Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract text from a PDF without uploading it?
Yes. PDF processing runs in your browser, so the file is not uploaded to SuperTextHub.
Does this work for scanned PDFs?
Yes. The tool can fall back to OCR for scanned pages when direct text extraction is not enough.
What is the page limit?
The first version supports one PDF at a time up to 20 pages.
