PDF to Text FAQ
Does this work for scanned PDFs?
Only if the PDF already contains selectable text. Scanned images usually require OCR.
Is my PDF uploaded?
This tool is designed to read the PDF in your browser using a client-side PDF library.
Why is the text order imperfect?
PDFs store text by page position, not like normal documents. Complex layouts may need manual cleanup after extraction.
