  2. 2Wait for the tool to process the document.
  3. 3Copy the extracted text or download it as a plain text file.

Common use cases

  • Extract text from a PDF to paste into another document or tool.

  • Copy text from a PDF where normal text selection is restricted.
  • Prepare PDF content for use as input to an AI or text processing tool.

Frequently asked questions

Does it preserve paragraph breaks and formatting?

The tool extracts text as plain text. Basic paragraph structure is preserved but formatting such as bold, italic, tables, and columns is stripped.

Does it work with scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs contain images rather than selectable text. Extraction from scanned documents may be incomplete or inaccurate.

Is there a page limit for extraction?

Most standard PDFs are processed without issue. Very long documents may take more time to process.
