If there are any warnings, check the Details button to review them. In almost all cases, these are informational. The most frequent message is about font substitution. This occurs when fonts in the original PDF file are not on your Mac causing a close but imperfect match. You may or may not notice this when you open the resulting file. Learn more about Font Mapping and Substitution. Actual errors are very rare and if you encounter one, please report it to us along with the file.
