FAQ
-
Does the plugin support OCR for scanned documents?
-
No. The plugin extracts true “Text” layers from PDF files natively. If your PDF is purely composed of scanned images, the local parser will not be able to extract text without an external OCR service, keeping the plugin lightweight and API-free.
-
Are my files sent to any third-party servers?
-
Absolutely not. Privacy and security are our top priorities. The conversion happens entirely locally on your own hosting environment. No API required, Zero Third-Party Calls.
-
Does it preserve formatting like headings, lists, and tables?
-
Yes! The plugin features an Advanced Smart Formatting engine. It automatically structures H2 headings, converts spaced text into proper Table blocks, detects list items (*, -, 1.), auto-links URLs, and highlights important text.
-
Is there a limit on the file size?
-
The actual limit is dictated by your own server’s upload_max_filesize and PHP memory limit settings, as processing large PDFs locally requires adequate server memory.
