What to Check
- Viewer page labels may differ from actual PDF page numbers, especially with covers and tables of contents.
- Confirm the selected page order meets the submission requirement.
- Use an organize tool if you need to delete, duplicate, or reorder pages manually.
- After export, check page count, file size, and first-page content.
