Product question

Can I check a PDF for AI-written content?

Verified 2026-08-05

Yes, if you can get the text out. A detector reads characters, not pixels. Extract the PDF to plain text, then run the check. Scanned PDFs need OCR first; a bad scan produces a bad score.

On IA Checker, document upload is available on Pro and Max. You can also use the PDF to text tools, then paste into the detector. Skim the extract before you trust either the count or the score.
