FAQ
Q: Are files uploaded to the server?
No. All processing happens in your browser. Files never leave your device.
Q: Can text be extracted from scanned PDFs?
No. This tool only extracts selectable text from PDFs. Scanned PDFs (image form) require OCR recognition, which is not supported here.
Q: Will the extracted text layout match the original?
Text is extracted in reading order, preserving paragraph breaks as much as possible, but complex layouts may not be fully restored.
Q: Are Chinese PDFs supported?
Yes. As long as the PDF embeds Chinese font text, it can be extracted normally.
