Detailed Overview
Extract Text from PDF pulls the readable text out of a digital PDF and turns it into clean, searchable, editable plain text. It is useful when you need to quote a report, copy a passage into a document, or search through a long file without opening it page by page.
To use it, upload your PDF and copy or download the extracted text. Read the result once before you reuse it, because columns, tables and footnotes do not always come out in the order you expect, and a line break in the original can split a sentence in the extracted text.
Compare the extracted text against the original for anything important, such as figures, dates or names. A quick spot check of a few numbers is usually enough to catch a table that was read in the wrong column order.
One honest limitation: the tool can only extract text that actually exists as a text layer in the PDF. A scanned image PDF with no text layer will yield little or nothing, so for scans use the OCR tool instead, which reads the image itself.
