Frequently asked questions

Is this different from the Text Extractor?

The Text Extractor shows text in the browser. This tool creates a downloadable TXT file for saving or further editing.

Will formatting be preserved?

Basic line breaks and paragraphs are preserved. Advanced formatting like fonts, colors, and layout is stripped in plain text.

Can I convert scanned PDFs?

Scanned PDFs are images and don't contain text data. You would need OCR (optical character recognition) to extract text from scanned documents.
