    Questions

    Does it work on scanned PDFs?

    No. Scanned PDFs contain pictures of text, not text. This tool needs a PDF with real text, such as one saved from Word.

    Are Greek letters kept?

    Yes, if the PDF stores its text properly. Some PDFs have broken text that cannot be read by any tool.

    Is anything uploaded?

    No. The text is read inside your browser.
