities, but their flaws appear manufactured rather than genuine. However, this SuperTool creates unique pieces of art! It gives PDFs an old-fashioned feel, a rich feel. I would say &#8211; the dirt, fine lines, and creases are the three types of cool icing on the cake.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>It’s Authentic!</h2>



<p>The best part I liked the most is that it also adds a sense of authenticity as if the document was originally scanned on a physical scanner. Also, it can protect sensitive information by making it harder to copy or edit the document (but try the <a href="https://supertool.org/flatten-pdfs-make-a-pdf-uneditable/">Flatten PDF tool</a> if that is your only goal). And it can add a unique look to a presentation or report.</p>



<p>It is among the most secure and reliable web tools I have ever used. You wouldn&#8217;t be troubled by malicious links or annoying advertisements. It is entirely trouble-free and performs its function flawlessly. Also, do not worry if you think it will keep your information and spamming you. This tool is the safest to use in this line. I recommend using it at least once and getting the genie out of the bottle.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Conclusion</h2>



<p>When I looked at it for the first time, I genuinely could not identify the difference between which is a real paper and which has been made to look scanned! The crumbles, the signature with the ink, the handwritten notes, you are bound to miss this as a PDF-look-scanned but accept it as a real scanned paper.</p>



<p>Indeed, you can surely make your PDF look scanned; converting any PDF scanned document is a breeze. No delays while converting your file. Just upload your PDF File and the process completes automatically. To download the file, all you have to do is simply complete the quick registration process. So, get started today and don’t give any second thoughts. Save paper and go digital!</p>

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How to Make a Document Look like it was Scanned</h1>



<p>Frequently, you&#8217;ll be asked to provide scanned documents in PDF format. You may have the actual document in PDF format, but it does not resemble a scanned document. Learn how to make documents look scanned in this short blog post!</p>



<p>Scanned PDFs are images of a particular document, in which you cannot do a text search or pick information to be copied. You can only select an area of the picture. On the other hand, “native” PDFs are digital records that are readily searchable and provide text selection. Furthermore, scanned documents retain a natural degree of distortion, artifacts, and mild picture rotation, while “fully digital” PDFs have not. The scare quotes around “fully digital” is because <em>all</em> PDFs are fully digital, but it is useful to make a distinction between ones with machine readable text and ones just with bitmaps and images.</p>



<p>One approach is printing the original PDF, scanning it, and transforming the scanned image into PDF format. However, this is often time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, not everyone has access to a printer/scanner.</p>



<p>There are, thankfully, websites that do this process for you. SuperTool&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">Make PDF Look Scanned</a>&#8221; online tool enables you to do this process effectively. The tool accepts a PDF file as input, interprets it, and outputs a document that mimics a scanned copy rather than the original digital PDF.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Get More Controls</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://ambitious.shinyapps.io/st-pdf-to-scanned-pro/">advanced make document look scanned online tool</a> gives additional functionality and customizing options. Check out if you want to customize the &#8220;dirt&#8221; type and quantity and generally have more control over the appearance of your papers!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Digital Signature</h2>



<p>Occasionally, a business policy will require you to print and scan a certified PDF with your signature. Instead of losing time and paper, include a digital signature before uploading your document, and this tool will help it seem to have been scanned.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Bid Goodbye to Photoshop</h2>



<p>The PDF to-scanned appearance has never looked better. Moreover, you can complete the process without Photoshop or much effort. This free tool&#8217;s &#8220;destructive&#8221; filters offer each PDF a scanned appearance. The text and visuals will have a &#8220;decayed&#8221; and analog appearance. Imagemagick can do this too, and is open-source and free, but it can take days to make it look as good as the output of this SuperTool. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Compatible with All Systems</h2>



<p>The service is compatible with all computer systems, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android. We place a premium on privacy and erase uploaded documents from our servers. Our cloud-based solution are fast and they process images quickly.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><a></a>Customized Handwritten Notes and Signatures</h2>



<p>This tool allows the insertion of dates and signatures! Draw and insert a date in the picture. Use the erase and draw tools to edit the date picture as required. Utilize the built-in signature generator. Create a signature with the mouse. Then, tap on the modified picture to select signature placement. Modify the signature width as necessary.</p>



