Frequently Asked Questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
No. The file is read in your browser with local file APIs and converted on your device — it never leaves your computer.
What does the XML output look like?
A standard XML document with a <document> root containing one <page> element per page, each holding the page's extracted text inside a CDATA section — easy to parse with any XML library.
