Frequently Asked Questions

Does it maintain formatting?

We extract the text content from the PDF. If you need to maintain the original layout, we recommend PDF to Word conversion.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

For scanned PDFs (images), we recommend using our PDF to images tool first, as direct text extraction requires OCR technology.

What encoding does the output file have?

The resulting text file uses UTF-8 encoding, compatible with all modern text editors and operating systems.
