About this tool
Extracts the embedded text layer from a PDF, read and copy it right on this page, or download the whole thing as a .txt file. Page breaks are kept as blank lines.
One caveat: scanned PDFs are photographs of text with no text layer, so they come back empty, that requires OCR, which would mean either a heavyweight download or a server, and Convertze refuses to add a server.
How it works
- Drop your file(s), they are read locally, never uploaded.
- Set the options you need and run the tool.
- Download the finished PDF, images or text.
