FAQ

Common Questions

Answers about columns, page boundaries, line breaks, and international symbols.

Will the tool preserve multi-column text structures?
Yes, the parser is engineered to read down columns sequentially, preventing the overlap of side-by-side text lines.
Can it parse scanned PDFs with no text layers?
This specific text tool requires extractable text components. If it's a scanned photo PDF, run the OCR tool first to recognize characters.
Are headers, footers, and page numbers stripped out?
Yes, you can choose to discard recurring running headers and footers to yield a continuous, clean text body.
Are foreign languages and math symbols supported?
Yes, the unicode decoding engine handles non-Latin scripts, special accents, math variables, and emoji arrays accurately.
What size limit does the plain text tool support?
It can process large documents and e-books because all computation runs locally using your browser's dedicated memory.
