Retrieves the existing text layer. For scans, use OCR.

The upload starts only after you agree and start processing. The result’s storage period will be shown when processing finishes.

The result is TXT with page marks. Check paragraph sequence, columns, word breaks, and special characters: the layout of text in a PDF can affect the extraction order.
