Troubleshooting - Display issues
If the document doesn't appear as expected, there are a few things to try, depending on the issue:
An image inserted as a PDF appears as a black square - This is due to an issue with how the original PDF was created. Instead of inserting the file as a PDF, you can take a screenshot of the required information and insert it as a .JPG or .PNG image. Alternatively, you can load the original file into PDF editing software and re-save it.
The output PDF file is large after inserting other content - Check the size of the inserted content file. If you're inserting an image, please ensure the image is no larger than the required print size.
The inserted content appears distorted - Check the image settings under the Show Settings option and, if required, set these back to Original Size.
