How it works
The text is read from the PDF's content with Mozilla's pdf.js — the same engine Firefox uses to display PDFs — and assembled page by page. It works for PDFs created from documents (Word, web pages, exports). Scanned PDFs contain images of text rather than text: for those, use an OCR tool on the page images.
