Frequently Asked Questions
What types of PDFs can this tool process?
Our AI-powered extractor can process all types of PDFs including: text-based PDFs, scanned documents, PDFs with embedded images, complex layouts with tables and charts, mixed content PDFs, and even password-protected PDFs (if you have access). The maximum file size is 10MB.
How accurate is the text extraction?
Using LlamaIndex's advanced AI technology, our tool achieves very high accuracy rates, typically 95-99% for clear documents. The accuracy depends on the quality of the original PDF - high-resolution scans and well-formatted documents yield the best results. The tool also preserves formatting and structure, making the extracted text more usable.
Is my PDF data secure and private?
Yes! Your PDFs are processed securely through our encrypted connection to LlamaIndex's servers. Files are only used for text extraction and are not permanently stored. Once extraction is complete, the data is discarded. We recommend not uploading sensitive documents containing personal information unless absolutely necessary.
Why does extraction take up to 60 seconds?
The AI needs time to analyze each page, identify text regions (including within images), perform OCR where needed, and reconstruct the document structure. Complex PDFs with many images, tables, or poor scan quality may take longer. Most standard documents complete in 10-30 seconds.
Can I extract text from images inside PDFs?
Absolutely! One of the key features of our AI-powered extractor is its ability to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition) on images within PDFs. If your PDF contains screenshots, diagrams with text, or embedded images, the AI will extract any readable text from those images as well.
Tips for Best Results
- Use high-quality scans: For scanned documents, ensure the scan resolution is at least 300 DPI for optimal OCR accuracy.
- Keep files under 10MB: Split large PDFs into smaller sections for faster processing and better results.
- Review the output: While accuracy is high, always review the extracted text for any OCR errors, especially with handwritten content or poor quality scans.
- Use markdown viewer: The extracted text is displayed in formatted markdown - take advantage of the rendered view for easier reading.
