Frequently Asked Questions

Can I extract text from scanned PDFs?

This tool works best with PDFs that contain selectable text. Scanned PDFs (image-based) may not yield text results without OCR processing.

What formats can I download the text in?

You can copy text to your clipboard, download as a plain text file (.txt), or export as CSV for spreadsheet use.
