Questions
About the pdf to text
No. The PDF is read in your browser with Mozilla's PDF.js, and the file never leaves your device.
The PDF is probably a scan or photo with no text layer. It needs OCR (optical character recognition) before its text can be extracted.
It keeps the reading order and paragraphs. Tables, columns and images are not rebuilt; table cells come out as lines of text.
