About Text Extraction
Sometimes you just need the text content from a PDF without any formatting. Our PDF to text converter extracts all readable text into a simple TXT file.
The extraction process reads text from all pages and maintains basic paragraph structure. Multi-column layouts are intelligently merged into readable text flow.
Headers, footers, and page numbers can be included or excluded based on your preference. The output is clean, unformatted text ready for editing or processing.
This tool works with digitally created PDFs and can handle complex documents with mixed content. For scanned documents, use our OCR tool first.
The extracted text can be easily copied, edited, or used in other applications. It's also much smaller than the original PDF.
