Frequently asked questions
How do I copy text out of a PDF?
Use this tool to extract all the text into a TXT file, then copy whatever you need.
Why is no text coming out of my file?
If the PDF is scanned, it's just images with no text layer. Run OCR PDF on it first, then extract the text.
Does it support Arabic?
Yes. It extracts Arabic and English text from PDFs that have a text layer.
Is formatting kept when converting PDF to TXT?
No. A TXT file holds plain text only, so fonts, images and layout aren't kept. Use PDF to Word if you need formatting.
Can I convert PDF to text without signing up?
Yes. You can use it free 3 times a day with no account.
