Extract Text from PDF

Pull embedded text from a PDF with PDF.js and download or copy the plain text.

Extract Text from PDF workspace

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

Como usar

Choose an unencrypted PDF, Extract text, then Copy or Download. Empty pages are noted. Large documents may take a few seconds in the tab.

Exemplo

Scanned image-only PDFs yield little or no text. There is no OCR on this tool.

Entrada

A text-based PDF invoice

Saída

Plain text lines from the content stream, in reading order when the PDF provides it

Como 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.

Erros comuns

  • 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.

Limitações

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

Privacidade

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.

Perguntas

Will it read a photo of a page?

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