Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about file privacy, processing modes, formats, and device support.

Extract Text shows the result on the page with page labels, copy, and download. PDF to TXT focuses on downloading a .txt file. Both use the same extraction engine on the API.
No. This tool extracts readable text in page order. Columns, tables, and images are not reconstructed.
Pages with almost no text but an embedded image are treated as scans. When Tesseract OCR is installed on the API server, up to 20 of those pages are read. If OCR is not available, a scan-only PDF is rejected with a clear error. The response only reports OCR when OCR actually ran.
You will see a clear message that no extractable text was found. The tool does not invent content.
No. Unlock the PDF first. Empty, damaged, and non-PDF files are also rejected.
No. The PDF is held in memory for the extraction request and discarded afterward. Nothing is written to durable storage.
