Troubleshooting Common Issues
⚠Extracted text is empty or garbled.
The PDF may be a scanned image of paper. Run it through our 'PDF OCR' tool to extract recognized text using WebAssembly OCR.
⚠Formatting looks plain in Text export.
Plain text (.txt) strips formatting by definition. Use HTML export or Markdown conversion to retain structural paragraphs and headings.
