About PDF to text by Leaf PDF
Copy the words out of a PDF to edit, translate or search them. Text is taken out page by page; scanned pages are pictures, which the Leaf PDF app can read with text recognition.
Questions
It says there is no text
The pages are pictures (a scan or a photo). The Leaf PDF app can read the text from pictures on your phone with "Make text searchable".
Are my files uploaded?
No. The tool runs in your browser on your own device. Your files are not sent to Leaf PDF or anyone else, and they are gone when you close the tab.
