Does it work with multi-language PDFs?

Yes, text extraction works with any language that has embedded text, including CJK characters and RTL scripts.

Can I extract text from a specific page range?

The tool extracts text from all pages and displays a page-by-page breakdown. You can use the "Page by Page" view to see text from individual pages and copy only the sections you need.

What output formats are available for the extracted text?

You can copy the extracted text directly to your clipboard or download it as a plain .txt file. The text is provided as-is without formatting, making it easy to paste into any application or document.
