Q&A Section:
Q1: Is ILovePDFians’ PDF Text Extractor really free?
Yes! Our tool is completely free to use, with no hidden fees, watermarks, or sign-ups required.
Q2: Are my files secure during text extraction?
Absolutely. Your files never leave your device; all processing occurs locally in your browser, ensuring maximum privacy and security.
Q3: What types of PDFs can I extract text from?
You can extract text from most standard PDFs. For scanned documents or image-based PDFs, the accuracy of text extraction might vary as it depends on the quality of the embedded OCR (Optical Character Recognition) or image clarity.
Q4: Can I extract text from specific pages only?
Currently, our Text Extractor processes the entire document. For more granular control over specific sections, you might first use our Split PDF tool to isolate the desired pages.
Q5: Can I share the extracted text directly to social media?
While you can download the extracted text as a file, direct sharing of the text content itself to social media is best done by copying the text and pasting it into your desired platform. You can, however, share the original PDF or links to our tools via our social media sharing buttons.
