Why convert PDF to TXT?

  • Extract copy for editing, analysis, or data processing.
  • Strip formatting to get clean text for import into other systems.
  • Reduce a document to its lightest, most portable form.

Tip: TXT keeps only the text — images, tables, and layout are dropped. Scanned PDFs need OCR before any text can be extracted.
