Questions
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. Your browser opens and changes the file on your own device. You can check this yourself: once the site has loaded, turn off your internet and the tool still works.
How are headings found?
Text that is clearly larger than the body text becomes a heading: the largest becomes #, smaller ones ## and ###.
What about tables and columns?
Tables come out as plain lines and columns may run together, so check those parts afterwards.
Why is the result empty?
Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages, with no text inside. Text recognition (OCR) for scans is planned for a later release.
