A few things to know
What does the text download contain?
The TXT output contains extracted text with source page boundaries. It does not reproduce the original visual layout; review reading order and any recognition errors.
Are files uploaded?
No. Processing and downloads are generated locally in your browser.
Does this support every PDF?
No. Encrypted files need unlocking first. Scans have no editable text without OCR. Complex fonts, tables, annotations and large documents can have limitations; the workspace explains the supported behavior.
