If lots of lines are missing

If your script is missing a lot of lines, it may be better to re-upload it rather than adding each line manually.

  1. Go back to Upload.
  2. Select your PDF script again.
  3. Choose the pages you want to include.
  4. Open Advanced Options.
  5. Turn on Convert PDF Pages to Images.
  6. Tap Upload Selected.

This can help Linus read trickier scripts more accurately, especially if the script has watermarks, scanned pages, unusual formatting, or complicated spacing.
