Frequently Asked Questions
Will it work on scanned PDFs?
Yes. For scanned PDFs without a text layer, OCR is applied automatically.
Is there a page limit?
There is no hard page limit, though very large PDFs may take longer to process depending on your device.
What if the text looks wrong?
Text formatting may not be fully preserved. For the most accurate results, use a native (non-scanned) PDF.
