Frequently asked questions

How does Scanfile keep complex tables intact?

Scanfile uses layout-aware PDF translation to maintain the relationship between text, tables, and technical sections. The original and translated pages are presented side by side, so you can verify that parameters, units, and notes remain in context. This makes complex specifications easier to review without rebuilding the document from extracted text.

Are confidential engineering blueprints and quotes safe?

Your files are kept strictly confidential. For convenient access to previews and downloads, guest files are retained for 3 days, then permanently deleted.
