Tips & Best Practices
Understand the Output
The generated XML represents the content's structure (pages, text blocks). It is not a visual representation and does not contain styling information like fonts or colors.
Use OCR for Scanned Documents
If your PDF is a scan, the text is not machine-readable. Use our "OCR" tool first to make the text selectable, which will allow for a successful conversion to XML.
