  • Reuse sections of reports, forms, or documents

Tips for better results

A PDF stores page appearance rather than a Word editing structure, so perfect layout reconstruction is not always possible. Scanned PDFs require a separate OCR service before text extraction; OCR is not currently available on URL-CUT.
