PDF to text: questions and answers
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The PDF is opened and changed by code running in your own browser tab. The page is locked so it cannot send data to any server, and nothing is kept once you close the tab.
Why is the text file empty?
Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages and contain no text layer. Run OCR PDF on it first, then extract the text.
