Does this work on scanned PDFs?

No. Scanned PDFs contain images of text, not actual text data. This tool extracts selectable/searchable text only. For scanned documents, you need an OCR tool.

Is the text formatting preserved?

Basic text content is extracted, but complex formatting (tables, columns, fonts) may not be perfectly preserved. The text is organized by page.

No. The extraction uses PDF.js in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.

Can I extract text from specific pages?

Currently, text is extracted from all pages. You can use Split PDF first to isolate specific pages.
