WHAT YOU CAN DO
Extract Text from a PDF: what you need to know
When you need to quote a paragraph, take notes, or reuse data from a PDF, copying page by page can be inconvenient. Prisma Space can read the text layers of a digital document and return its content.
The extraction preserves words, but not necessarily the same visual organization of the document. Columns, tables, and special characters may require subsequent cleaning.
STEP BY STEP

Common questions
Does it work with a photo saved as a PDF?
No reliably. Pages containing only images require OCR.
Does it maintain the original tables?
The output prioritizes text content, not an exact replica of tables or columns.
