FAQ
Why is my PDF showing no text?
Scanned PDFs are images — there's no embedded text to extract. You'd need OCR software like Adobe Acrobat or Google Drive to handle those.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Text extraction uses PDF.js which runs entirely in your browser.
Does the .doc file preserve formatting?
The .doc output uses structured HTML — detected headings become real heading tags, bullet/numbered lists become HTML lists, and paragraphs are separated. Tables and images are not preserved.
How are headings detected?
Lines with a larger font size than the document average are treated as headings. This works well for most PDFs but may misfire on PDFs that use variable font sizes for decorative purposes.
