Frequently asked questions
Does it work on scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs (image-based) require OCR. Use the PDF OCR tool first to make the text selectable, then extract.
Is formatting preserved?
Plain text extraction preserves the text content but not visual formatting like fonts, colors, or layout.
What encoding is the output?
The output is UTF-8 encoded plain text, compatible with all text editors.
Is there a page limit?
There is no page limit. All pages are extracted into a single text file.
