Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract text from a PDF?
Upload your PDF file and click "Convert". All text content will be extracted and provided as a downloadable .txt file with page markers.
Does it work with scanned PDFs?
Our tool extracts embedded text from PDFs. For scanned documents (images of text), you would need OCR software to recognize the text first.
Will the formatting be preserved?
The output is plain text, so complex formatting is simplified. However, paragraph breaks and page structure are maintained with page markers.
Can I extract text from specific pages only?
Currently, all text from all pages is extracted. You can then edit the .txt file to keep only the content you need.
What about tables and columns?
Table text is extracted row by row. Column layouts are converted to linear text, which may require some reorganization.
