How to extract plain text from a PDF
Upload a PDF, extract the text and review the TXT output.
Step by step
- Open the PDF and check that its words can be selected, rather than only the whole page image.
- Extract the text and download the TXT file.
- Open the file in a text editor. Read across column breaks and check repeated headers or broken words.
Before you share the result
Inspect reading order in columns and look for broken words or repeated headers.
