FAQ
Why does my PDF paste incorrectly? Many PDF viewers don't handle multi-column layouts or embedded fonts properly. Our tool uses server-side extraction that correctly interprets the PDF's text positioning.
What about scanned PDFs? This tool works with text-based PDFs. For scanned documents (images), use our OCR tool instead.
Layout vs Raw mode? Use Layout for documents with columns, tables, or specific spacing. Use Raw for simple documents where you want continuous flowing text.
Is my file secure? Your file is processed on our server and automatically deleted within 30 minutes. We never store or share your documents.
