About this tool
Export an existing PDF text layer to TXT for reuse or cleanup, choosing pages and optional page separators. Image-only scans require OCR first. Reading order in columns, tables and special fonts should be reviewed manually.
How to use
- Upload a readable PDF and select the pages to extract.
- Choose whether to include page separators, then extract.
- Check text order and omissions before downloading TXT; use OCR for scans.
Frequently asked questions
Can it recognize text inside images?
This tool reads an existing text layer without OCR. Use an OCR tool first for image-only pages.
Does TXT preserve PDF layout?
Fonts, images and full table layouts are not preserved. Check extracted order, especially in multicolumn documents.
