Questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. CommandEditor runs entirely in your browser with WebAssembly — your file never leaves your device. You can verify it: open your browser's network inspector, or switch off Wi-Fi after the page loads; the tool still works.
The output is empty — why?
Your PDF is probably a scan (images, no text layer). Run OCR first, then extract.
