What the checker tests

  • Dead links: links to pages or named destinations that do not exist, links to deleted objects, and hotspots with no destination at all.
  • Wrong targets: a tab labelled with a month, weekday or section (like Notes or Goals) whose target page has a different heading.
  • Overlapping hotspots with different targets, where a tap could open either one.
  • Tap size, estimated on a 10th-generation iPad screen (820 x 1180 pt) with the page fitted to the screen. Under 24 pt is flagged; under 44 pt is noted.
  • Links outside the page, zero-size links, unsafe link types (like javascript:), and non-https web links.
  • Pages nothing links to, which buyers can only reach by scrolling.
  • File size against Etsy's limit of five files of 20 MB each, and against Shopify, Gumroad, Payhip and TPT.
  • Dates in a dated planner: every "Monday, January 4, 2027" heading is checked against the real calendar, and the checker looks for missing or repeated days, dates that do not exist (like February 29, 2027), month calendars with the wrong number of days or starting on the wrong weekday, and week numbers that skip.
  • Bookmarks (the PDF outline): ones that go nowhere, month bookmarks that open the wrong month, or none at all.
  • Pages: mixed page sizes or directions, pages that look blank, two neighbouring pages that are exact duplicates, and a missing document title.

What it cannot tell you

It reads the PDF itself, not the app your buyer uses. Whether an app follows a link depends on that app; GoodNotes, for example, documents that on Android, Windows and Web links open in Read Only Mode. The checker never runs scripts inside a PDF and never opens the web links it finds. Tabs that are pictures with no text are drawn and checked for size and targets, but their labels cannot be read.

It does not check whether fonts are embedded. In PlannerHop's tests on 7 November 2026, pdf.js (the PDF reader the checker uses) reported fonts that Keynote and Pages had embedded as missing, so a font check would have raised false alarms. Until it can be done reliably, open the PDF on another device to see that the text looks right.

How your file stays private

The PDF is opened with pdf.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF reader, running in a background worker in your own browser. PlannerHop has no upload server, and this page's security policy only allows connections back to plannerhop.com itself for the sample file. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the checker still works.
