Questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The text is read in your browser.

Why is the result empty?

A scanned PDF is only a picture of text, so there is no text to read. Use Image to text on a page picture instead.

Are tables and columns kept?

The text comes out line by line. Columns and tables lose their layout.

How much does it cost?

PDFs up to 10 MB are free. Bigger PDFs need a 24-hour pass for €1.00, taxes included. You see this before you pick a file.
