Frequently asked questions
Does this work on scanned PDFs?
For scanned PDFs with no selectable text, use the OCR PDF tool instead, which can recognise text from images.
Will the extracted text preserve formatting?
Plain text extraction removes most formatting. Headings, columns and tables may not be preserved perfectly.
Can I extract text from a specific page only?
Currently all pages are extracted together. The text is labelled by page number in the output.
Is there a page limit for text extraction?
No page limit. Large documents may take a few seconds to process.
