Try it. Open the result. Check what changed.

Nine practical examples with downloadable source files and reference results. Practice with synthetic documents before using your own PDFs.

What was actually checked

The reference files were generated on September 9, 2026. Page copying and metadata cleanup use the same helpers as the Pageivo tools. PDF.js independently read the output page labels and verified the password-protected reference.

Compression and JPG references use Pageivo's rendering settings with a Node canvas. Browser results can have different byte sizes. These examples do not establish a universal compression ratio, file-size limit or guarantee for every PDF.

Reproduction details and file checksums

Node v24.19.0, PDF.js 6.2.108, pdf-lib 1.17.1, @napi-rs/canvas. Source generator: scripts/generate-lab-fixtures.mjs. The reference checks cover page counts and sequences, six cleared information fields, image dimensions, archive contents and password opening.

Compare compression size and readability

A synthetic scan with 10-point text and a table is processed with all three current presets.

Try it: Start with scan-source.pdf each time. Choose a preset, compress, then inspect the download at normal size and close zoom.

The synthetic sample after the Smaller file compression preset
Smaller file preset. Download the source and result PDFs above to compare small characters and thin table details.

These reference files use the same PDF rendering library and presets as Pageivo with a Node canvas. Browser JPEG encoding can change file size and appearance. The percentages apply only to this sample, and the scan already has no text layer.

Open the tool Test details and checks

Checks on the reference files
  • Each reference output has one page and no selectable text
  • Actual file sizes measured; readability still requires visual judgment
PIVO-06

Clear common metadata and keep visible text

Compare the document properties before and after cleanup. A visible sample-author sentence stays on the page.

Try it: Choose Remove Metadata, download the result and inspect its document properties.

Require a password to open a PDF

An encrypted one-page reference rejects opening without a password and opens with the correct one.

Try it: Enter your own temporary test password, protect the sample and reopen the download. The public reference below has the published sample password.

Start with these files

Compare the result

Public reference password: Pageivo-Lab-Only-2026. This is for the synthetic sample only. Use a different, unique password for your own documents.

Checks on the reference files
  • Opening without the password rejected by PDF.js
  • Correct sample password opens the one-page reference
PIVO-09

Split a workbook into three sections

Ranges 1-3,4-6,7-10 become separate PDFs with three, three and four pages.

Try it: Enter 1-3,4-6,7-10 in Split ranges, choose Split PDF and extract the ZIP.

Start with these files

Open the tool Test details and checks

Checks on the reference files
  • Three files contain 3, 3 and 4 pages
  • Together their page labels cover the original ten pages once

What to check on your own documents

Open the downloaded result and inspect it in the reader you expect the recipient to use. Review small text, page order and any important interactive features. Forms, signatures, attachments, unusual fonts and large files need additional care; passing these samples does not prove support for every PDF structure.

All files here are synthetic Pageivo samples. You may download, reuse and share them to test PDF tools. Do not upload private documents or email them to us to reproduce these examples.
