Disclaimer

The tools on ScoutMyTool are provided free and as they are. We test them carefully, but no automated tool handles every file perfectly. Before you rely on a result:

• keep your original file;
• open the result and check it — page count, order, text and anything that matters to you;
• for documents with legal, financial or official importance, check the result especially carefully.

Conversions

Converting between formats can change layout and fonts, particularly for complex documents. Text recognition (OCR) on scans is very good but not perfect — names and numbers in particular should be checked.

Security tools

Password protection and redaction are only as strong as the settings you choose. A drawn signature is a picture of your signature, not a certified digital signature. If a document needs a legally certified signature, use a provider that offers one.

Invoices, receipts and quotations

The document makers lay out and add up the details you enter. They do not check whether a document meets the tax or legal rules where you do business — for example what a tax invoice must show where you are registered for VAT or GST. Check those rules, or ask an accountant, before you rely on a document. Nothing on ScoutMyTool is legal, tax or other professional advice.

How our tools work is explained in How we build and check our tools. If a tool gives a wrong result, please tell us.
