Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
No — scanned PDFs contain images, not text. They require OCR. This tool only works with text-based PDFs.
Why is the extracted text scrambled?
Some PDFs store text in a non-linear order. PDF.js reads text as stored, which may not match visual reading order.
