From PDF text to handwritten pages
The importer detects the PDF page count, validates page selections, reads selectable text in source-page order, and places it in the editor. You can cancel extraction or correct line breaks before rendering handwritten pages.
Current limitations
The importer supports selectable-text PDFs only. It does not include OCR for scanned or image-only pages, password entry, original-layout preservation, page-number generation, headers and footers, or landscape output.
Privacy and next steps
The source PDF and extracted text are processed in your browser and are not uploaded to a HandwritingTool application server. The source file is not saved in browser storage; normal website analytics remain separate.
PDF Export Options
Choose exactly what goes into your handwritten PDF
Upload a text-based PDF or enter text manually, then use the existing controls to create new handwritten-style pages. The importer preserves page order as plain text rather than recreating the original visual layout.
Current-page PDF
Download only the page currently visible in the preview.
All-pages PDF
Combine every generated handwriting page into one document.
Low quality
Smaller output for memory-limited phones or quick drafts.
Medium quality

Before downloading all pages
- Confirm the word count and generated page count.

- Use medium quality first, especially on phones.
PDF import and editing
Selectable text is extracted locally in your browser and placed in the normal editor. Review line breaks, names, and symbols before exporting. Scanned PDFs need OCR and are not supported yet.
