4. Accuracy and Document Results

Document processing is not guaranteed to produce identical or error-free results in every PDF.

OCR and document-analysis features are provided as assistance tools. Recognition and analysis results may not always be complete or accurate.Factors such as scan quality, page orientation, handwriting, unusual fonts, image resolution and document structure can affect results.Important recognised text or analysed information should be checked against the original document.

6. Electronic Signatures

The Workshop may provide tools that allow a user to draw, type, position or otherwise place a signature or signature image onto a document.You are responsible for determining whether a signature created or placed using the Workshop is appropriate and legally valid for your particular document, transaction or jurisdiction.You must not use the signature tools to impersonate another person or apply another person's signature without appropriate authority.
