Questions

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. The text is read inside your browser, and your files never leave your device.

Why does a page say it has no text?

That page is probably a scan, a picture of the text rather than the text itself. Image to Text can read the words in a scan.

How can I tell where each page starts?

Each page's text starts with a line such as "--- Page 2 ---".

Does it keep the layout?

No. You get the words in reading order, line by line. Tables, columns and fonts are not kept.
