How it works
This extractor reads text objects through the PDF rendering library. It is useful for copying passages from a digital document that already contains selectable text.
Choose the right inputs
A page heading separates the text extracted from each source page. Reported line endings are preserved where the PDF exposes them.
Understand the output
Reading order follows the source text objects and may differ from visual order in multi-column layouts. Review tables and newspaper-like pages before reusing the extracted text.
Use the result carefully
A scanned picture of letters has no text objects to extract. Such pages need an OCR workflow; an empty page section here is not evidence that the scan itself is blank.
