Extract Text from PDF workspace

Extracts embedded text only. Scanned PDFs without a text layer need OCR (not provided here).

Cómo funciona

PDF.js reads text items from each page. Items are joined with spaces and line breaks based on positions when available. No remote OCR service is called.

Errores habituales

  • The result was empty The PDF may be scanned images only. This tool does not run OCR.
  • The order looks wrong Some PDFs store text in draw order, not reading order. Fix layout in the source when possible.
  • The file is encrypted Unlock it before extracting.

Limitaciones

No OCR, no table reconstruction, and no font embedding into the export. Files over 15 MB or 200 pages are refused.

Privacidad

The file stays in your browser. PepsTools does not upload it, store it, or send it to another service. Clear the tool or leave the page to drop it from memory.

Preguntas

Will it read a photo of a page?

Only if the PDF already contains a text layer. Photos alone are not recognized.
