How it works
KadiTools reads the text content of your PDF directly in your browser. The extracted text from each page is combined into a text document that you can download as a TXT file.
Text extraction
This tool works with PDFs that contain selectable text. It extracts the text stored inside the document without uploading the PDF to a server.
Important note
PDF to Text extracts existing text from a PDF. It does not perform OCR, so text contained only inside scanned images may not be detected. The formatting and visual layout of the original PDF may also not be preserved in the TXT file.
FAQ
Are my files uploaded?
No. The extraction takes place directly in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded to our servers.
Can I extract text from a multi-page PDF?
Yes. Text is extracted from each page and combined into a single TXT file that you can download.
Can this tool extract text from scanned PDFs?
Not reliably. Scanned PDFs often contain pages as images rather than selectable text. OCR is required to recognize text contained in those images.
Will the original formatting be preserved?
No. The tool extracts readable text rather than recreating the original PDF layout. Fonts, images, columns and other visual formatting may not be preserved.
