Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from a PDF?
Simply upload your PDF file by clicking the upload area or dragging and dropping. Our tool uses Mozilla's PDF.js library to extract all readable text content directly in your browser. For scanned PDFs that contain images instead of text, you would need OCR software.
What is PDF/A format?
PDF/A is an ISO-standardized version of PDF designed for long-term digital preservation of documents. It restricts features like encryption, external font references, and JavaScript to ensure documents remain readable and reproducible decades into the future.
Can I convert a scanned PDF to text?
Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than actual text data. You need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software like Adobe Acrobat, ABBYY FineReader, or free tools like Tesseract to recognize and extract text from scanned documents.
