FAQ
Does it work on scanned PDFs?+
Scanned PDFs are image-based — they do not contain machine-readable text. This tool extracts text from digital (non-scanned) PDFs only. For scanned documents, you need an OCR tool first.
Is Malayalam text extracted correctly?+
Yes. The tool extracts Unicode text including Malayalam, so government documents in Malayalam script are extracted correctly, provided the PDF was created with proper Unicode font embedding.
Can I search within the extracted text?+
Yes. Once extracted, the text appears in a text area. Use Ctrl+F (or your browser's find function) within the text area, or copy it to a text editor for advanced searching.
