Frequently Asked Questions

    
What data is extracted into the JSON?
By default the output includes document metadata (title, author, page count), and for each page: page dimensions, the full text string, and an array of individual text items with their x/y coordinates. You can also enable font names and word counts.

    
What do the x/y positions represent?
Positions are in PDF user units (points). The origin (0,0) is the bottom-left of the page. 1 point = 0.352778 mm. These are the raw positions as stored inside the PDF.

    
Can I extract data from scanned PDFs?
Scanned PDFs are essentially images with no embedded text layer. This tool can only extract machine-readable text. For scanned documents, you would need an OCR tool first.

    
Is my PDF uploaded to your servers?
No. All processing is done entirely in your browser using the open-source PDF.js library. Your file never leaves your device.

    
What is the JSON output structure?
The root object contains a "metadata" key and a "pages" array. Each page object has pageNumber, width, height, text (full string), and an "items" array of individual text segments with their properties.
