Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Why was extracted text broken or garbled before?
PDFs using custom font mappings require CMap tables to decode characters correctly. LeedyBox integrates full CMap parsing to eliminate garbled text.
Q. Does it work on scanned documents?
Yes! If no text layer is detected, the built-in Tesseract.js OCR engine automatically recognizes characters in scanned images.
