    • Method 2: Zoom in your browser (130-150%) before running the script
    • Method 3: Best for quick previews or when quality isn't critical
  2. File Organization:

    • Output directory contains individual PDF directories
    • Each PDF directory contains a "Pages" folder with individual page images
    • Method 1 supports bulk PDF generation by placing multiple .PDF_DataFile in the Input directory
  3. Troubleshooting:

    • If a PDF directory already exists, you'll be prompted to delete it
    • Press 'Y' to overwrite or 'N' to skip that specific file
    • Check the console for detailed progress and error messages
    • If you encounter issues, try refreshing the page and running the script again
