Frequently asked questions
Why does text copied from a PDF have odd line breaks?
PDFs store text line by line, so a copy carries a hard break at the end of every visual line. The "join wrapped lines" option rebuilds the paragraphs.
What are invisible characters?
Zero-width spaces and joiners sometimes ride along with copied text and break search, code and form validation. The cleaner removes them.
