How does digital PDF text extraction differ from OCR?

Digital text extraction directly reads the embedded text streams stored in native vector PDFs in milliseconds with 100% accuracy. OCR is required only for flat scanned raster images where text is not digitally encoded.

Is my extracted text stored or sent to any server?

Never. All text parsing happens directly inside your browser memory using PDF.js. Zero bytes leave your device.
