    Frequently asked questions

    My PDF is scanned. Why is the text empty?

    Scanned pages contain images, not text. Run OCR PDF first, then extract the text.

    Is the layout kept?

    Line breaks and paragraphs are kept. Columns, tables and fonts are not — use PDF to Word or PDF to Excel for those.

    Which encoding is used?

    UTF-8, which every modern editor opens correctly, including Turkish, Cyrillic, Chinese and other characters.
