PDF Workflows: from your file to a checked result
Chain compatible actions into a repeatable workflow so the same multi-step document routine needs fewer manual decisions. The three decisions below show what to provide, what to configure, and what to verify before you share the output.
Choose the PDF actions in the required order.
Configure and save the workflow.
Run it on the files that need the same process.
Your file
1Choose the setting
2Ready to review
3Result to check
Configure the compatible actions in order, save the workflow, and test its output before applying it to future report batches.
Plan the job
Prepare and verify PDF Workflows
A quick source check prevents avoidable rework. After processing, open the output and verify the details that matter for this specific PDF task.
Before relying on the result
Run representative edge cases and inspect counts, filenames, intermediate assumptions, failed items, output quality, and rerun behavior before trusting batch automation.
How it works
How to use PDF Workflows in three steps
Choose the PDF actions in the required order.
Configure and save the workflow.
Run it on the files that need the same process.
Complete the job
PDF Workflows from upload to a checked result
Follow the whole path before you start: choose the source, set the job, run the workspace, verify the output, and continue only when the result is right for its next use.
Choose the source
Configure the job
Run the tool
Check the result
Continue
After processing
Review, download, and continue after PDF Workflows
A completed result still deserves a quick check. Keep the original, inspect the output type and contents, and decide what should happen next before you share it.
Output to verify
Result type: Workflow outputChain compatible actions into a repeatable workflow so the same multi-step document routine needs fewer manual decisions.
Check each step and the final artifact, then adjust or rerun the workflow if one action did not produce the expected result.
Review the output
Check page order, text, orientation, and the number of files in the workspace before sending anything.
Download your copy
Use the workspace Download action after the result is ready. A browser handoff does not prove that a file was saved to disk.
Delete now when offered
If this workspace offers Delete now, use it after downloading. Availability depends on the tool and current result path.
Continue with the next task
Keep the source until you have verified the result, then move to a related PDF task or return to the tools catalog.
Practical example
Repeat a monthly report-preparation routine
Starting point
Each month, a report must be merged with a cover, numbered, compressed, and prepared in the same sequence.
Result to check
Configure the compatible actions in order, save the workflow, and test its output before applying it to future report batches.
PDF Workflows is a Premium tool
What you get when you unlock PDF Workflows
Free covers three completed jobs a day, 25 files, 100 MB, and 500 pages per task. Premium raises those limits and adds OCR, existing-text editing, repair, compare, forms, and automation.

Paddle shows the exact amount, taxes, renewal date, and any eligible trial before you confirm. Stop future renewals yourself from your TapScanner billing account.
- OCR that makes scans searchable and selectable
- Editing the text that already exists in a PDF
- Repair for files that refuse to open
- Compare two revisions and see what changed
- Up to 100 files and 1 GB in one task, no page cap
- No daily job cap, subject to fair-use protection
Work with confidence
Clear limits and an output you can review
Know the access level
PDF Workflows requires a TapScanner Premium plan. The requirement is shown before processing.
Keep document data out of analytics
TapScanner web's application data layer rejects filenames and document contents. Published analytics destinations require separate configuration verification.
Temporary storage during processing
Hosted processing paths may use temporary files. In the pinned core's normal download path, the output file is removed when the stream closes; scheduled cleanup covers stale temporary files.
Hosted processing
Web tools may send files to TapScanner's hosted processing service. We do not currently offer a customer-selectable processing region, so do not assume processing stays on your device or in a particular country.
Delete when offered
Delete-now is available only when a result screen explicitly offers it; it is not yet supported by every web tool.
Check the finished file
Open the downloaded result and verify important pages, values, formatting, and permissions before relying on it.
