Frequently asked questions about PDF contact sheet maker

Are the thumbnails full-resolution pages?

They are reduced previews intended for overview rather than detailed reading.

Can I choose the number of columns?

Yes. The current interface provides 2, 3, 4, or 5 columns.

Does it extract selected pages only?

The tool creates an overview from the document pages; it does not provide a page-range field.

Does the tool change my original file?

The tool creates a new result; the PDF you selected remains unchanged.

Can I use it with a password-protected PDF?

A protected PDF may need to be unlocked before the tool can read or process it.

Will large files take longer?

They can. Processing time depends on the file size, page count, and the work required for each page.
