FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about pdf text extractor.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Only digitally embedded text is extracted; scanned pages contain images rather than text and require OCR before they can be read.
Is the text layout preserved?
Text is extracted in reading order page by page with paragraph breaks, so the output flows naturally instead of a jumble of lines.
Can I get results per page?
Yes. The output is organized by page, and you can copy the text of individual pages or download the full document as a .txt file.
Why is some text missing from my output?
PDFs can store text in unusual encodings or as outlines, and the extraction engine may miss content that uses custom fonts without proper mappings.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Extraction runs entirely in your browser using a local PDF parser, so confidential documents never leave your device.
What is a good use case?
Extracting text is useful for quoting sources, reusing content, indexing documents for search, and feeding the text into translation or summarization tools.