<p>Additionally, you may remove portions of the signature. Using this online application, you may add handwritten signatures and letters to a PDF. Moreover, you may imitate handwriting on a PDF. You can write anything you like using the &#8220;add a signature&#8221; feature!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Make Document Look Scanned</h2>



<p>With this, Make-your-document-look-scanned tool; converting any PDF scanned document is a breeze. No delays while converting your file. Just upload your PDF File, and the process completes automatically. After a free download, to download additional file, you must signup and purchase a plan that fits your budget. So, get started today, save paper, and go digital!</p>

<p>The <a href="https://supertool.org/automatically-add-color-to-pdfs-to-print-without-black-ink/">PDF color conversions</a> at SuperTool change the color of PDFs, and ideally not anything else. Development and testing was done at SuperTool to ensure that the &#8220;printed&#8221; size of converted documents remains the same after conversion. That is, if you have an object in a PDF that is 1 inch wide before conversion, it should be that size after conversion. For example, if you are printing a document for cross-stitch, the printed size really matters. Otherwise your fine handiwork will end up unintentionally larger or smaller than the pattern. Luckily, the SuperTool works &#8212; it does not change the size of PDF documents!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What is &#8220;Printed Size&#8221;?</h2>



<p>A PDF is just a digital document. A document printed on a sheet of paper is the product of converting digital instructions to &#8220;real life&#8221; or the analog world. The &#8220;printed size&#8221; is usually just a straight replica of what was intended by the digital instructions in the PDF. In almost all cases, there is not size change. However, the printer driver on your computer and the printer itself <em>may</em> alter the digital instructions. If your document prints out too big or too small, verify that the following are <strong>unchecked</strong>:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>&#8220;Shrink to Fit&#8221; (or &#8220;Shrink oversized pages&#8221;</li><li>Fit</li><li>Custom Size</li><li>Scale (or Custom Scale)</li></ul>



<p>To ensure that the printed document uses the instructions inside the PDF, <strong>verify that the following setting is selected</strong>:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Actual Size (or Scale = 100%)</li></ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PDF Document Printing Too Small or Too Large</h2>



<p>Some PDFs include instructions to print objects, but do not specify an intended printed size. For example, some PDFs include letters or symbols as part of a font (e.g., Helvetica) and the instructions are to render it at a certain font size. Font size doesn&#8217;t translate to real-world size in all cases. Moreover, some PDFs include fonts <em>with</em> instructions about how to size the real-world printing of them, however, if the font isn&#8217;t available on a user&#8217;s local system, then other fonts are substituted, which could change the size. </p>



<p>The solution is to make sure that fonts are embedded in the PDF files. However, that is not often under the control of the person who is trying to print! In this case, you may try the instructions <a href="https://www.maths.cam.ac.uk/computing/printing/pdf-fonts#:~:text=Click%20on%20START%2C%20DEVICES%20%26%20PRINTERS,fonts.%22%20Click%20APPLY%2C%20OK">here</a>, which suggest <strong>un-checking</strong> the following setting: &#8220;Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts.&#8221; </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Larger PDF File Sizes?</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://supertool.org/automatically-add-color-to-pdfs-to-print-without-black-ink/">PDF color conversion</a> often makes the file size larger. For example, a file that is 1 MB may become 2 MB. This is because of a conversion of &#8220;vector&#8221; instructions to bitmap instructions. A line may have been coded as a black line .1 inch wide by 2 inches long &#8212; that&#8217;s vector-like instruction. The color conversion turns that into, &#8220;put a black dot here, then another black dot next to it, and so on.&#8221; The latter format, which looks the same on the screen display and when printed (as long as you don&#8217;t zoom in much), takes up more file space, hence the larger size. The same process occurs when you use the <a href="https://supertool.org/flatten-pdfs-make-a-pdf-uneditable/">PDF Flattener online tool</a>, which also changes the kinds of instructions in a PDF.</p>

<p>Ink costs money and unnecessarily uses natural resources. There&#8217;s a lot of obvious ways to save ink, like don&#8217;t print or print fewer pages. But here&#8217;s a few novel tricks to save printer ink using some of SuperTools online apps.</p>

