Frequently asked questions
What does the XML look like?+
A document element with the title, language and page count, then metadata, outline, content (heading, paragraph, list, table and image elements in reading order) and pages with the text of each page.
Are tables kept?+
Yes. Tables become table, row and cell elements, with the header row marked.
Is the XML valid?+
Yes. It is well-formed UTF-8 XML, with the characters XML does not allow removed, so it imports cleanly.
Are my files uploaded?+
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your documents stay on your device.
