Check the result before relying on it
Keep an untouched copy of important source files. Browser processing depends on available device memory, and you should inspect every downloaded result before deleting the original.
Practical details
What this Lucaden tool does
Extract selectable PDF text into a standalone, escaped HTML document with one section per source page.

This is an independent Lucaden workflow using permissive browser libraries. Stirling PDF is credited only as a product-feature reference; its application code is not copied or embedded.
