Frequently asked questions
Does this work with scanned PDFs?
This tool extracts embedded text only. For scanned documents or images, use our Image to Text (OCR) tool instead.
Is the formatting preserved?
Basic text content and line breaks are preserved, but complex formatting (tables, columns) may not translate perfectly to plain text.
