Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?▾
No. The checker uses pdf.js inside your browser, so the file never leaves your device. Nothing is stored, logged, or sent to PlannerPier.
What does it actually check?▾
Page count, hyperlinks (link annotations), page orientation and dimensions, aspect-ratio fit for iPad, page-size consistency, file size, and PDF version.
Will it work for any planner, not just PlannerPier?▾
Yes — drop any digital planner PDF from any shop. The checks are GoodNotes & Notability standards, not PlannerPier specific.
Why does it say my PDF has no hyperlinks?▾
Either the planner was never hyperlinked, or the links are visual buttons drawn on top of the page instead of real PDF link annotations. Real annotations are what GoodNotes recognizes as tappable.
