How to Extract Text from PDF

  1. Upload your PDF using the drag & drop area or the "Select PDF File" button.
  2. Choose an extraction method:
    • Standard Text: Fastest option for PDFs that already have text (not images).
    • OCR (Scanned PDFs): Use this for scanned documents or image-based PDFs. Reads text from images (slower). Default option.
    • Keep Formatting: Tries to preserve basic structure like paragraphs/lists from standard text PDFs.
  3. The extraction process starts automatically. Monitor the progress bar and status messages. OCR may take longer.
  4. Once complete, the extracted text appears below. You can copy it or download it as a .txt file using the buttons provided.
  5. Click "New File" to process another document.
