How to extract text from a PDF
Save a document’s selectable text as a plain UTF-8 text file. This removes styling and images so you can reuse the words in a text editor or another workflow.
- Choose a PDF with selectable text.
- Select PDF to text to extract the words.
- Download the TXT file and check the reading order.
Why is there no text to extract from my PDF?
A scanned page may contain only an image. Run OCR PDF to recognize English text, then use this tool on the searchable result. Complex columns and tables may require cleanup in the text file.
