 You can create or edit up to 100 pages of a PDF file at one time.

 Only PDF files created or edited in IJ Scan Utility or IJ PDF Editor are supported. PDF files created or edited in other applications are not supported.

 You can also create PDF files from images saved on a computer.

 Selectable file formats are PDF, JPEG, TIFF, and PNG.

 Images whose number of pixels in the vertical or horizontal direction is 10501 or more cannot be used.

 When you select a password-protected PDF file, you must enter the password.
