Common problems and fixes

  • The download button does not do anything

    Why: some browsers block programmatic downloads after inactivity, or the disk is full.

    Fix: allow downloads for this site in the browser settings, then process again — the job itself is instant for small files.

  • Pages end up in the wrong order

    Why: the selection order differed from the thumbnail order shown on screen.

    Fix: re-check the page order in the preview list before running the job; the tool applies exactly what is shown.

  • The output file will not open in my viewer

    Why: the download was interrupted, or the viewer is very old.

    Fix: download again and check the file size matches; if it persists, try a different PDF viewer.

Who uses Scale PDF Pages?

  • Admin and HR staff — combining scans, forms and letters into one packet — up to 1 file of 100 MB each per job.
  • Anyone sharing part of a document — extracting just the pages someone asked for instead of sending the whole file.
  • People fixing scans — rotating upside-down or sideways pages before the file goes out to a client.
