Questions

Is Deskew scans free in PDFMoose?

Yes. It is free in PDFMoose, with no account, no watermark and no daily task limit.

Are my files uploaded when I straighten a scanned PDF?

Should I deskew before or after OCR?

Straighten the pages first, then run OCR, since text recognition usually works better on straight pages.
