Yes. Enable OCR mode to extract text from scanned or image-based PDFs. OCR reads text from the visual content of each page rather than embedded text data.
Extracted text can be downloaded as a plain TXT file or as a searchable PDF. TXT is best for pasting into other tools; searchable PDF preserves the visual layout with embedded text.
SentryPDF OCR currently supports English, German, and French. Select the appropriate language before running extraction for best accuracy.
Text in standard PDF form fields and table cells is extracted as part of the page text flow. Complex table layouts may not preserve column alignment in the TXT output.
No. Both the original file and the output are stored temporarily and automatically deleted within 30 minutes. Download your result promptly.
