Frequently Asked Questions

How clean is extracted text?

Native-text PDFs extract near-perfectly in reading order; two-column layouts may interleave. A 100-page manual becomes editable text with light cleanup.

Tables and footnotes?

Tables flatten to spaced text (use PDF-to-Excel for structure); footnotes inline at page ends. Rebuild complex layouts manually after extraction.

Scanned PDFs?

Image-only scans extract nothing — OCR first, then extract. The pipeline order is fixed: scan, OCR, extract.

Is document text uploaded?

No — extraction runs locally in your browser. Text never leaves your device.
