About text extraction

PDF text extraction reads the text layer from a PDF document. Not all PDFs have accessible text — some are scanned images, and others have text embedded in a non-standard way. This tool uses PDF.js to parse the text content from each page when available.

The extracted text can be copied and used for search indexing, content analysis, data entry, or any workflow that requires the text content separate from the PDF formatting.
