Before you use the result
This tool does not perform OCR. Scanned pages may produce no text, and tables or columns may need manual reconstruction.
Open the downloaded file or export before relying on it. Keep the original so you can compare quality, recover data or try different settings. Use only material you have permission to process.
Questions about PDF to Text
Why is the output empty for a scan?
An image-only scan contains pixels rather than selectable text. It needs a separate OCR workflow.
