1. General disclaimer
PDFOrca provides free online PDF tools including file conversion, merging, splitting, compression, OCR, watermarking, and AI-powered analysis. All tools and services are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
While we strive to deliver accurate and reliable results, we do not guarantee that our tools will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that the output will meet your specific requirements. You use PDFOrca entirely at your own risk.
2. File processing accuracy
PDF conversion, merging, splitting, and other file operations involve interpreting complex document structures. Results may vary depending on the source file's formatting, fonts, images, and layout.
Specifically:
- Converted files (e.g. PDF to Word, PDF to Excel) may not perfectly replicate the original formatting, especially for documents with complex layouts, embedded fonts, or advanced styling.
- Merged or split files retain the content of the originals, but bookmarks, form fields, or interactive elements may not always carry over.
- Compressed files are optimized for smaller size, which may result in reduced image quality depending on the compression level selected.
- OCR (Optical Character Recognition) results depend on the quality of the scanned document. Low-resolution scans, handwritten text, or unusual fonts may produce less accurate text extraction.
Always review your output files before relying on them for important purposes. We recommend keeping a copy of your original documents.
3. AI-generated content
PDFOrca offers AI-powered features including PDF summarization, key point extraction, title generation, and sentiment analysis. These features use large language models to process document text.
AI-generated summaries, key points, and analysis are approximate interpretations and should not be treated as a definitive or authoritative representation of the source document. The AI may occasionally:
- Omit important details that are present in the original document.
- Misinterpret technical terminology, abbreviations, or domain-specific language.
- Generate summaries that do not fully capture the nuance or intent of the original text.
AI analysis is not a substitute for reading the original document. For legal, medical, financial, or academic purposes, always refer to the source material.
