Frequently asked questions

Why is my PDF's text empty?

Scanned PDFs are images of text. Run OCR PDF first to recognize the text.

How are headings detected?

Lines in a noticeably larger font than the body text become Markdown headings.

Does it keep tables?

Table text is extracted line by line. For spreadsheets, use PDF to Excel.
