Conversion FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

1 Does the converter retain visual column spaces?
Yes. If you choose Layout Retention Mode, the script inserts spacing blocks to keep adjacent text columns vertically aligned.
2 Can I strip repetitive headers and footers?
Yes. Check the 'Filter Headers & Footers' option before processing, and the scanner will ignore layout coordinates corresponding to page margins.
3 Does it support local script unicode characters?
Yes. Standard Indian script characters (like Devanagari, Tamil, etc.) decode cleanly using system font maps.
4 Is my secure text document private on this website?
Absolutely. Because all image processing and text rendering execute locally in the web browser memory thread, no document data is sent to external servers.
5 Can I parse text from a scanned PDF?
If the file contains scanned image pages, please use our PDF-to-OCR tool instead, as this tool is optimized for native digital text elements only.
