Frequently Asked Questions
What are special whitespace characters?
Special whitespace includes: non-breaking space (NBSP, ), full-width space, zero-width space, etc. These characters look like regular spaces but are different Unicode characters that can cause layout issues.
Why does PDF-copied text have line break issues?
PDF is a page-based format where text automatically wraps at each line end. When copying, these line breaks are preserved, causing paragraphs to be split. Use "Convert Line Breaks to Spaces" option to fix this.
Will cleaned text be saved in the browser?
Yes, the system automatically saves your input text and option settings in the browser. Your content and settings will be preserved after refreshing the page.
Which browsers are supported?
This tool supports all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. The copy feature requires an HTTPS connection or localhost environment.
Will important content be accidentally deleted?
The cleaning function only removes formatting-related characters (HTML tags, special spaces, extra line breaks), not actual text content. We recommend previewing the cleaned result before copying.
Can I customize cleaning rules?
Yes! You can freely check or uncheck each cleaning option. The system will clean based on your selections. Settings are automatically saved and applied on your next visit.
