Frequently Asked Questions
Are characters also extracted from scanned PDFs or photos?
This tool reads PDF text information and does not perform OCR. If only a scan image is present, it will indicate that text cannot be found. If text is visible but the result is empty, an OCR tool may be needed.
Why is the line break and table format of the extracted text different from the original?
We estimate line breaks and spaces using the text layout order and position of the PDF. Multiple editing, tables, vertical writing, and special fonts may cause differences in reading order or text. Up to 2 million characters can be extracted—compare important content with the original text.
