PDF Rendering Behavior

Any parameter (default parameters included) will cause PDFs to go through our renderer. When this happens, imgix will rasterize the file and serve only a single page from any PDF. Suppose you want to serve a PDF in its original format with all its pages. In that case, we recommend either serving the PDF with no imgix parameters applied or using fm=pdf.

The only exception is the download parameter, which will allow users to download the full, unmodified file.
