Common Questions
Why does my PDF show no text after extraction?
This happens when your PDF is image-based (scanned) rather than text-based. PDF.js can only extract text that was embedded as actual text in the PDF. For scanned PDFs, use our Image to Text OCR tool instead — export each page as an image first.
Is there a file size limit?
The tool accepts PDFs up to 50 MB. Larger files may slow down your browser since all processing happens client-side. For very large documents, consider extracting specific page ranges using the From/To page inputs.
Does it support Hindi/Devanagari PDFs?
Yes! If the PDF was created digitally with embedded Unicode text (common in modern Hindi PDFs, government documents), PDF.js will extract the Devanagari text correctly. For KrutiDev-font PDFs, the extracted characters may appear garbled — use our KrutiDev to Unicode converter afterwards.
