About this tool

When you need to copy the text of a PDF to reuse or translate it, this tool extracts the text from all pages and shows it so you can copy or download it.

It reads the text layer of the file. A scanned file only contains images, so no text will be found; you would need OCR software.

Frequently asked questions

Why is no text shown?

The file is probably a scan without a text layer.

Does it keep the formatting?

It extracts raw text without formatting or tables.
