FAQ

Common questions

Does this work on scanned PDFs?

Text extraction works on PDFs with embedded text. Scanned PDFs (images of text) require OCR — try our OCR tool instead.

Is the page order preserved?

Yes. Text is extracted page by page in order, with page markers so you know where each page starts.

Can I extract text from a specific page only?

Use our Split PDF tool first to extract the page, then run PDF to Text.

What if the text looks garbled?

Some PDFs use custom fonts or encoding that can affect text extraction. Try our Edit PDF tool to copy text manually from those.
