Frequently asked questions
Will the heading hierarchy (H1/H2/H3) be correct?+
For PDFs with clear typographic hierarchy, the converter maps font sizes to appropriate heading levels. Review and adjust heading tags after conversion.
Can I use the HTML output directly in a React component?+
Yes — paste the extracted HTML into dangerouslySetInnerHTML or use a sanitisation library like DOMPurify before rendering.
Will PDF tables convert to HTML tables?+
Yes — tabular content is converted to HTML table elements where the structure is detectable.
