FAQ
What users need to know for pdf to text.
Do I need an account?
No. The app tracks only a temporary browser session cookie so you can refresh and still download the result.
Will every file convert perfectly?
Simple files are reliable. Complex layouts, scans, forms, or macros can still need manual cleanup after conversion.
