About this tool
What this tool does
Converts a PDF file's text content page by page into structured XML — page and block structure are preserved.
How it works
Upload the PDF, download the XML file — no settings needed, your file never leaves your device.
Privacy
This operation runs directly in your browser. Your file never leaves your device.
Limitations
If the PDF has no real text layer (e.g. a pure scanned image), no XML can be produced — you get a clear error message instead of an empty file. Font size, bold/italic, and other visual formatting are not preserved (see ADR-015).
FAQ
Your PDF likely contains only scanned images rather than real text. For such files, use our OCR tool first to create a text layer.
No — the tool extracts text and page/block structure, not visual formatting.
