I had edited prior message but would be great if supported PDF rendering as good as docx! (for research mostly, not a lawyer)

    One thing it does is cast the PDF to grayscale to render for speed (lawyers rarely care about the color of a legal doc in PDF), so perhaps I'll make that an adjustable setting which will trade off speed for clarity. Otherwise, it uses PDFium for PDF rendering so it should come out just as well as what you see in a Chromium-based browser.

      might be an issue with DPI / Retina screens on macOS?

      it's really more blurry than any pdf on chrome https://imgur.com/a/AElOuaA

        Oh, yes, that is also a cheat code to render them quicker -- it downsamples the render to save time. That will improve in future versions as Tritium uses spare cycles to increase the resolution.

    If this is Electron, try pdf.js - really good rendering, you can create a text layer (for text selection, etc). Probably the best result per effort you can get
