๐ฏ What is Clean Text Extraction?
Clean text extraction is the process of converting PDF documents into editable text while removing formatting issues, extra spaces, broken line breaks, and other artifacts that make text difficult to read and edit.
๐ Why PDF Text is Often "Messy":
- Line Break Issues: PDFs often have artificial line breaks that don't match paragraph boundaries
- Extra Spaces: Multiple spaces between words or at line endings
- Page Numbers & Headers: These can interfere with continuous text flow
- Formatting Artifacts: Leftover formatting from the original document creation
- Hyphenation Problems: Words split across lines with hyphens
