Searchable Text - Not working

Question

Freature not working 'Create text - selectable and searchable PDF' Hello, - Plugin: v.1.12.18 (64-bit) - OS: Windows 11 - Browser: 129.0.2 (64-bit) - I don't believe it's a bug. - Webpage: https://brytewave.redshelf.com I'm attempting to convert text into a searchable PDF from the bryteware website. When I'm on the page, I click the plugin > Capture the entire page and save as PDF > select the 'extras' 'Create text -selectable...'. The software gives me a PDF, but the text is not searchable. I'm unsure if I've configured something incorrectly. Thank you.

Accepted Answer

Can you please confirm that even the main page (https://brytewave.redshelf.com/) being save to PDF does not contain text? I'll greatly appreciate an URL that can be opened without having to log in.

Answer

Unfortunately, when I log in, My Shelf shows nothing except the warning 'Sorry, You don't have any materials to display here yet'. Given the nature of the website, it's likely that they are employing techniques to prevent users or extensions from capturing the text content. P.S. Did you try saving the page as a single file from the Chrome menu?

Answer

Thank you. I suppose, the only working way is to save it to PNG or PDF and then OCR it with Adobe or another tool to PDF.