<li>If you have a document with a black background and white text, then reverse the colors using the <a href="https://supertool.org/convert-color-pdfs-to-black-and-white/">PDF Color Reverse Tool</a>.</li>



<li>If you have a very dark document, increase the brightness using the PDF Brightness adjustment on the <a href="https://supertool.org/convert-color-pdfs-to-black-and-white/">PDF to Greyscale Tool</a>. This will convert all of the color and remove some of the black and thus save black ink.</li>



<li>If you have a PDF with an unnecessary amount of color &#8212; like in photos &#8212; <a href="https://supertool.org/convert-color-pdfs-to-black-and-white/">convert that PDF to black and white</a> to save color ink costs.</li>



<li>If you have a black and white document, but want to save black ink (or maybe you&#8217;ve run out), then change the PDF to a new color using the <a href="https://supertool.org/automatically-add-color-to-pdfs-to-print-without-black-ink/">PDF Color Changer Tool</a>.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Successfully Printing without Black Ink: From Black to Blue</h2>



<p>When you run out of black in and try to print a document it can look nearly blank, like this:</p>

<p>Switching all the colors of the document to blue can make it print legibly, like this:</p>

<p>It is possible to print without black ink, see below! Note that all of the tips might work on some printer but not others&#8230; there is a large variation in printer technology, models, and conditions.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip #1: Switch your Document Colors</h2>



<p>Switching the colors of the text and images can make printing successfully. In a Word Doc, you may be able to select all and then change the color of fonts. If your word doc contains images or if you have a PDF, then the process can be achieved with this SuperTool: an <a href="https://supertool.org/automatically-add-color-to-pdfs-to-print-without-black-ink/">online tool that converts all the colors in a document</a>.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Switching document colors can produce a successful print</h2>



<p>Inkjet printers spray small droplets of ink onto paper. Colors are combined on the paper to where various colors appear as form images and text.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter"><img decoding="async" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f4/Micro_Piezo_Animation.gif" alt=""/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">The green line represents voltage over time. As the voltage varies, ink is &#8220;dropped&#8221; (not jetted) out and lands on the paper. Nonetheless, piezo-electric dropping is still <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inkjet_technology">one method </a>in the family of inkjet printing.</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<p></p>



<p>If you try to print using an ink cartridge that is empty or nearly empty nothing will come out and your paper will remain white. But if your printer has color ink (in one or more cartridges), then it should work!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip #2: Try to Print Multiple Times</h2>



<p>Sometimes merely printing the same document multiple times can increase the sharpness and boldness. As the ink warms up and as the tubes become less blocked, more ink can flow. Here&#8217;s an illustrative set of printing a document three times after being converted to blue using the <a href="https://supertool.org/automatically-add-color-to-pdfs-to-print-without-black-ink/">PDF Color Change</a> tool:</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="444" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/printing-in-blue-1-1024x444.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1881" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/printing-in-blue-1-1024x444.jpeg 1024w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/printing-in-blue-1-300x130.jpeg 300w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/printing-in-blue-1-768x333.jpeg 768w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/printing-in-blue-1.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Three attempts to print using an inkjet printer that was unused for months. Notice in the first print, the title of the document is completely missing the first few letters. The second print is better. The third print is even darker, bolder, and is a more-than-adequate substitute for a printing a document when you are out of black ink. </figcaption></figure>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What kinds of colors can your print without Black Ink?</h2>



<p>The example image below shows you can print a variety of colors without black ink. The print was made on an inkjet printer that had no remaining ink in its HP 61 black cartridge, but <em>did</em> have ink in the HP 61 tricolor cartridge.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="768" src="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ink-cartridges-and-test-sheet-1-1024x768.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-1882" srcset="https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ink-cartridges-and-test-sheet-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ink-cartridges-and-test-sheet-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ink-cartridges-and-test-sheet-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https://supertool.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/ink-cartridges-and-test-sheet-1.jpeg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A print with the black HP 61 ink cartridge nearly empty can yield a variety of colors.</figcaption></figure>
</div>


<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip #3: Try shaking the printer ink cartridges</h2>



