Frequently asked questions
Why do I get no text from my PDF?
The PDF probably consists of scanned images. Those contain pictures of text, which need OCR software to convert. This tool reads real text only.
Is the layout kept?
Line breaks are kept where possible. Columns, tables and fonts are not, because plain text cannot hold them.
Is my document sent anywhere?
No. The PDF is read in your browser and the text never leaves your device.
