How to use PDF to text
Extract text from a PDF and copy it or save it as a .txt file. Choose all pages or a range.
- Keep the original line breaks, or join lines into flowing paragraphs, which is better for pasting into documents
- Optional page markers so you know where each page starts
- Hyphenated words split across lines are rejoined
Scanned PDFs are just images and have no text layer. For those, use PDF OCR.
