What is PDF to Text?
PDF to Text extracts all readable text content from a PDF document, making it available for editing, searching, or pasting into other applications.
When to use this tool
- Copying text from a PDF that blocks selection
- Extracting content from a locked or unselectable PDF
- Getting raw text for analysis or translation
- Making PDF content editable in a text editor
How it works
Uses pdf.js to render each page, extracts text content with positioning metadata, and reconstructs the text flow. For scanned/image-based PDFs, OCR can be applied to recognize characters.
Security Guidelines
- Text extraction is entirely client-side
- Scanned PDFs require OCR which may not capture all text perfectly
