FAQ
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
This tool extracts embedded text from PDFs. Scanned documents that are image-only may not contain extractable text. For scanned documents, you would need OCR.
Is the text formatting preserved?
Formatting is not preserved. Text item order comes from the PDF structure, so columns, tables, or positioned text may appear out of reading order.
Can I extract text from specific pages?
The tool extracts text from all pages. You can then copy the section you need from the output.
Is there a file size limit?
The maximum file size is 100 MB.
What languages are supported?
There is no fixed language list, but extraction depends on the PDF’s font encoding and Unicode mappings. Some characters may be missing or incorrect.
