Noted, and to be fixed. Thank you
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.
