FAQ

Why is no text extracted?

Some PDFs contain scanned images instead of text. OCR is needed for those — coming soon to PannaPDF.

Is the text formatting preserved?

We extract raw text content. Basic structure is preserved with page markers, but complex layouts may not translate perfectly.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Text extraction happens entirely in your browser using PDF.js. Nothing is sent to any server.
