HOW IT WORKS

Read the text layer from every PDF page

UtilityLake reads the text items available in each PDF page and joins them into an extracted text result.

GOOD TO KNOW

Text extraction is not OCR

Image-only scanned PDFs may contain little or no extractable text because this tool reads the existing PDF text layer rather than recognizing characters from pixels.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Your file stays in the browser

The operation runs locally on your device without requiring the file to be uploaded to UtilityLake.

02

Useful details

Is the original PDF modified?

No. The tool reads the document to produce the result without modifying the source file.

Where does the processing happen?

The analysis runs locally in your browser.
