FAQs

My PDF came out empty — why?

Scanned PDFs are images, not text, so there's nothing to extract. Try the PDF to Text (OCR) tool instead — it reads scanned pages visually.

Is the layout preserved?

No. The JSON holds plain running text per page — column positions, fonts, and table structure are not preserved. It's built for data processing, not faithful re-creation.

Is my file uploaded anywhere?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser — your file is never sent to any server.
