Frequently asked

Quick answers about Extract PDF Text. Something missing? Use the feedback button and tell us.

Yes, with OCR switched on. A scan is a picture of a page, so there is no text in it to copy. OCR looks at the picture and writes out the words it sees, in English and Hindi. It can make mistakes, especially on faint, tilted or handwritten pages, so check the result before you rely on it. OCR reads up to 10 picture pages in one run; split a longer scan with Split PDF.
