Limitations and notes

  • The layout is not reproduced: columns, tables, images, fonts and positions are lost.
  • Scanned PDFs have no text: without OCR there is nothing to extract, and you are told.

Frequently asked questions

Why does it not look like the PDF?

Because this version extracts and reflows the text in your browser. A layout-faithful conversion would need a server-side layout engine, which is not offered.
