Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean text copied from a PDF?
Paste the PDF text into the input area and click "Fix Paragraphs". This will intelligently remove unwanted line breaks while preserving paragraph structure. If that doesn't work perfectly, try "Clean All" for comprehensive cleaning.
Can I undo a cleaning operation?
The original text remains in the input area unchanged. Each cleaning operation processes the input text and shows results in the output area. To try different options, simply click different buttons - each will process the original input text.
What does "Remove Special Chars" keep?
This option keeps: letters (A-Z, a-z), numbers (0-9), spaces, periods, commas, question marks, exclamation marks, and hyphens. It removes all other characters including symbols, accents, and special punctuation.
Is there a character limit?
No strict limit. The tool can handle very large texts, processing everything in your browser. However, extremely large texts (over 1 million characters) may cause slight delays on slower devices.
