Questions

FAQ

Why is the text empty for my PDF?

An empty result from OfflinePDF's Extract Text tool usually means the PDF is a scanned image; run OfflinePDF's OCR PDF tool first to add a searchable text layer, then extract again.

Is formatting preserved?

OfflinePDF's Extract Text tool keeps basic line breaks and spacing in plain text, but complex layouts such as columns and tables may not match the original PDF layout.
