About inspect & extract tools

Analysis tools get information out of a PDF rather than changing it. Text extraction copies the text layer exactly as it is stored, which is instant and perfect for digital documents. Scanned pages have no text layer, so OCR reads the page images instead and can add an invisible text layer that makes the scan searchable.

Compare shows what changed between two versions line by line, and the inspector reports page sizes, fonts, images, security settings and metadata, which is useful before printing or sending a file to someone with strict requirements.
