Extract PDF Text

Our tool reads the text layer embedded in your PDF and extracts all readable text. For scanned documents, you may need OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to convert images of text into actual text.

Basic extraction works on PDFs with embedded text. For scanned documents (which are essentially images), OCR processing is needed to recognize and extract the text content.

You can extract text as plain TXT for simple text, or preserve some formatting. The output maintains paragraph breaks and can be easily copied into word processors or text editors.

Yes, you can specify which pages to extract text from. This is useful for large documents where you only need content from certain sections or chapters.
