About PDF to Text
Extracts text that already exists in the PDF
The tool reads the PDF page by page in your browser and collects selectable text into a plain text result. You can process the whole file or limit the extraction to a start and end page when only part of the document is needed.
Scanned pages need OCR first
If a PDF is only an image scan and does not contain embedded text, the result may be empty. For that case, export or capture the page as an image and use Image OCR before copying the recognized text.
