Text extraction isn't available yet

We've taken this tool offline. An earlier version returned a PDF rather than the extracted text, while reporting that the operation had completed.

Reading text out of a PDF in the browser is very achievable, and true OCR for scanned documents is achievable too — they're just different jobs, and we'd rather build both properly than half-do either.

In the meantime: if your PDF already contains selectable text, opening it in any reader and using Select All then Copy will get it out without a tool at all.
