+- questions:
+  - answer: The rasterization engine flattens all layers, preserving the visual appearance
+      of tables, images, and footnotes while removing hidden text.
+    question: How does convert word to pdf handle complex layouts?
+  - answer: Yes – the `save` method accepts any `OutputStream`, letting you choose
+      the format via the corresponding save options object.
+    question: Can I use the same API to save document to stream for both PDF and original
+      formats?
+  - answer: Stream the output directly to cloud storage (e.g., AWS S3) to avoid writing

+    question: What is the best practice for how to save redacted files in a cloud

+  - answer: Temporary licenses are intended for evaluation. For production batch jobs
