FAQ
It says no text was found.+
PDFs made by scanning or photographing are pictures, not text, so there's nothing to extract.
OCR isn't supported yet.
Line breaks and tables look messy.+
PDFs store only the position of each piece of text, not paragraphs, so line breaks and tables can differ from the original.
Tidy it up after pasting.
How large can files be?+
Up to 100MB per file and 20 files at a time.
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?+
No.
