questions
what does the json look like?
a page count and a list of pages, each with its blocks in order: headings (with their level), paragraphs, lists and tables (as rows of cells).
does it work on scanned pdfs?
a scanned pdf has no text inside to extract — it needs ocr, which this tool doesn't do yet.
is there a page limit?
up to 200 pages per pdf.
what happens to my files?
they're deleted from the server automatically about an hour later, whether you downloaded the result or not. they're never shared or looked at.
