Frequently asked questions

What does the JSON output include?

The output includes PDF metadata (title, author, dates), and for each page: dimensions, full text, and individual lines with position coordinates and font information.

Is my PDF uploaded to a server?

No. The entire extraction happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your file never leaves your device.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

This tool extracts embedded text from digital PDFs. For scanned PDFs (images), you need OCR — check out our OCR tools (coming soon).

Can I use this for bulk extraction?

For extracting JSON from many PDFs programmatically, use the ParseDocu API. It handles thousands of documents with consistent, structured output.
