A PDF file isn't just a document; it's a complex container of information. While you can easily read the content, our Analyze PDF tool acts like a digital stethoscope, peering inside to reveal a wealth of data you can't see on the surface. From technical metadata to content statistics, this tool provides a comprehensive report that's invaluable for writers, researchers, and data professionals alike. It’s about more than just a word count—it's about understanding the full context of your document.
Beyond the basics, our analyzer offers unique functionalities that provide deeper insights into your document's structure and content.
Did you know? PDF metadata can include information like the software used to create the document (e.g., 'Adobe InDesign' or 'Microsoft Word'), which is often invisible when you just open the file.
The PDF Analyzer is just one part of a powerful suite of tools. The insights you gain here can be used to optimize your workflow with our other free services:
The estimated reading time is a projection based on the total word count and a standard average reading speed. We use a common benchmark of approximately 200-250 words per minute for general reading, which provides a useful and accurate estimate for most documents.
To analyze a password-protected PDF, you must first remove the password. You can do this with Unlock PDF tool. Once unlocked, the file can be safely analyzed to reveal its content and properties.
The word count is the total number of words in the document, typically defined as sequences of letters separated by spaces. The character count is the total number of individual characters, including letters, numbers, spaces, punctuation marks, and symbols. Both metrics are provided to give you a complete picture of your document's length and complexity.
You can view standard PDF metadata such as the Title, Author, Subject, Keywords, Creator, Producer, and the creation and modification dates of the document.
This analyzer primarily works with text-based PDFs. For scanned documents, it will extract the images but may not be able to count the words accurately unless the PDF has an underlying text layer from an OCR process.
