How does text extraction work?

pdfjs-dist (Mozilla's PDF.js) parses the PDF structure and extracts text content from each page using the browser's native capabilities.

Can I extract specific pages only?

Yes. Enter a page range like 1-5, 10, 15-20 to extract only those pages.

Does it preserve formatting?

Text extraction produces plain text without layout. Complex layouts, tables, and images with text are extracted as plain content.

Is my PDF sent to a server?

No. pdfjs-dist processes PDFs entirely in the browser. Your PDFs never leave your device.
