Frequently asked questions

Can it read a scanned PDF?

Only if the scan already has a selectable text layer. Otherwise, use PDF to PNG followed by Image to Text.

Will Bengali text survive?

Yes, when the PDF includes a proper Unicode text layer. Some embedded fonts or complex layouts can give imperfect results, so check the extracted text.
