"No readable text found. Use a PDF with selectable text, or paste the text instead."

Studio could not read text from this file. Use a text-based file or paste it.

This appears when a file has no text inside for Studio to read. Scanned PDFs are pictures of pages, so they show this message.

Other file messages:

  • "Could not read that file. Try another format, or paste the text instead."

  • "Use a PDF, Word (.docx), HTML, Markdown or text file."

  • "Files can be up to 10 MB."

What to do

  • Export the document from its original app as PDF or Word (.docx), so it keeps real text.

  • Or copy the text and use Text in Create.

  • Split very large documents and import the part you need.
