PDF to text
Downloads a PDF from a public link and returns its text page by page, read from the PDF's own text layer (no AI, so the text is exactly what the file contains), plus the title and author when the file has them.
Up to 30 MB and 300 pages. Scanned PDFs have no text layer: the result says so, and superpowers.ocr can read page images.
