Frequently asked questions
This extracts text that's already embedded in the PDF — scanned/image-only PDFs have no embedded text, so you'll get an empty or near-empty result. Use our Image to Text (OCR) tool for scanned documents instead.
No — this pulls out raw text only, without fonts, layout, or images. Use PDF to Word or PDF to HTML if you need to preserve more structure.
