frequently asked questions
why is the result empty?
scanned pdfs contain pictures of text rather than real text, so there is nothing to extract without ocr.
is layout kept?
line breaks are kept, but columns and tables become plain lines of text in reading order.
is my pdf uploaded?
no. text is read in your browser with pdf.js.
