Will it work on scanned PDFs?

Only if the scan was OCR'd first. Pure image-scans have no extractable text. Run them through OCR before Extract Text.

What's the JSON format?

Per-page array: [{page: 1, text: '...'}, {page: 2, text: '...'}]. Easy to consume in scripts or data pipelines.

Files are encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest, then auto-deleted within one hour.