<p>Shaking may increase the viscosity of the ink and unclog the opening. This can make the ink flow more easily. Clearly this only works if you have <em>some</em> ink in the cartridge. Often the cartridges feel light and empty, but there is some left! This isn&#8217;t quite like shaking a polaroid picture, but it can still make images appear like magic!</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip #4: Try Cleaning and Aligning</h2>



<p>Sometimes a printer will produce a nearly blank page even though there is actually black ink available. Cleaning can unclog lines. Aligning can make things line up to produce more solid and bold prints. To clean and align, first try to use the menu on the printer. If you can&#8217;t figure it out there, try to open your Printer settings on your computer. There is often a button or two to click on that cleans and/or aligns.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tip #5: Remove your black ink cartridge</h2>



<p>Try removing your black ink cartridge &#8212; sometimes this &#8220;tricks&#8221; your printer and makes it print black from the color cartridge.</p>

<p>A user asked for more ways to control how to make a PDF look like it has been printed and scanned, so I made it happen! The improved <a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">Make PDF Look Scanned Online</a> app includes new features that allow users to control the &#8220;dirt&#8221; type, amount, and more. It is now easier than ever to customize the scanned look on a PDF to please anyone who is into PDF forms and documents!</p>



<p>The app makes a PDF look printed and scanned by adding random noise, dirt, rotation, converting to greyscale or black and white and more.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">TWO APP VERSIONS</h2>



<p>There are two different versions of the app: <a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">the basic app</a> which is quick and easy to use. Another <a href="https://ambitious.shinyapps.io/st-pdf-to-scanned-pro/">more advanced app</a> has more features, but may not be as easy to use. The features described below are available in the advanced app.<meta charset="utf-8"></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PDF Dirt Amount</h2>



<p>The &#8220;Dirt amount&#8221; slider controls how much speckles, cracks, creases and general dirtyness shows on the page. The dirt is placed semi-randomly around the image to mimic what happens when there are specs of dust on a scanner or a printer makes streaks on the paper as it feeds across the printer head. The dirt isn&#8217;t totally random, because printers and scanners don&#8217;t act totally random. Rather, the noise is grouped in globs and in lines. However, the globs and lines are rather random, which simulates the fact that not all printers and scanners have the same noise.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PDF Dirt Quality</h2>



<p>The &#8220;Dirt Darkness&#8221; slider controls how bold the dirt shows up on the PDF page. Often a real speck of dirt will not be completely black. Users can now make a PDF look super dirty and old or just slightly aged.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">PDF Dirt Style</h2>



<p>The &#8220;Dirt Style&#8221; slider controls the dirt source template. Each template varies the kinds of dirt available: from circles to triangles to a complete overlay that looks like a stain. Changing the template is now in the hands of the user! Try various templates to see what fits your document and desired output.</p>



<p><strong>TRY OUT THE APP NOW: <a href="https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/">https://supertool.org/make-a-pdf-look-printed-and-scanned/</a></strong></p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Adding Noise to a PDF</h2>



<p>The &#8220;Noise&#8221; slider now controls a random amount of noise that mimics the digital noise introduced by scanners. It also randomly varies a slight shading overlay. The shading overlay mimics how a page on scanner won&#8217;t lie completely flat and thus some parts are darker than others. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Making a PDF Look Scanned by Changing to Black and White</h2>



<p>Users can now switch from the default Greyscale (which changes all colors to a shade a grey, white or black) to a pure Black and White. Try out the Pure Black and White if you are looking to make a PDF look very old and dirty. It recreates the look of old printers and scanners by turning all colors to either full black or white, with nothing in between.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Add A Signature to a PDF</h2>



<p>As always, you can add a signature to a PDF. The signature panel lets you &#8220;mouse&#8221; draw a signature. An algorithm that smooths a jerky mouse movement into a signature that looks like it was made with a pen is working hard in the background. The line width varies depending on how fast you draw and hard angles and made rounder. It is best to draw fast to make the signature look real on PDF.</p>



<p>There is a new resolution control. This slider can be varied to mimic more or less noise or precision in the document. Lower resolutions process faster and give a PDF a blurry look. </p>



<p>Finally, updates to the user interface were made to make this SuperTool the best online app for making a PDF look scanned. As always, it works with multi-page PDFs and varies the dirt, noise, tilt, blur and more across each pages in a realistic fashion. Makes for great artwork!</p>
