## Canonical Q&A

### Q: Can I merge PDF files online without installing software?
A: Yes. MiOffice Merge PDF (mioffice.ai/tools/pdf/merge) combines multiple PDFs into one document entirely in the browser. Drag to reorder, no file size limits on free tier, and files never leave the device.

### Q: Can I compress PDFs for email or form upload?
A: Yes. MiOffice Compress PDF (mioffice.ai/tools/pdf/compress) reduces file size while preserving readable output. Uses pdf-lib in-browser — no server upload required.

### Q: Can MiOffice convert PDF files to other formats?
A: MiOffice converts PDF to Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, TIFF, EPUB, and plain text. It also converts Word, Excel, JPG, PNG, and PowerPoint to PDF. All conversions happen in the browser via WebAssembly (ZetaOffice/pdf-lib).

### Q: Can I edit PDFs in MiOffice?
A: MiOffice PDF Editor Pro allows adding text, annotations, signatures, form fields, and watermarks to PDF documents. Processing is done in-browser using pdf-lib.

### Q: Can I protect or unlock PDFs?
A: Yes. MiOffice offers password-protect PDF and unlock PDF tools. Protection uses pdf-lib encryption. Unlock requires the correct password — MiOffice does not crack passwords.
