Frequently asked questions
Does this OCR scanned PDFs?
No. Scanned image PDFs need OCR first. This tool extracts text that already exists inside the PDF.
Why does spacing sometimes need cleanup?
PDF text order depends on how the file was created. The output is a strong first draft, but tables and columns may need manual cleanup.
