Frequently asked questions
Why is nothing found in my PDF?
It is probably a scan: each page is a photo of paper, with no text inside.
Will tables keep their columns?
Not always. The text comes out in the order the PDF stores it, so tables and two-column layouts may come out line by line.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. ConvertRight runs entirely in your browser. Your file is processed on your own phone or computer and is never sent to a server.
