Question: Can I extract text from a PDF file that contains languages other than English?

Yes, our PDF-to-Text API supports most languages, including (but not limited to) Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, ...etc.

Even if your language is not explicitly listed above, it's very likely that it is supported as well. Just call the API with a trial account to find out. It's free! Seeing is believing.

Question: I want to extract text from a large PDF file. Is there a limit on the size of the PDF document?
