FAQs

Q: Can I continue using my original ACD5 template after converting it?

A: No. After your document has been converted in Catina, use the Catina version for any future edits. It contains the New Editor formatting and should be used instead of the original ACD5 template.

Q: Do I have to download the converted document?

A: No. You can continue editing and finalizing the document directly in Catina. Download the Catina version only if you want to edit it outside of Catina or keep a local copy for future use.

Q: Will converting my ACD5 template change the contents of my document?

A: No. The conversion updates the document to the New Editor format while preserving the document's existing content. Review the converted document and make any necessary changes before finalizing.
